Nintendo has confirmed in a recent interview series that the design for Donkey Kong in the upcoming Donkey Kong Bananza inspired Donkey Kong’s design in both the Super Mario Bros. Movie and the excellent Mario Kart World. The news was shared today by Kenta Motokura in the Ask the Developer series of interviews.
“That’s correct. Donkey Kong Bananza sparked the creation of a design which I think better conveys the new Donkey Kong.”
