It’s possible that details about the Mario Kart World DLC have been accidentally revealed, suggesting that characters from Donkey Kong Bananza might join the Nintendo Switch 2 version of Mario Kart. This week, the new Donkey Kong game developed by the Super Mario Odyssey team is released on Nintendo Switch 2, and with a score of 90 on Metacritic, it’s clear that this exclusive for Nintendo Switch 2 is among the top games of 2025. Alongside Mario Kart World and until Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, this is one of the major exclusives for the Nintendo Switch 2. However, whether Nintendo will continue to support it with updates and DLC after launch remains uncertain, but it seems they might be using Mario Kart World as a platform to promote Donkey Kong Bananza. Be warned, there are minor spoilers ahead for Donkey Kong Bananza.
On Reddit, a user who owns the Nintendo Switch 2 has noticed an intriguing detail in the credits of Donkey Kong Bananza. To be more precise, this Reddit user has highlighted that the cast members of Void Kong and King K. Rool are also mentioned in the credits of Mario Kart Universe.
It’s plausible that these voice actors merely voice characters in Mario Kart World, but if they do, their roles have not been publicly revealed. They don’t appear to voice any major character, so any crossover seems to be with minor ones. Additionally, it’s possible they are credited due to their work on content scheduled for DLC.
Currently, it’s unclear if these assumptions are accurate or not, but some Nintendo Switch 2 users and Mario Kart enthusiasts interpret this as potential plans to introduce King K. Rool and Void Kong as downloadable content characters for Mario Kart World. This could very well be a possibility.
One Reddit user expresses optimism about the potential leak, hoping that Mario Kart World could serve as a connection point for the Mario and Donkey Kong series, similar to how Mario Super Sluggers did.
Currently, Nintendo hasn’t spoken up about this alleged leak or the surrounding rumors. Normally, they don’t address speculation, and based on past behavior, we don’t anticipate that trend changing. However, should they decide to comment, we’ll make sure to modify our story accordingly.
