Donkey Kong Bananza cast spoilers follow.
Mario Kart Worldplayers think they’ve found evidence of two new racers who could be joining the game: Void Kong and King K. Rool. While not confirmed by official channels, the fandom has pointed to evidence inMario Kart World’s credits that could mean more racers will join the game in the future.
The latestMario Karthas already launched with a substantial roster of characters to play as, with 50 totalracers inMario Kart World. Even so, there are some classic Nintendo faces that players wish had made the cut, including those from outside directMarioproperties. Nintendo has been quiet about DLC for the newestMario Kartgame, so fans are excited to see a potential lead within the title itself.
On Reddit, user prpro-03 has shared their discovery that the voice actors who most recently portrayedKing K. Rooland Void Kong are also listed in the credits forMario Kart World. Yuu Hayashi, who portrayed Void Kong, and Tsuguo Mogami, who performed as King K. Rool inDonkey Kong Bananza,are both included in the list of voice actors inMario Kart World, as well. With the credits already giving nods to the two actors, players have begun to suspect that these two characters may be added toMario Kart Worldsomewhere down the line, either as a free update or through paid DLC.
Mario Kart World DLC Characters Theory Examined
While it’s entirely possible that these two characters will be made playable inMario Kart Worldin the future, there are some factors to take into consideration. Unlike inDonkey Kong Bananza, where they were credited with their roles, no characters are attached to individual actors in theMario Kart Worldcredits. So while the two actors are involved, that doesn’t necessarily mean that they lent their talents to the same two characters inMario Kart World. It’s possible that they were instead cast as background characters, or essentially additional crowd voices.
Both Yuu Hayashi and Tsuguo Mogami have other video game credits to their name, but according to Hayashi’s list of credits, he had never appeared in a Nintendo game prior toMario Kart WorldandDonkey Kong Bananza. Mogami, on the other hand, does have a history with the company, previously portraying characters like Spewart inSuper Mario Odyssey, Pigma Dengar in multipleStar Foxgames, and most notably,Demise inThe Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.
At the moment, there’s no confirmation from Nintendo onadding more racers toMario Kart World. However, given the success of the game so far andMario Kart 8 Deluxe’s inclusion of non-Mariocharacters, it seems likely that more familiar Nintendo faces will join the roster eventually.
