Donkey Kong is an infamous character from the infamous Super Mario franchise and has an autonomous franchise of its own.

In the new Mario Kart game revealed during the Switch 2’s first trailer, players noticed a number of details, including some character redesigns.

One notable change that we (and indeed, many of you) caught was the design for Donkey Kong. We knew that Nintendo had sought to recapture the character's more 'retro' look from the days of the NES in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, but it seems as though this decision may well be spreading to the world of gaming, too.
