The speaker, who appears to be a game theorist, begins by announcing a special limited edition of "theorists swag" that will be available for purchase for the next two weeks. The items include a high-quality, fashionable asymmetric t-shirt featuring the logos of game theory and film theory, and a game theory backpack. The speaker also mentions a special surprise on the back of the backpack, which is a reference to a popular internet meme.
The speaker then delves into a detailed analysis of the upcoming game, Super Mario Odyssey, suggesting that the game's setting and characters are connected to the Donkey Kong universe. The speaker proposes that the game's characters, who are significantly taller than Mario, are affected by a "banana hoard" - a collection of super-sized bananas that are stolen from Donkey Kong. The speaker suggests that these bananas have magical properties that can cause things to grow to enormous sizes, explaining why the characters in the game are so much larger than Mario.
The speaker further speculates that the city of New York in the game, known as "new donk city," is connected to the Donkey Kong universe. The speaker points out numerous references to the Donkey Kong series in the game, including street signs, characters, and even a taxi with a license plate number referencing the year the original Donkey Kong arcade game was released.
The speaker concludes by inviting viewers to purchase the special limited edition "theorists swag" and encourages them to "crank up your sexiness levels" while doing so. The speaker also expresses anticipation for the game's release and hopes that their theory holds up.
