I Fixed Every LEGO Donkey Kong Set

[@fritz404]

I think LEGO should make a Nintendo CMF if they won't give us Minifigures in the course sets

[@MemeKing360noscope]

I want Zelda minifigures

[@SandsGC]

They're Coming Soon

[@j.e.s.m.4686]

Yes. Hopefully we can get Mario (and other Nintendo related) minifigs

[@mrdansings]

You literally the Scott the Woz of LEGO lol. I loved this!!

The grey lego flower is meant to be a bit of dust/ lint to show how the crate is empty

[@SandsGC]

The Flower Is Blue

[@thesunkenlocker]

@@SandsGC He means "The blue lego flower is meant to be a bit of dust/ lint to show how the crate is empty" which I agree with. But regardless BANGER video, cant wait for you to make more.

[@grassyboulder4313]

My guess for the blue flower is either one of the flowers from the ending of tropical freeze when the trumpet is sounded, but these are not blue, or one of the secret relics from the same game, but these would be better as gray tiles

[@BrickTsar]

Everything thing I know about Donkey Kong I learned by watching this video. I appreciate your dedication to trying to figure out the reference to that flower that the designer accidentally dropped in when they were rendering the instructions.

[@zmano55]

sands i would assume the flower in the crate in the treehouse is to represent dust, showing that the bananas were stolen. i’m not to sure about that though

[@SandsGC]

Solid Idea

[@digi102]

They could’ve done a gray version of the ice cream piece to look like dust bunnies

[@jepron4639]

@@SandsGC it could also represent a snowflake from tropical freeze?

[@SamuelStudios]

The flower may be a reference to the flower in level 1 of Donkey Kong Country Returns. If you go underneath the hut there is a flower that you can blow on that reveals a puzzle piece. I may be overthinking it and it is a bit of a stretch but it's the only thing I can think of.

[@SandsGC]

I Thought The Same, But That Flower Is Red

[@prons_gaming5083]

0:40 i can't believe you didn't include the airship here. That's probably the best set of the theme imo

[@popularvote3613]

Maybe the flower is the single snowflake that puts out DK's cake candle in Tropical Freeze?

[@marksteppan.bazinga]

Sands' content is always a treat. Taking 30min to enjoy a 12min greatly edited video to the fullest, loving every .2sec references. You're awesome bud

[@GrandAdmiralGonk]

We really need more regular Mario sets that aren't ridiculously expensive

[@PLC]

The flower is from the Super Mario All Stars victory screen.

[@CharacterDesignForge]

Really well done, I grabbed all the sets out of loyalty to DK but ran into a lot of the same issues. (Also, little unsolicited thing, I know the retention editing thing has been tempting over the past two years but it's thankfully going out of style, you're good to take certain line reads a little slower since this isn't Shorts. Sorry, I know that's out of left field, just talking shop since I enjoy the content)

[@SandsGC]

That's The Same Reason I Got Them, In No Universe Would I Ever Be Interested In Jungle Jam Otherwise. I Do Apricate The Feedback, And Am Always Looking For It. I Try Not To Go Too Overboard With It, But Find Myself Needing To Pump The Breaks When Focusing Too Much On 3 Second Chunks. I Talk Fast Naturally, And My Wife Constantly Tells Me To Slow Down.

[@CharacterDesignForge]

@@SandsGC oh yeah for sure man! And it’s authentic to you going by your other videos too, it works really well like 90% of the time. Don’t change the way you talk, more of a “it’s ok to not trim out every possible frame in the edit” angle, only because I’ve 100% been there and it gets exhausting to have to “optimize” for

[@Mr.Foxhat]

I want a Metroid Lego set... But I *really* want a Mega Construx Samus minifig. Their Halo minifigs looks so awesome.

[@SandsGC]

They Always Look Good But The Parts Quality Don't Hold Up

[@terabitez3374]

No kremlings wtf!!! Also to answer your lore question the Moles (and most of the animals in returns)are actually possessed and gathering the bananas for a tribe of tikis because it’s revealed later on that DK’s banana hoard is magical…it’s weird

[@craigbarker4675]

Honestly I love how you have the cave under the tree house just like the og games, THIS is how the sets should’ve been along with Krool

[@GreenRobber-hq4ik]

I think the one thing that needs to be fixed the most is the lack of any Kremlings

[@sqrabbit1]

Now that you’ve fixed Lego Donkey Kong, can you start fixing the US Economy?

[@finnnequinto314]

youtube randomly recommended this vid to me and i’m so glad i watched cause this was funny as hell 😭😭

Very underrated channel. Good video once again sands

[@SandsGC]

Thanks

[@PringoOrSomething]

1:34 ay yo?😳

[@alexclarke3439]

The floeer might be a callback to the end cutscene of tropicalmfreeze, but that's a stretch

[@vix_arilynn]

The flower could be a dust bunny showing the Kong hoard is empty like all the times it’s been stolen.

