Dr. Robotnik: The Donkey Kong Experience (Part 1)

DK returns for another episode of his long-running The Donkey Kong Experience podcast. Today, he’s joined by arch nemesis of Sonic the Hedgehog, Dr Robotnik. And also Diddy Kong is in the background, too, because of course he is. You’ve watched enough of these by now to know Diddy is always there!
Topics discussed include Dr Eggman asking the ape about how bananas work in Donkey Kong Country, wearing a metal exoskeleton, and there are probably some adverts for some pills in here somewhere too.

Eggman would demolish K-rool. His technology and robot army is aparently enough to rule the entire world. It takes someone on Sonics level of speed and power to put a stop to him. Especially since he's got mecha sonic to help him, and whatever other mercanaries and minions he can get on his side.

I feel like a podcast between Robotnik and Bowser would end in a debate on their end goal. Bowser: Wants a sense of fulfillment and support. Marrying peach would give him a life partner and a motherly figure for his kids. He will also go off of free will, as he will not resort to mind control to force peach to marry him. Eggman: wants to build a amusement park, something that he has the funds resources and countless power sources to do. If not that then to conquer the world. In which it will be a debate about blind obedience vs fear and respect. Which both parties have had their share of betrayal.
