***WARNING***
POSSIBLE MARIO ODYSSEY SPOILERS IN THIS VIDEO
Super Mario Odyssey spoilers in this video if you haven't gotten to New Donk City yet, but pretty cool stuff! They really did a great job of paying tribute to so many Mario games, especially the original arcade DK:

The beloved arcade game Donkey Kong turns 40 years old this month.

^(disagrees with this part of the article and the audio due to the other parts of the article quoted here each involving texts of, "July 12, 2021" and due to various articles like the one I had quoted here earlier involving text of, "This Week in History for May 29-June 4"))

Code Bullet (roughly) recreates DK and then trains an AI to play it (just the barrel screen).
