When you talk about video game TV show adaptations, you may look at the likes of Fallout, The Last of Us, and Twisted Metal and think we're in the midst of a golden age. But in reality the golden age of gaming adaptations was between 1997 and 2000 when the Donkey Kong Country cartoon was on the air. And you can now relive that golden era as the entirety of the series is free to watch on YouTube as we speak.

When you think of Donkey Kong cartoon, you probably think it's some action/adventure series about fighting King K. Rool and protecting his bananas, and while that is an element of things, the series is also a musical, with multiple songs per episode. And it's what a coward would describe as "cursed," but those of us strong enough to embrace it can see what it truly is, art.
