Inspired by the King of Kong documentary and brought to life by arcade owner and punk rockstar, Richie Knucklez, this competition invites the top Donkey Kong players to face off with other top gamers. Winners are chosen via single-elimination, head-to-head competition from the top 16 scorers from a two day open play event, that will determine who plays who for the ultimate championship on day three.
