Nintendo's recent reveal of the Nintendo Switch 2 and Mario Kart 9 has sparked excitement, but one character's redesign has captured particular attention: Donkey Kong. While most characters in the Mario Kart 9 trailer looked familiar, Donkey Kong's appearance is noticeably different, seemingly drawing inspiration from his design 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 Super Mario Bros. Movie introduced a refreshed look, and Nintendo appears to be integrating this updated design into its games.
Although the Mario Kart 9 trailer offered only fleeting glimpses of Donkey Kong, the differences are already apparent. A more detailed comparison will be possible later, perhaps during April's Nintendo Switch 2 Nintendo Direct. This event, while focusing primarily on the console's appearance, hinted at backward compatibility, a new Joy-Con button, and confirmed the theory of using the controller as a mouse.
While a 2025 release window was announced, the Nintendo Switch 2 is unlikely to launch before June, given the numerous hands-on events planned worldwide, with registration opening shortly.
