Nintendo Korea site leaks big Donkey Kong Bananza detail

A new detail about Donkey Kong Bananza has been leaked by the official Nintendo Switch 2 website in Korea. We’ll be sharing this information after the break, so keep that in mind before proceeding.

Fans have spotted an updated version of the game’s key art. The image gives us a look at a character who very much seems to look like Pauline, but she’s quite a bit younger. Is that Pauline herself, her daughter, or someone else entirely? Since she is on the key art, we imagine the character plays a big role in the game – or at least the story. Some are even speculating that she could be the Odd Rock.

Here’s a look:

Fans have also noticed that the Pauline-esque character has a purple bracelet and is crystalline similar to the Odd Rock. What that means is currently unclear.

Donkey Kong Bananza should feature other classic characters as well. For example, Cranky Kong has been seen in the demo version.

Thanks to Nintendo Korea and Resetera for the news above. Donkey Kong Bananza will be out for Nintendo Switch 2 on July 17, 2025. More details about the game can be found here.
