"August 12, 2004 - All right, gang, a show of hands. How many of you remember last year when Rare made the sneaky announcement about It's Mr. Pants, a game that the studio had in development for the Game Boy Advance? It was almost exactly a year to the day when the revelation was made that the company's unofficial mascot, the trouser-donning 'stached fellow with a derby Mr. Pants, was to get a GBA game of his very own.
But unfortunately, that's all we got. After that one announcement, Rare clamped down into silence mode on the project, and thus began the mystery of exactly what was to be It's Mr. Pants for the Game Boy Advance. No amount of poking and prodding towards the blokes in the UK would make them crack and let slip any potential tidbits of Mr. Pants' gaming debut.
Well, it's been a year. And after 365 long, agonizing, almost torturous days of waiting, we can reveal, finally, the ridiculousness that is Rare's latest game for release in 2004: It's Mr. Pants. And boy, was it worth it.
But first, a little background. More than three years ago, back at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in 2001 (just before the release of the Game Boy Advance in the US), Rare demonstrated four GBA games at Nintendo's booth. One of which was a Donkey Kong-branded puzzle game titled DK Coconut Crackers. Though the Nintendo/Rare relationship broke down before the company could release any GBA games, DK Coconut Crackers pretty much hit the skids early -- whatever the reason, the game disappeared from release lists and was quietly removed from Nintendo's line-up.
When Rare and THQ paired up last year and made the shocking It's Mr. Pants announcement, many people made the intelligent speculation that the mysterious game was the revival of DK Coconut Crackers. After all, the list of games in the THQ/Rare line-up mirrored the same line-up that Rare had demonstrated at E3 just a couple years before. The only addition was It's Mr. Pants. It just made sense.
Anyone who speculated that It's Mr. Pants is a retooled DK: Coconut Crackers: Give yourself a cookie."
