Cashing in on Smash Bros. Mania, we take a look back at the first game in the series: 1999's Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo 64. What did we think of the game when it came out, when Smash Bros. was more of a contemporary of Mario Party and not the center of the Nintendo Universe? What did we think of the Donkey Kong representation in the game? How in the world did Sakurai get through an entire Smash Bros. without any Fire Emblem or Kid Icarus elements?

Like any good show, we call back to the events of our first episode by discussing the return of Diddy Kong Racing Wii U rumors. Chad and Hyle go in-depth about the curious case of Kevin Callahan and examine whether his tall tale has any merit or not.

Celebrate your independence from mediocre podcasts that discuss children's golf games by listening to the BEST. Yes, in this episode we finally get around to Mario Golf: World Tour. Does it meet the high expectations set by previous installments of the franchise, or has the series finally lost its green jacket?

Chad and Hyle are joined by Mrs. Chad for a massive purge of all of their thoughts so far on Mario Kart 8. We cover all of the highs, the lows, and the Moo Moo cows. Given DK Vine's harsh stance towards the series for over a decade, was this the one to win us over or break us completely?

A Zen-like Chad and a fatigued Hyle crawl out of E3 2014 to give their final thoughts on the event. They also talk about the news and rumors that have trickled out over the last week, including the possible return of a long-lost Donkey Kong character. Additionally, the winners of the "Let Chief Bloatazin Clothe You" contest are announced at the top of the show!

Someone had it out for this episode! The first night we recorded, Skype crashed on all ends. The second night we recorded, a storm knocked out Hyle's power. Somehow, we've stiched together the whole experience to give you our thoughts on Nintendo's output at E3. Gee guys, we weren't that hard on you! You didn't have to pay off Skype and seed the clouds in order to sabotage us.

Yawn. It's just another Microsoft event at E3, and, after the crap they just pulled with Rare, why the hell should we care about what they have to offer? It turns out Team Dakota, developers of Project Spark, gave us one reason.

What do Donkey Kong Universe fans look like on the eve of E3 one year AFTER they got a new Donkey Kong Country game at E3, trying to push away the sinking feeling they're getting nothing this year? Chad, Hyle, and Matt Cornah are the focus of this scientific study. One is unrelenting in his abrasive negativity, one is deluded by a misplaced and foolish sense of optimism and the other is Matt! Can you guess who's who? It's the first of three daily Kongversations!

As Donkey Kong fandom gets ready for yet another E3, we close the book on formal Tropical Freeze discussion by giving our final thoughts on the game. How does it rank in the grand lineage of the Donkey Kong Country franchise? Hyle is joined by special guest Joe Mudd (who was there when we first learned about the game last year) before Chad and his wife Janell join the proceedings to give their perspective on co-op.

Just as fans were yet again letting themselves get optimistic about Rare's situation under Microsoft, Microsoft has made fools of us all by letting a large number of employees go. Needless to say, Chad and Hyle are not terribly pleased by this turn of events.
