Donkey Kong Cereal Commercials Collection

OK for you adults who grew up in the 80s here is a collection of the donkey kong and donkey kong jr cereal commercials with a early Mario! Yes that's zack from saved by the bell as a kid!

[@tommydiaz-millan2438]

We first hear Jumpman (Mario) saying "Here we go."

[@deionpehowdy]

It even Sounds like how Mario Currently Sounds in The Games.

[@Spookyweasel99]

Bruh this is the first time mario / jumpman speaks

[@tommydiaz-millan2438]

@@Spookyweasel99 In a commercial, not in the games.

[@EthanAnania]

It’s at 1:14

[@superchiptunetv2291]

at that time jump man already called "mario" and already spoke "here we go"

[@MrBlueSkyof1607]

And had an Italian accent already.

[@MAYITO1107]

1:14 He said it!! He said the thing before the thing was his thing!!

[@saturdaymorningfan3123]

He did didn't he.

[@zbroadcast3414]

The fact that he even has a higher pitched voice makes it even scarier.

[@y0sh812]

"Kids, I'm-a gonna jump-a, you're-a gonna crunch-a!" "HERE WE GO!"

[@reubenguttenberg7405]

Donkey Kong

[@deionpehowdy]

I Can't Believe Mario Had His High Pitched Voice and Near Italian Accent Before The recent Games.

[@saturdaymorningfan3123]

It's pretty close to the one he has now!

[@Nothingisaroundhere]

0:55 I love Mario (Jumpman) 's face here

[@deionpehowdy]

It Somehow Makes Me Laugh When He Smiles Like That.

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

​@@deionpehowdyMario at his Popeye-ish best!

[@QHMCQ]

I remember DK cereal. It was literally just Cap'n Crunch in a different shape. I still ate it. LOL

[@erich5363]

Omg Eric I was just thinking that today lok

[@erainmartinez8175]

yes!

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

Yeah, barrel-shaped pieces.

[@longagoandfaraway7868]

It seems most of Ralston's cereals for kids were basically the same sweetened corn meal mush. Remember Freakies? Waffelos? Gremlins? Batman (1989)? Quaker did the same thing with all their Cap'n Crunch variants like Quisp and Quake and whatever latest fad arrived on the scene. I guess these places wondered "what do we do with all this degermed corn meal that has basically no nutritional value?" "I know, let's sugar it up and make it into kids' cereals!" As for adult cereal it's the same with corn flakes. Really nothing in them except for some "added vitamins and minerals".

[@gibsonraymonda]

Yeah, but if you wanna go that route, C3POs were just conjoined Cheerios. We were all easy to please back then.

[@chamtheman551]

"It's wild with fruit flavor" _~ Donkey Kong Jr._

[@victorhernandez8723]

Was that Arnold Stang I heard?

[@cash2.0]

No Donkey Kong 3 cereal? Eat it before the hornets sting you!

[@freakfoxvevo7915]

The potential for the honey flavor would've sold me alone.

[@deionpehowdy]

I don't understand Why Donkey Kong 3 Isn't Even That Famous in Media. Considering That It's Someone other than Mario. It would be nice if They had a Cereal Based On That Game Too

[@ClassicSonicSatAm]

@@deionpehowdy Well they did one Saturday Supercade episode where Mario teams up with Stanley but that was it, Donkey Kong 3 really didn't do well, considering it only had one or two ports while Mario Bros had a ton of ports.

[@deionpehowdy]

@@ClassicSonicSatAm Oh.

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

The voice beign so similar to Charles Martinet and even saying "here we go!" makes me wonder if Martinet was inspired by this take

[@Mac14329]

I think they predicted Mario's characterization in later games.

[@icanliveforever1243]

I see no one mentioning that the narrator is Blacula.

[@vertz1515]

1:14

[@johnnobon]

Strange, this is one of the first times Mario's ever had a voice, and it is strangely not that far off from his modern in-game voice. High pitched, jolly, and i might be hearing some semblance of an accent.

[@deionpehowdy]

He Even Says "Here We Go."

