Let us improve your day dramatically by sharing the most wholesome piece of Nintendo trivia we've stumbled across in recent times.
Anyone familiar with the Donkey Kong Country Returns series will likely remember the barrels used to transport DK around each stage; hop into one of these explosive beasts and you'll soon find yourself being fired off to a distant platform.
As it turns out, in the original Wii game, whenever DK and trusty sidekick Diddy Kong enter one of these barrels, DK actually gives Diddy a little cuddle. Awww. This has been discovered by @MarioBrothBlog, who unloaded the barrel model in the game to check out the monkeys within; rather than cut away portions of each character model, it would appear the development team opted to have them embrace in a very tight snuggle instead.
Is this little piece of trivia mostly useless? Probably, but then isn't that often the best kind of trivia? Either way, we find it reassuring to know that our favourite video game apes take care of each other throughout their perilous journeys.
Lovely stuff.

I love SupperMarioBroth, they have awesome trivia.
Diddy's head isnt turned enough
Cute Now it is time for a new Donkey Kong Country game for Switch! Kremlings! K. Rool! Animal buddies! David Wise! Please, Nintendo.
Will retro EVER release another game..... -yes i know metroid prime 4 exists-
@estaate I've had this idea for a while where they bring back the Kremlings and K. Rool but everything is cyberpunk, sort of like Kirby Planet Robobot . At the end of the game, you fight K. Rool who, after being severely damaged from the last battle, was turned into a cyborg instead of a captain or mad scientist, and you have a final battle with the half-animatronic "King K. Rupt." I feel like it would fit the other zany ideas Rare came up with back in the day quite well.
awww how cute👶wish I had time to find out things like this!😂😂😂 pretty cool though people notice these little things.
Useless trivia? Maybe. Cute? Heck yes!
Insanely cute haha
Lovely but what is the relationship between Diddy and Donkey? I thought they were just friends rather than father/son but they do have the same surname....
wait so why are both of their heads facing the same direction with the barrel model present, yet face opposite directions with the barrel model removed?
My father did the same for me when he shot me out of cannons.
That's very cute.
