After a long and gruelling battle with the powers that be, the DK Vine Tumblar is proud to announce that our Klump post, which contains an official Nintendo-owned render of the classic Donkey Kong baddie, has been reinstated. If you find yourself in need of access to this render while away from any reliable source of electricity, it can be found on Page 29 of the Donkey Kong Country manual.

Read your video game credits. You never know when you’re gonna encounter stuff like, say, current President & CEO of Retro Studios Michael Kelbaugh credited as a voice actor in Blast Corps.

Don’t think there was any obligation to put the Rare logo here, making the time-capsule-ness of this image all the more nifty.

Right: The texture used for the underside of Dippy’s tongue.
