Construction Site: Difference between revisions
(I feel saying it was FOUNDED around the construction site doesn't make a ton of sense since we have little to no knowledge of the actual details of the city's founding. Makes more sense to just discuss where it's been stated to occur in various media.) |

The Construction Site,[1][better source needed] also known as Construction[2] or the Start,[3] is a location from Donkey Kong for the arcade and Donkey Kong for Game Boy. It is a building that is being constructed. When Donkey Kong kidnapped Pauline, he climbed up the construction site with her. When Mario attempted to pursue him, Donkey Kong began throwing barrels down at him.
In the original Donkey Kong, New York City served as the location of the construction site.[4] The Game Boy game indicated it was located in the vicinity of Big-City, while Donkey Kong Country: Rumble in the Jungle implied it was Big Ape City from Donkey Kong Land (also indicated, but not explicitly stated by the game's instruction booklet). In Super Mario Odyssey, the construction site is suggested to be located in New Donk City.[5][6]
