Status: Lost
The DK Gorilla Project was one of the webseries featured on the DKTV microsite made by experiencepop
[1] and published by Nintendo to promote the release of Donkey Kong 64 by Rare Soft.
IGN was also involved in the release of the mini series somewhat.
Premise
It was a spoof of The Blair Witch Project similar to The Scooby Doo Project. It was about a group of friends lost in the woods with VHS cameras investigating a mystery, except instead of trying to find the Blair Witch they were trying to find Donkey Kong.
Testimony from forum lines[2] recalls few moments from the series, such as what can be described as the crew reacting to a pile of bananas they found on the ground and other cues that lead them to a cabin where they play DK64 in the end.
Availability
Is certain that those were hosted on donkeykong64 [3] the official Donkey Kong website between 1999 and 2000, ran for six episodes and those episodes lasted between a minute and two, taking into account the video bandwidth limitations of the time.
it's unknown if it was disponible anywhere after the years of 2001.
