tl;dr

In today’s Game Theory episode (sponsored by Boot.Dev), MatPat and crew put Donkey Kong’s legendary Smash punch under the microscope—then supercharge it in Donkey Kong Bananza—to see just how much destruction a single DK fist can dish out. They crunch real-world physics, pit Smash DK against his newest outing, and uncover whether his hammer-knuckle blow could genuinely obliterate everything in its path.

Plus, they’ve sprinkled in some sweet deals—25% off Boot.Dev with code THEGAMETHEORISTS and Theorywear merch—before rolling credits for writers Tom Robinson & Zaech Stew, editors Axellent, Koen Verhagen, Marc Schneider & Jerika, and sound designer Yosi Berman (with an Epidemic Sound trial link for your content-creation jams).
