Donkey Kong has been going through a bit of a transitional period recently, thanks to a new design change for the upcoming Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza games. Instead of his usual design, he's been updated to look a lot more like his design in the Super Mario Bros. movie, as Nintendo probably wants its characters to look similar across all media.
Ever since its reveal, Nintendo has gone about scrubbing away Donkey Kong's previous design wherever it can, including on the current Nintendo Switch system. A lot of people found it a little concerning, and worries were immediately heightened after we all realized that we hadn't seen Diddy Kong since the reveal of his brother's new design. If his brother got a face-lift, surely that means Diddy Kong is getting one too, right?
Well, Nintendo has finally revealed Diddy Kong's new design, and it's good news for all you purists out there. In a news post sent to Switch owners (thanks Nintendo Everything), Nintendo finally revealed Diddy Kong's new design, and he remains largely unchanged from the design we're now used to.
We don't know who is making Donkey Kong Bananza, but all signs point to...
