I just noticed in the first pic, that the colour chart at the bottom indicates moves like the helicopter spin would've needed to be unlocked by beating bosses or finding them. Kinda glad they didn't go that route tbh.

overworld map concept art and levels/props suggestions:
interesting t osee concepts that were reused for future games (silouhette levels) or were transformed in the final game (parrot level that goes down instead of up, winds instead of water current... etc).

After some prodding, Gregg Mayles posted more stuff from the Donkey Kong vs Super Wario binder!

“@TopherPutnam wanted more info on a disused concept we did for #DKC, so here it is! Mario invents a time machine, Wario uses it to acquire a fancy gun that he turns Mario to stone with, a parrot sees it all and flaps off to get DK's help”

For the 25th anniversary of Donkey Kong Country, Gregg Mayles has posted more stuff on twitter, including the galaxy-brained, DK Vine-approved original storyline, confirmation the mine cart levels were based on Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and the original shitty overcomplicated controls, "Queen Krapp", and yet more animal buddies ideas.

“Within the #DKCArchive at #12 there's quite a few proposals for a way more complex story than we ended up with, which was basically 'K.Rool steals DK's bananas for no solid reason and DK wants them back even though he couldn't possibly need them all' #WorldDonkeyKongDay #DKC25”

“Bit of a mixed bag at #11 in the #DKCArchive. There's some animal companion ideas, some thinking on how to add 'movement' in levels and a highly detailed schedule where our recruitment plan was to get a 'new bloke' #WorldDonkeyKongDay #DKC25”

“What's next from the #DKCArchives? How about some character ability and level feature ideas at #9? As you can see, I created many more ideas than we could possibly fit in one game! Some appeared in sequels and some sadly just remained on paper #WorldDonkeyKongDay #DKC25”

“Carefully preserved in their custom made A1 folder, all the original level maps still exist in the #DKCArchives #8. Designed on post-it notes in an era when the only colour was yellow and then built using an in-house custom editor #WorldDonkeyKongDay #DKC25”

“I based the #DKC minecarts on the amazing scene from #TempleofDoom, but the simple, fast and exciting fun it ended up being could have been a far more complicated (and almost certainly worse) experience. The #DKCArchives #7 reveals the original design #WorldDonkeyKongDay #DKC25”

“DK had an iconic roll attack, but it could have been so different. From the #DKCArchives #3, witness the abilities that could have been, including the terrible leapfrog attack that @Chris_Suth gallantly tried to make work. It didn't. #WorldDonkeyKongDay #DKC25”

The bit about Donkey Kong having Battle Toad eyes blew my mind.
