Donkey Kong Bananza has confirmed the identity of the big ape's new voice actor after Mario Kart World didn't feature Takashi Nagasako in the credits.

Donkey Kong Bananza is now officially out in the wild, and the new voices for DK and Pauline have been officially confirmed. According to the credits (via IGN), Kouji Takeda is Donkey Kong, and the new voice for Pauline is Jenny Kidd.

Donkey Kong Bananza producer Kenta Motokura recently explained, in the newest Ask the Developer blog, that the team at Nintendo "were also conscious of how Donkey Kong would look from the back while he's moving" since players tend to stare at a character's backside a lot in third-person games.

Banandium Gems are golden bananas scattered around the layers in Donkey Kong Bananza. You’ll find dozens of these collectibles in the Lagoon Layer.

The best songs from Donkey Kong Country. No, not that one. After years of Donkey Kong hype starvation, it feels like, Nintendo’s biggest and burliest boy is back in the spotlight. With Donkey Kong Bananza showing up as the first post-launch Nintendo Switch 2 game, the people out there are finally giving DK his due.

The right path leads to a Void Stake that opens up the path to the Forest Layer, where you can unlock the Ostrich Bananza and help clean up some poison water.