[@soulstarved4116]

Didn't DK kidnap Daisy back in the day? Flower might be a reference to that. I think her color scheme was a yellow dress with a turquoise flower.

[@NicolasCageofficiaI]

i think the flower is meant to be the crystal coconut from the donkey kong show

[@Pk.wave100]

funny monkey banna grrrrrr 10/10

[@trepamuros5407]

they should add the mole train from dkc returns. i love that train

[@brendenkong625]

Dude, this is so fire. I've actually been working on enhancements of the sets for a stop-motion, and I totally agree with your criticism of them. Most design picks just don't work for Donkey Kong, or the demographic that genuinely loves the DK franchise. I had to remove DK's foot to get him in the minecart. Otherwise, he would just fall out I'm going to try to make Lanky and Chunky as well. Great video❤

[@SandsGC]

Good Luck, I'd Love To See How They Turn Out

[@brendenkong625]

@SandsGC Thanks man!

[@masterjedihudak1590]

Great video Sands! I have picked up DK for Christmas but have not built it yet. Daddy Kong coaster is on my wish list too. Thanks for your hard work making these sets better. Loved all your mods.

[@SandsGC]

Thanks, Funky And Diddy Make It Really Hard To Avoid Getting The Mine Shaft

[@GermanLad-Productions]

this is amazin! I have a suggestion, you should make a new original series called "ask sands" like people would comment on the video and you could answer questions and stuff every Tuesday, its never been done before i think you should do it.

[@SandsGC]

Very Orginal And Unique Idea, I'll Start Saving Questions

[@Dr.Frogerston]

[@Ariel-f2p]

I think the stupid flower piece is supposed to be a reference to the Crystal Coconut

[@agentmanface6255]

The mole’s are from donkey Kong country returns, specifically the cave area, where they appeared in two levels, one Minecart level and one where they acted as enemies used by a possessed mole boss TLDR: They were in donkey Kong country returns

[@SandsGC]

I Am Aware

[@PYC128]

I'm.... pretty sure the blue flowers are snowflakes. As a Tropical Freeze reference.

[@itzkalizz7274]

You are insanely underrated

[@GreenBlueWalkthrough]

Is it though one of the worse themes though? Atleast the the prices are fine and not out of wheck like star wars and marvel which all have the same issues by the way. And playablity is normally second to none with out ruining the buiblibity or collectability of the sets...

[@star-isnt-funny]

probably a stretch but if the flower is meant to be in the banana hoard cave maaaaaaybe its a reference to the flower you blow on in the cave of donkey kong country returns that gets you the first puzzle piece? again, probably a huge stretch but its my best guess

[@SandsGC]

I Had That Down As One Of The Possibility's, But I Felt Like That Was Giving Too Much Credit

[@BrickHQ]

Awesome video Lego needs to give us Mario minifigure sets. Great modifications I need all of these sets, especially since Diddy Kong is in one of them. There should have been a Nintendo logo printed on the cal, its a new mold. Wth Lego? Also the track system should have actually worked and not been broken Maybe you should send your notes to Lego

[@Fakob225]

perfect ending

[@EpicGamer_SansheeFreddy]

[@The-official-knudschannel]

Actually, the flower thing in DK’s hut is supposed to be a snowflake.

[@SandsGC]

Seems Like A Stretch, Especially With The Same Flower Being Used Multiple Times In The Set

Is the flower supposed to be a moth? Its a classic gag to have a moth fly out of an empty wallet. Maybe the joke is that the vault is empty?

[@KoopaDubs]

Jeez, a lot of your criticisms are just minor nitpicks. Like, spending a huge chunk of the video whining about an inconsequential flower piece was really unnecessary. I think these builds are fine as is, though I do appreciate the stability improvements. However, you actively admitted that the final product you made looks worse than what you started with. While it makes a nice display piece and I do like a few of your improvements to the treehouse, everything else looks super cluttered and packed together. I think many AFOLs like you refuse to admit that the Super Mario theme, and Lego as a whole, is a toy first and foremost, and isn’t looking to appeal to people who want sets sitting on their shelves outside of the D2C sets, rather emphasizing play features. If you want something more displayable, there’s already quite a few sets for you, but the theme isn’t really designed for that type of audience overall. You don’t need to nitpick the stuff you already don’t like. Why bother regurgitating what so many people have already said? If you don’t like it, don’t give it your time or money. AFOLs are always complaining about references and accuracy to source material, instead of admitting that they’re criticizing a playful toy for children that doesn’t necessarily need to represent all the deep cuts. Get real, man.
