Nintendo's recent unveiling of the Nintendo Switch 2 and Mario Kart 9 has sparked excitement, but one character's makeover has caught the eye of fans. Donkey Kong's new design in Mario Kart 9 bears a striking resemblance to his appearance in The Super Mario Bros. Movie.
For years, Donkey Kong's design remained consistent across various titles, including Mario Kart 8, Mario Tennis, and Donkey Kong Country Returns. However, the film's successful reimagining of the character seems to have influenced Nintendo's latest iteration.
The brief glimpse of Donkey Kong in the Mario Kart 9 trailer reveals a noticeably different design. A more detailed comparison will be possible once higher-resolution images are available, perhaps during the anticipated April Nintendo Direct showcasing the Nintendo Switch 2. This Direct is expected to offer more substantial details about the console's features, including the new Joy-Con button and controller functionality.
While a 2025 release window has been announced, the Nintendo Switch 2's launch is more likely to occur in June or later, given the upcoming worldwide hands-on events.