[@MrBlueSkyof1607]

​@@deionpehowdyNot to mention is named "Mario" already.

[@deionpehowdy]

@@MrBlueSkyof1607 Oh, Right. Instead of Jumpman.

[@Itsyallanimator]

Because charles wasnt working there until 1991

[@TheLewistownTrainspotter8102]

0:33 Well, this cereal immediately seems unhygienic.

[@joshua2337]

1983's Ralston Donkey Kong cereal commercial tells a story about a little girl named Tabitha and her twin brother; a little boy named Travis who are sitting at a table and chairs with a box of Donkey Kong cereal that contains sugary sweet corn and oat barrel shaped cereal pieces which gives them an ability to make crunching sounds which are the only sounds they make in order to help the jump man himself Mario saving his love interest Pauline from Donkey Kong the Nintendo gorilla who tries to defeat him. They also team up with Mario to defeat Donkey Kong.

[@Famardy]

This is the first time Mario actually talks!

[@Nothingisaroundhere]

AND HE SAID "HERE WE GO"

[@MrBlueSkyof1607]

​@@NothingisaroundhereIn his Italian accent, too.

[@darkbonnie87fan]

Before optimus prime mario voice in that donkey kong cartoon (that isn't dk country). Even years and years before we got our god charles martinet

[@kenmottet]

The "Donkey Kong" jingle was sung by Illinois rockabilly pioneer the late Ron Cannon(AKA Big Daddy Sun). These commercials made the downpayment on his first house in Chicago. We were so proud of him when he got this gig.

[@PabloToonimations]

Fact: we thought Mario 64 from 1996 is the first time we see Mario without his hat, but it's actually the Donkey Kong cereal commercials where his hat goes off briefly. He was originally bald, but the first time we see his full head of hair is in the Saturday Supercade Donkey Kong cartoon in 1983.

[@mikeburkhart8336]

I loved this cereal as a kid! It was like Cap' Crunch but it was barrel shaped.

[@SolarFarle]

Did taste exactly like Cap'n Crunch? Cause I wasn't alive when the Donkey Kong cereal was still a thing.

[@mikeburkhart8336]

@@SolarFarle Yes,the cereal did taste just like Cap' Crunch.

[@SolarFarle]

@@mikeburkhart8336 I see and as someone born in 2000 I envy the people that were able to try certain food products before my time.

Why does Mario's voice sounds like Charles Martinet in the third commercial?

Excellent question. 😏

[@saturdaymorningfan3123]

Well he was made to replace popeye when nintendo could not get the rights to make a popeye game. (they would make one later!)

[@Miksy51]

Before he said here we go, Mario (or Jumpman) sounds like Shaggy Rogers. You're welcome! (You won't unhear it.)

there should be a donkey kong country cereal with frosted red dk barrels and banana marshmallows and also a berry flavor version with frosted barrel cereal and a fruit flavors berries with fruit rings and same bana marshmallows

[@nicholaslienandjaja1815]

My idea for a new Donkey Kong cereal: Similar to the recent Super Mario cereal, but with banana-shaped cereal and three marshmallow shapes: Donkey Kong's head, a barrel, and a crocodile. And the box features Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong (the back of the box has a maze game in which you help Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong escape from King K. Rool).

Wow I've never seen any 1980s breakfast cereal ads from the USA 🇺🇸 before in my entire life. They look pretty very interesting. It's too bad they were only available in the USA 🇺🇸 and Canada 🇨🇦 because I live in Dublin, Ireland 🇮🇪 and besides they had been discontinued before I was born.

Almost like Mario was partially inspired by Popeye, given how Nintendo wanted to make a Popeye game but didn't have the rights.

[@SageSonic]

@@Krakenborn654 I know the history of Mario

[@GardevoirBoy]

I often confuse Diddy Kong for Donkey Kong Jr. because of the latter's look on the cereal box. It could also be that Rare intended Diddy Kong to be Donkey Kong Jr.'s replacement.

[@D2Kprime]

The Donkey Kong in the Rareware games till present IS Donkey Kong Jr. Cranky Kong is the original Donkey Kong.
