Rad Dad Hacks Donkey Kong So His Daughter Can Be the Hero
Latest
Mike Mika’s three-year-old daughter loves playing old video games with him. One day, when they were duel conquering Donkey Kong, she became a bit miffed because she could only pick Mario to rescue Pauline, and not the other way around. That’s not only due to Mario being the worst (just ask Wario, he’ll tell you all about it), but mainly because Mika’s toddler daughter wanted to play as a girl.
“She’s played as Princess Toadstool in Super Mario Bros. 2 and naturally just assumed she could do the same in Donkey Kong. I told her we couldn’t in that particular Mario game, she seemed really bummed out by that,” Mike posted to YouTube. “So what else am I supposed to do? Now I’m up at midnight hacking the ROM, replacing Mario with Pauline.”
