These Focal Diva Mezza Utopia speakers take streaming hi-fi to a whole new level
In the lingo of musical instruction, 'mezza' means to play softly or at half volume, but there are absolutely no half measures when it comes to these Focal Diva Mezza Utopia speakers. Following on from last year's Diva Utopia, which would set you back a hefty £29,999, the Mezza require even deeper pockets at £55,000 per pair. So what do you get for your gigantic pile of cash? Standing slightly taller than an Emperor penguin at 50in, each speaker has a frankly ludicrous 500W of total amplification inside, with 90W going to the tweeter, 130W to the 6.5in mid driver, and 280W shared between the four 8in bass drivers (two on either side of each speaker). Never mind bothering the neighbours, there'll be flightless birds in Antarctica who'll be annoyed with you if you crank these right up. You can feed them (the speakers, not the penguins) wirelessly using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, and if you've got a hi-res source the ultra-wide band connection between them allows for playback at up to 96kHz/24-bit without needing to use a cable. Tether them together using ethernet and that jumps to studio-level 192kHz/24-bit. As we said at the start: no half measures. There's a companion app you can use to control music playback, but the Focal Diva Mezza Utopia also support various Wi-Fi standards, including AirPlay 2, Google Cast, and Spotify Connect. With so much sonic power on offer the speakers need a little taming, so you can also run sound tests via the app that will calibrate them to the acoustics of your room. If you'd rather hook up your kit the old-fashioned way you also get a good array of physical connections on the primary speaker too, including optical, RCA, HDMI eARC and USB. The Focal Diva Mezza Utopia aren't the kind of speakers you can just order on Amazon, so if you're interested in a pair you'll need to head to Focal's website to find a dealer near you. And don't forget to warn your credit card of what's to come.

How Donkey Kong went from arcade brawler to Banana royalty
Nintendo is home to some of the most iconic and beloved characters to have graced a games console, but its first ever mascot, Donkey Kong, is long overdue some proper respect. That may seem a tricky proposition when the gorilla was originally designed as oafish and dumb, but he's come a long way since debuting more than 40 years ago. He's gone from titular antagonist to beat at the arcade, to a playable platforming hero in his own right from the SNES onwards. And while he's had fewer headline outings than Mario, every time he's come back it's always with an inspired reinvention. With the release of Donkey Kong Bananza, the biggest exclusive for the Nintendo Switch 2 to date, it's a good time to look back at the key games that have defined and transformed this lovable ape over the years. Donkey Kong (1981) Looking back now, it's amazing to think 1891's Donkey Kong was originally meant to simply salvage thousands of unsold cabinets for failed Space Invaders clone Radar Scope. Nintendo then tried to license Popeye the sailor man to star in it. What we ended up with was a platformer all about climbing ladders and jumping over barrels, as you attempted to reach the top of a construction site to rescue Pauline from the great ape. The game was an enormous success, becoming the highest-grossing arcade game in the US that year, and was responsible for giving Nintendo its first major foothold in the West – long before the NES would make it a dominant force. Not bad for a game that marked the debut for a plucky young designer called Shigeru Miyamoto. It was of course also the game that introduced the world to Mario, although here the dungaree-wearing hero was simply known as Jumpman. Donkey Kong (1994) Besides home ports of the arcade original, the Donkey Kong franchise actually went dormant for a while after Donkey Kong 3 took things down the shooter route and replaced Mario with an 'exterminator' called Stanley. The Game Boy revival, better referred to as Donkey Kong '94, was more of a puzzle platformer, with over 100 levels for Mario to rescue Pauline from DK across. The gameplay would later inspire spiritual successor Mario vs Donkey Kong on the Game Boy Advance, which was eventually remastered for the original Nintendo Switch. It's also significant for being the game that gave Donkey Kong the signature red necktie sporting his initials, and redesigned Pauline as a long-haired brunette in a red dress. Donkey Kong Country (1994) A far more significant Donkey Kong revival arrived later that year, not from Nintendo but the British studio Rare. Donkey Kong Country reinvented the ape as a playable platforming protagonist who, with his nephew Diddy Kong, sets out to recover stolen bananas from the evil King and his Kremlings. A much trickier platformer than the contemporary Mario games, here you're relying on skill rather than power-ups. It's especially fiendish if you want to nab all the collectibles. What set it apart for many was its groundbreaking pre-rendered 3D models, keeping the ageing 16-bit SNES relevant as the real 3D gaming revolution was beginning elsewhere. David Wise's charming score is meanwhile as catchy and memorable as Koji Kondo's finest for Mario and Zelda. Donkey Kong 64 (1999) The Nintendo 64 was the de facto home of the 3D platformer, having gone stratospheric courtesy of the revolutionary Super Mario 