Happy Donut Day (and #FediDonutFriday) to those who celebrate! 🍩 Present and Correct shared a link to the Mister Donut museum on Bluesky and upon clicking through I was greeted with a familiar face: a chocolate ring donut.

Strangely, I've seen this chocolate ring donut before: from the hours staring at sprite-sheets from the Super Smash Bros. and Kirby Air Riders franchises. That donut looked just like the one from Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

“But Seth”, I hear you say, “chocolate ring donuts all look the same anyway!” Maybe... and yet...

Funnily enough, the Render96 wiki, which collects origins for artwork for many games like Super Smash Bros., lists the donut from Super Smash Bros. Melee as one of the few foods where the origin is not known. Could this donut also be a Mister Donut? We'll probably never know!

Wow, you made it to the end!
