Talk:Donkey Kong Video Arcade Keychain

I don't think this is a game...

I did more research on this keychain (like just one Google search) and scrolling down I found this video. Apparently, moving the joystick tilts the screen, making a 4 frame animation of Mario jumping over a barrel, making the illusion of you playing the actual game. Rykitu

@Rykitu Alright, I moved it over to the list of physical games. Would that be a better classification? Nelsonic (talk edits) 11:36, September 29, 2025 (EDT)

This shouldn't be considered a game at all, it's an interactive toy. I wouldn't consider anything where you interact with one feature to make the same pre-determined thing happen a game, even if it is intentionally recreating the appearance of a video game. -- Too Bad!

@Waluigi Time Okay. Where should it go? Nelsonic (talk edits) 13:33, September 29, 2025 (EDT)

@Nelsonic The best place I can think for this thing to go is Gallery:Keychains Rykitu

It's a piece of merchandise and should be treated as such with the appropriate categories and navboxes, that's probably all that needs to be done. I'm not a fan of the merchandise galleries, they're disorganized messes and are better off being replaced with pages for individual products/lines/manufacturers. -- Too Bad!
