Frantic Tower of Goats - A Hat in Time/ Donkey Kong 64 Mashup
While making this mashup, I couldn’t help but imagine someone making a “DK 64” rom hack similar to Kaze Emanuar’s “Super Donkey Kong 64” game, but instead of Mario being in the world of “Donkey Kong 64”, it’s Hat Kid. With how Hat Kid is, it wouldn’t be much of a stretch to see her beating the snot out of Kremlings and doing her sassy dance when collecting a golden banana or defeating a boss. Heck, now that I think about it, the jingle that plays when you collect a golden banana is timed perfectly to Hat Kid’s sassy dance.
The best part is that I can see this sort of thing canonically happening in “A Hat in Time”. Snatcher, irritated by how he’s constantly being bested by this small, sassy child, uses his powers to strike a deal with a villain from a different video game series- he’ll help them out with their enemy by sending them to his world, but in exchange, he’d send Hat Kid to that villain’s world. Of course, the villain would laugh it off and agree to the deal without any hesitation, only for them to turn around and see Hat Kid doing her sassy dance on a huge pile of their bruised and beaten minions before slowly sauntering over to them while brandishing her umbrella.
