I took my camera to a late opening at our local conservation zoo last week.
"Show us all the cool animals, Rob!" I hear you saying.
"Okay," I reply, while uploading photos of a particularly photogenic pigeon I met while leaving the woodland enclosures 🪶

Me: "I took my camera to the conservation zoo again."

I love them.

Dal prossimo 25 settembre all’8 febbraio 2026, al Mudec - Museo delle Culture di Milano, un progetto nato dalla collaborazione con il Kunstmuseum dell’Aia. Novanta opere, tra cui acquerelli, xilografie e litografie, racconteranno l’arte di Maurits Cornelis Escher dalla A alla Z, facendo luce sulle fonti della sua ispirazione e sulla genesi di un linguaggio unico, che ha affascinato generazioni di pubblico e influenzato trasversalmente i creativi del Novecento.
Ideata da Judith Kaldee e curata da Claudio Bartocci, Paolo Branca e Claudio Salsi, M.C. Escher. Tra arte e scienza riporta l’artista olandese a Milano dopo dieci anni di assenza.

Kao the Kangaroo—at first it seems like a mere 2nd tier 3D mascot title. But looks can be deceiving.
The character design feels familiar. Bright colors. Boxing gloves. Animal protagonist with a loose sense of physics. It scans like a knockoff. Something you’d find bundled on a demo disc or misfiled next to Gex.
But it’s not American. Or Japanese. It’s Polish.
The first Kao came out in 2000. PC and Dreamcast. Not exactly prime real estate. PlayStation dominated the scene. Nintendo had its own thing going. Dreamcast was already dying. PC—especially in Eastern Europe—was where Kao found space to breathe.
And in Poland, he didn’t just breathe. He became a mascot.
There’s a different kind of ambition in Kao. It’s not trying to conquer. It’s trying to belong. Made by Tate Multimedia, a Warsaw studio with no real track record, the game feels like it was built with sheer willpower. The camera barely cooperates. The controls lag. The punches only register if you’re hugging the enemy.
But somehow it hangs together.
The levels are uneven. Some feel like filler. Others snap into focus—little moments of rhythm and flow that almost trick you into thinking this game is better than it is. Snowboarding down a mountain. Skipping across platforms. Kao hopping in place, excited you made it.
You can feel the energy behind it. The cheer. The sense that this was built by people who wanted to prove something.
Years later, I found Kao the Kangaroo on GBA. Bargain bin. I bought it without thinking. Played it. Different game entirely. 2D side-scroller. Same kangaroo. Same gloves. Same slightly off feeling that I couldn’t shake.
It wasn’t until I played the original PC version that I understood what I’d stumbled into.
Kao isn’t just another mascot. He’s a national project. Poland’s entry into a genre mostly defined by outside voices. The kangaroo is global, but the heart is regional. There’s no irony. No marketing playbook. Just a cartoon marsupial and some developers trying their best.
Tate kept at it. Round 2 in 2003. Mystery of the Volcano in 2005. A PSP version. A trilogy re-release. Most of it stayed in Europe. Outside Poland, Kao was barely a footnote.
Then Steam brought it back.
Round 2 got re-released in 2019. It sold better than expected. People remembered. Hashtags appeared. #BringKaoBack. Tate paid attention.
And in 2022, Kao came back.
The reboot is smoother. Faster. Cleaner. The awkward edges have been sanded down. Some fans miss the quirks. Others are just glad he’s still around.
So am I.
I’m 43 now. Canadian. Still think about Kao from time to time. The way he punches with too much commitment. The way he skips after a win. The way he keeps showing up—even when nobody asked.
There are plenty of mascot platformers. Most try too hard to be cool. Kao just tries.
That’s why he stuck.
