Donkey Kong (Ilumination) isn't Class M

I was doing a blog about when Donkey Kong lifted the prisoners' cages because only the mass was calculated and not the force as such, whatever the point, I asked Mr. Bambu if my calculation was correct but he told me this :
Oh man. The earlier calc is also really bad.
So my main issue is with the feat, which is that Donkey Kong isn't doing the feat. He's pulling a wheel which causes the contraption to rise. It would be like saying an average human is Class 1 for being able to use a winch to raise a portcullis, it just doesn't translate 1:1 to LS like that.
There's issues on the old calc with the actual size of the cages (the hollow size is WAY off for at least some of them, I didn't check all of them) but that's besides the point, this isn't really a feat.
Therefore, I kindly ask that both Donkey Kong's profile and Mario's profile with the Super Star be removed from class M and be Class 50 like Bowser when throwing said rock.

This is functionally a retold variant of my own complaints. I hadn't expected you to make a thread on the subject so soon but, as they are my original complaints, I've no reason to disagree. The feat should be removed and the illumination pages will need to be rescaled.

Looks reasonable.
If there's another way to calculate the feat and get a lower and more reasonable result than the one I got, I'm not entirely against this downgrade. If not, I don't have a problem with it regardless.

Neutral, but leaning towards agree.
 
There isn't, the issue isn't that this feat is higher than it ought to be but rather that the feat is performed via machinery, rendering it entirely unquantifiable- all that is known is that it is somewhere less than whatever value we calculate it as, since the device is doing all of that lifting, DK is just leveraging it. The next best feat ought to be used.

Oh, well, in that case, I'm fine with the downgrade.
 
Yeah, it seems more like DK was just more like a "Cog in a bigger machine" situation here.
