Donkey Kong and Princess Peach voice actors replaced in Mario Kart World


Mario Kart World is out now and some players have noticed that the voice actors for Donkey Kong and Princess Peach have changed for the first time in many years. Takashi Nagasako had voiced Donkey Kong since 2004 and Samantha Kelly had voiced Princess Peach, Toad and Toadette since 2007. Kelly posted on Instagram to say that she was only contacted a few days ago by Nintendo who informed her that they were letting her go. Both names are missing from the ending credits and it’s not clear who their replacements are though it’s thought that Koji Takeda, voices DK.
