Status: Partially Found

This article has been tagged as Needing work due to its lack or no information whatsoever on other DKTV shows listed in this article (with the exception of The DK Gorilla Project).


The DK Gorilla Project was one of the web series featured on the DKTV microsite made by experiencepop[1] and published by Nintendo to promote the release of Donkey Kong 64 by Rare Soft.

Premise

It was a spoof of The Blair Witch Project similar to The Scooby-Doo Project, about a group of friends lost in the woods with VHS cameras investigating a mystery, except instead of trying to find the Blair Witch they were trying to find Donkey Kong.

Testimony from forum lines[2] recalls a few moments from the series, such as what can be described as the crew reacting to a pile of bananas they found on the ground and other clues that lead them to a cabin where they play DK64 in the end.

Availability

It is certain that those videos were hosted on donkeykong64[3], the official Donkey Kong website between 1999 and 2000. It ran for six episodes and each one lasted between a minute and two, taking into account the video bandwidth limitations of the time.

It's currently unknown (as of December 2023) if there are episodes available anywhere after the year 2001.
