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

This content originally appeared on DEV Community and was authored by Gaming News

TL;DR

MatPat’s latest Game Theory dives into just how devastating Donkey Kong’s iconic punch really is—both in Smash and in the upcoming Donkey Kong Bananza. Expect physics estimates, damage calculations, and a few surprising real-world comparisons that might make you think twice before standing in DK’s way.

Along the way he shouts out sponsors like Boot.Dev (25% off with code “THEGAMETHEORISTS”), teases Theorywear merch, and credits the behind-the-scenes team (writers Tom Robinson & Zaech Stew, editors Axellent, Koen Verhagen, Marc Schneider & Jerika, plus sound designer Yosi Berman).
