While ripping YI sprites, I stumbled across an enemy graphic set I had never seen.
After a but of inspection, I found it was DK himself, or, at least a look-a-like.
Here are my 3 evidence images, enjoy.

#1; The original string in ROM.


#2; A Bit of my arranging...


#3; My prediction of what He might have looked ilke.


Truly amazing.
Perhaps there's still some routine leftovers so he could be revived back to the game?

Nice. looks like the sprite was unfinished, and never got a proper palette. good luck finding anything related to that sprite.

I don't think it's definitively Donkey Kong, but rather just a monkey with DK behavior... More than like a tribute to the original game. Bit of a shame it was never used.

Looking at the pics, maybe it's a type of Ukiki. DKiki, perhaps?

Did you make that pallete? without the barrel and tie surrounding it, it doesn't make me think DK at all, but i love unused finds

Ah yeah, thats a weird one. I saw that a while back while looking through the ROM...along with the tree and mushroom Yoshi morphs

Theres some interesting stuff in that ROM that is unused, and the DK sprite is certainly one of them

Or maybe it's a DK morph!!! Yoshi turns into DK, takes Baby Mario to the top of a skyscraper and throws barrels down at Kamek who tries to steal Mario...

Or not .

But it would have been interesting.

No, the palette is real.

There were no Ukikis in Yoshi's Island. They were Monkeys whose names are yet unknown. The do have awful resemblance to the Ukiki named Monkeys in Super Mario 64, but there hasn't been an official confirmation from a trusted source.

That would be my guess. It's probably just a small cameo that they intended to include in the game but it never made the cut...

Heh, and wouldn't this go along the unused transformation sprites of Yoshi? << And it's kinda obvious what the behavior of this monkey would been.

Probably would needed a ground bound to defeat him, since some of the faces looks like he's being jumped on. <<

As far as I'm aware, there's only one unused transformation sprite found, The Airplane Yoshi.
The Tree and the Mushroom may look like Yoshi, but I really don't think they're supposed to be transformations. Seeing how the Submarine, the Airplane, the Helicopter, the Mole tank and the Car are all Mechanical structures, it's very unlikely.

If I recall correctly, the monkey's name was "Grinder".
I remember that from Tetris Attack; he was Poochy's mascot.
Pretty cool; I'd like to see that implimented.

That's right. Grinder makes no sense, though. It reminds me of SMW's crazy buzzsaws. O_o

But yeah, it'd be nice to see that DK-Grinder thing put into a YI hack.

Weren't the mushroom and tree right next to the transformations though?

That could just be his getting-squished animation, doesn't mean he'd need to be pounded.

Hm, so then they might have been enemies. Killer trees and monster mushrooms do sound like something you'd find in YI.

Most likely they're supposed to look like ordinary Trees and Mushrooms, and when Yoshi touches them, they reveal their true form.
