Super Smash Bros 4 Pic of the Day Shows Donkey Kong Encountering Bomb
A new pic of the day posted up by Super Smash Bros 4 director Masahiro Sakurai depicts Donkey Kong encountering a tiny Motion sensor bomb.
"Pic of the day. The tiny Motion-Sensor Bomb is hard to see," wrote Sakurai. "If you get any closer, it's dangerous."
Donkey Kong is examining the bomb in what appears to be the Wii U version of the game. The quote indicates that this could be part of some kind of story mode or cut scene involving the famed monkey exploring the terrain.

Donkey Kong has made an appearance in all of the Smash Bros games starting with the original that launched for the Nintendo 64 in 1999.
Super Smash Bros 4 director Masahiro Sakurai also recently reviewed the PS4 console online.
"What I found most appealing was the machine's power," he said regarding Sony's system. "Looking over the various software, the screens are detailed and smooth. Load times are short and there are no slowdowns. Such performance right out the gate- this will help a lot of developers."
The Nintendo developer loves the company that he works for, but is not shy about being a fan and owner of rival consoles.
"Whether it's Nintendo or Sony, Japanese or foreign, I don't care about picking sides," he said. "I work hoping that the future of games and the game business will be more fun."
His main complaint was that the PS4 was not directly compatible with the older PlayStation systems.
"If only I could play PS3 games on it, I could pack up my PS4 and my room would be cleaner," Sakurai said.
Super Smash Bros for the Wii U and 3DS is expected to be released sometime later this year.
