Switch 2 Mario Kart has new Donkey Kong design

At long last, Nintendo has finally announced their next console. It is officially called the Nintendo Switch 2. The trailer confirmed all the leaks we’ve been seeing lately, and it also revealed a brand new Mario Kart game. There wasn’t a lot of footage of the game, but fans picked up an interesting tidbit about one of the game’s racers.

At one point in the Mario Kart footage, we can see Donkey Kong in the background. However, Donkey Kong doesn’t exactly look like the Donkey Kong we’re used to for many year. Fans have noticed that he seems to have the design he had from The Super Mario Bros. Movie. You can see a social media post relaying the news down below.

  1. god it’s SO CUTE, they all look adorable tbh, and i wouldn’t say he looks like the movie dk, it looks more like dk before country.
    …this is probably shiggie still hating on rare’s treatment with dk but i ain’t complaining i prefer this design a lot more lol

    1. The chubby and cute designs they gave the Mario bros. reminds me of their designs in Mario Kart Super Circuit. I always liked those designs

    1. The old, Rare design is cooler, but this new design is cuter. It really is just a matter of preference (I think they’re both nice, but I’ll miss the old design for sure)

    1. I may be in the minority, but I never liked Mario Kart 8’s art design. I like my Mario Kart cartoony, and that’s partly why I liked the DLC for 8 Deluxe.

      I’m glad that the new Mario Kart looks less “realistic” and more cartoony again

  2. Horrible decision. The previous design is FAR better, this looks like a terrible unfinished mock-up that should be stamped “REJECT”.

  3. I don’t mind if it’s a sign for more Donkey Kong games.

    I will be sad if it’s just a sign for upcoming Donkey Kong movies, etc

  4. It sounds like you’re hoping for multiple costume options in Shadow Fight 2! Just like in the game, where different armor and weapons can give you various advantages, having multiple costume options could add even more strategy and personalization.

  5. Just like Nintendo is refreshing its classics with bold new looks, CMSports Pakistan brings a fresh and dynamic edge to sportswear.