64. It was only a matter of time as to when DK would make his proper 3D debut there. On paper, Donkey Kong 64 sounds like a winner: you get to play an ensemble of Kongs – DK, Diddy, Tiny, Lanky, and Chunky – with different abilities, and developer Rare had already proven its 3D chops with Banjo Kazooie. Unfortunately, while a hit at the time, DK64 is largely looked back on as a tedious slog of a collectathon. The whopping 3,831 total collectibles earned it an entry in the Guiness World Records. It's perhaps no surprise that subsequent DK games have opted to revert to side-scrolling platforming. But hey, at least it gave us the DK Rap. Donkey Kong Jungle Beat (2004) Jungle Beat is a niche GameCube release that sees you controlling DK with a pair of bongo drums, which were originally designed by Namco for its rhythm game spin-off Donkey Konga. But it's still an important part of DK's history. This was the first major game in the franchise to be developed by Nintendo in-house after Rare had been sold to Microsoft. It controversially ditched a lot of the elements from Donkey Kong Country (that series wouldn't be revived until 2010 by Retro Studios) including its characters and challenging platforming, though just getting your head around its quirky control system is already challenging enough. A curio for sure, but it's better remembered as the debut of the Nintendo division that would go onto make Super Mario Galaxy. Donkey Kong Bananza (2025) More than a quarter of a century later, DK has finally been given another 3D outing. And who better to right the wrongs of DK64 than the team behind Switch 1 masterpiece Super Mario Odyssey? Bananza is still a 3D platformer but it's less reliant on Country's twitch platforming and more on DK's brawn. You can literally smash up terrain to dig up secrets or carve your own path. There's still plenty to collect, in the form of Banandium Gems – think of them as edible crystal bananas that are much like Odyssey's Power Moons. What separates this from being a mere collectathon is the absolute delight of causing chaos as you explore each layer of this world in your journey towards the planet core. It's not just sheer monkey mayhem, either, as you can also transform into other animals with other powers, like a speedy zebra or a flying ostrich (I know, ostrich don't fly in real life, but let's not interrogate that too deeply). We've already seen the big guy's redesign both in the Super Mario Bros. movie and Mario Kart World, but it's in Bananza where you really appreciate just how expressive his silly face is. Bananza also pays tribute to the great ape's history, so there's not just cameos from the DKC family; it's also got a few secret side-scrolling sequences, Jungle Beat's ability collect to nearby items with a clap, and the DK Rap playing when you have a rest. The biggest reinvention though comes with Pauline, no longer a damsel but a pint-sized tween with a big singing voice that powers DK's transformations. The pair's relationship is surely a nod to Wreck-It Ralph and Vanellope, alongside a story with emotional and musical cues that wouldn't feel out of place in a Disney movie. This gorilla's never had a bigger outing and a bigger heart.

This dinky Bluetooth speaker could be the most affordable rugged option
As good as the best Bluetooth speakers are, I can't say that they always survive for very long. And while there are rugged options to pick from, they often cost a fair bit more. But Tribit's dinky new StormBox Mini Plus Bluetooth speaker promises to survive most things you could throw at it for less than $40/£40. The StormBox Mini Plus offers a fair bit of kick to this pint-sized package. You get 360-degree surround sound through a pair of 48mm full-range drivers and a passive radiator. The 12W output won't shake the walls, but for a speaker that weighs about the same as a pair of socks, it's more than enough. But if you do need more, pair up a second unit and you've got a stereo system. Plus, it's got AAC and SBC codec support – so iPhone and Android users both get decent sound quality. But the big selling factor here is that its properly waterproof. With an IPX7 rating, you could lob it in a paddling pool, fish it out later and it would still belt out your playlist like nothing happened. Plus, the rubber strap makes it super easy to clip this thing on the back of your bag and take it with you wherever you'd like. The LED lights built-in are either brilliant or completely unnecessary, depending on your tolerance for blinking colours. But they can pulse in time with your music, which gives the whole thing a festive twist – and you can switch them off if you've had enough. You get up to 12 hours of battery life, provided you don't go mad with the volume or the LEDs. That's more than enough for a full day of tunes before it needs a 2.5-hour charge via USB-C. With the latest Bluetooth 5.4 under the hood, pairing it with your phone or tablet is frictionless. The Tribit app gives you EQ presets and manual controls, which is rare in a Bluetooth speaker this cheap. There's even a 3.5mm AUX input and an integrated mic for shouting 'OK Google' at your speaker. Available to order now, the StormBox Mini Plus comes in black, blue or green. It'll set you back $39/£32/€37 and you can order it directly from the brand or from third-party retailers like Amazon. That's not bad at all for what might be the most affordable rugged speaker option knocking about right now.
