Dad hacks Donkey Kong so his daughter can play as Pauline

[Swiket]

[quote]My three year old daughter and I play a lot of old games together. Her favorite is Donkey Kong. Two days ago, she asked me if she could play as the girl and save Mario. She's played as Princess Toadstool in Super Mario Bros. 2 and naturally just assumed she could do the same in Donkey Kong. I told her we couldn't in that particular Mario game, she seemed really bummed out by that. So what else am I supposed to do? Now I'm up at midnight hacking the ROM, replacing Mario with Pauline. I'm using the 2010 NES Donkey Kong ROM. I've redrawn Mario's frames and I swapped the palettes in the ROM. I replaced the M at the top with a P for Pauline. Thanks to Kevin Wilson for giving me the lead on the tools and advice.[/quote]

Donkey Kong 5 will require players to have constant connection to Nintendo's servers.

He should buy an old NES programmer cart (pretty cheap) and flash it onto their so he can play it on an actual NES

It's called Donkey Kong Jr. Just tell him Pauline got a condition that turned her into an ape too and it all makes sense.

Rather sad that every comment under articles like this says "that's not right" or "that's sexist" or "lol even my sister agrees that's gay".

An official female Link would be awesome, just to see how Nintendo handles it, even if it was just a cosmetic option.

[HyperTails]

What an awesome dad

So what's new? I mean it's kotaku so you shouldn't expect too much from their community or articles.

[Flyingman356]

This really means something to me

there's something symbolic in a role reversal of the very first instance of "save the pretty girl" in graphic cutscenes, imagine if it had been this way originally
