Behold the horror of Donkey Kong’s skeleton inside iconic Nintendo characters

Nintendo’s character designs are arguably some of the most iconic in gaming history, but what happens when you give these legendary characters a seemingly harmless mashup? I’ll tell you what you get – pure unrefined nightmare fuel. One curious TikTok user has put Donkey Kong’s skeleton inside every Mario Party character and the results are just as haunting as you might expect.

You don’t need me to tell you that there’s something innately spine-chilling about Princess Peach’s skin stretched over DK’s lumbering frame – the results speak for themselves. Thanks to this humble experiment I’ll never be able to see Nintendo’s beloved character design in the same way ever again. Thanks internet.
