The Game Theorists: Game Theory: How DEADLY Is Donkey Kong's Punch?

Game Theory’s latest episode tackles just how devastating Donkey Kong’s signature punch really is. By examining his Smash moves and the new Donkey Kong Bananza gameplay, the team crunches the physics, compares in-game feats to real-world equivalents, and uncovers whether DK could actually demolish mountains (or buildings) with a single swing.

Alongside the deep dive you get the usual sponsor spots—Boot.Dev, Theorywear and Epidemic Sound—and props to the behind-the-scenes crew: writers Tom Robinson & Zaech Stew, editors Axellent, Koen Verhagen, Marc Schneider & Jerika, plus sound designer Yosi Berman.
