Game Theory: How DEADLY Is Donkey Kong’s Punch?

Game Theory dives into just how devastating Donkey Kong’s signature punch is—tracking its evolution from Super Smash Bros. to the new Donkey Kong Bananza on Switch 2—and crunches the numbers to figure out its real-world force and potential for destruction. MatPat and the team break down DK’s speed, mass, and impact to see if his mighty fist could actually level buildings (and opponents).
