Giant Punch, Donkey Kong's neutral special move in the Super Smash Bros. series, is not explicitly based on any move he has ever performed in a game prior to its introduction in Super Smash Bros. in 1999.
The closest thing to that move that Donkey Kong has ever performed was a wind-up punch in the "Bad Hair Day" episode of the Donkey Kong Country cartoon, which aired in 1996. As such, it is possible that this move is actually based on the cartoon; though it is not particularly likely since the concept of a wind-up punch could have been easily been independently devised by the developers.

I am Ahmed from Gaza, 26 years old. I stand before you as a person trying to support my family of 7: me, my father, my mother and my sisters, in our miserable circumstances, which we live in after the occupation launched the war on Gaza. We were displaced from our home and it was completely destroyed. We are now living in shelters. Due to the circumstances and low income, we are unable to provide the necessary benefits such as food and drink due to the crazy increase in prices. Thus, my source of livelihood has been destroyed, but it has been completely destroyed, as we are no longer entitled to work; and we expect to live in miserable conditions in the shelters. It is difficult for me to find the words to describe what we face every day in the shelters; without food, medicine or clean drinking water; with the oppression, helplessness, psychological pressures, doubts and daily shocks caused by everything around us and the inability to care for our loved ones. The fear of danger, disease and death never leaves us.
Now, I find myself in this difficult situation, and I humbly ask for your help to save the lives of my family, especially my father and mother, by getting us out of Gaza to Egypt and building a new life outside Gaza or helping us get money to buy the necessities that we may be able to afford. Asking for help is not easy, but we had no choice because we want to survive and strive to rebuild our shattered lives. We are very grateful for any help you can offer, no matter how small, as your help will go a long way in alleviating our suffering. I hope you will share my story with your family and friends.”

“I don’t want to leave you behind, but we can’t see any other way, Noor,” Mama said. “We are so tired. We cannot bear it anymore.”
Fahed (@/fahed-2) & Reem (@/reem-reem-0), fled south together with their children & their children's grandmother. Fahed's sister's family of 5 fled south as well, and the 13 of them remained together. But after 14 months of surviving hell as a unit (and nearly reaching their campaign goal) the family is now facing one of the worse decisions imaginable: who will be able to evacuate Gaza and who will be forced to stay behind.
There may be an opportunity for evacuation soon, but they're bracing for separation, with Fahed staying behind with his sister and her family. It's hard enough reunifying in Gaza, but with the border with Egypt between them, there's no telling when (or if) they'll ever see each other again. It shouldn't be a choice this family has to make: who survives, who may not. Their kids shouldn't be forcibly separated from their dad, nor Reem from her husband.
Fahed & Reem are some of the kindest, gentlest people ever, and their kids are dazzling, just absolute sweethearts. They've all lost so much and experienced too much, and somehow, kept finding a way to endure.
But right now, they might lose each other, so please: pitch in what you can, help the Shehabs stay together 🙏

UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot near a Midtown Manhattan hotel in a potentially targeted shooting early Wednesday, according to
The words "deny," "defend" and "depose" were discovered by detectives on the shell casings found at the scene where Brian Thompson, the CEO of major insurance group UnitedHealthcare, was gunned down, police sources told ABC News late Wednesday evening.
There was a book about insurers ripping people off titled "Delay, Deny, Defend".
The plain interpretation is that the shooter was unhappy about insurance business practices. United Healthcare is notoriously bad about denying claims. I have a denial letter from them on my desk right now. That would narrow the suspect pool down to millions of people.

If the poll attracted your attention, please, stay for a few more minutes and try your best to help Mohammed ( @save-mohamed-family ) and his family out.
Mohammed is father of three children, no older than six years old. His wife has cancer and urgently needs treatment abroad. The family needs to raise $40k USD by January to be able to evacuate and reach safety. They have already experienced so much loss and pain; please, let's do our best to help them out and escape the ongoing genocide.
Hi, I'm a grad student in NYC who has been active in Palestine solidarity for a while and am absolutely horrified and heartbroken by the amo
This family is vetted and number #192 in el-shab-hussein's and nabulsi's spreadsheet
Here is the link to Mohammed's chuffed campaign. As for writing this post, it hasn't even reached $1500 yet.
The time is of highest essence here. Can we try and raise at least $2000 till the end of this week?
If you have any spare money, please, consider sending it this family's way. If you cannot contribute by donating, share it with any of your friends or relatives that might be able to do so!
Here are the pictures of Mohammed's children that he sent me via Whatsapp and asked to share in this post. Those kids deserve so much better than the horrible conditions they are forced to live in. They deserve a beautiful life alongside their mother and father, far from war, famine and genocide.
ok last thing. but what people fundamentally need to get through their heads is the significance of gaza fundraisers not being the same as like mutual aid when you're helping someone get groceries, because it is a genocide. there is insane deliberate scarcity and prices are unmanageable, because there is nowhere nearly enough for everyone, so only people who can pay can eat. and what positioning individual fundraisers as the only course of action does is quite simply give a tiny percentage of random people whose fundraisers take off the ability to pay those prices while thousands of others can't. and every one of those thousands of people without a fundraiser is suffering through the same inconceivably horrific reality. it is giving a few completely desperate people out of hundreds of thousands a slightly more favorable position in a horrific war economy of imposed scarcity. and what grassroots community kitchens do is try to mitigate in some small way that inconceivable hierarchy of who can pay and who can't, by stretching ingredients as far as they can last to cook meals at large scale and give them out at no cost. and obviously people are still going to send money to their friends and families because this is hell what else are we supposed to do but please just think about that before promoting endless individual fundraisers as somehow the most ethical way to help
Operation Olive Branch has a spreadsheet dedicated to mutual aid, local distro, community kitchens, etc. in Gaza.
This is a good place to start if seeking to donate to a community resilience action. Just contact the group(s) directly to make sure they are still active. Life in Gaza and Palestine is full of uncertainty.
