But he looks nothing like in that movie.  blamite Member Oct 27, 2017 2,300 Hard to make everything out at that size but there's actually a bunch of subtle changes; teeth, something different on his hat, right star on his shirt isn't filled in, different feet, his ears looks slightly different and a bit more separated from his mouth area, I think his eyes are very slightly more separated?   sir_crocodile Member Oct 25, 2017 24,587   Banjo_ Member Mar 16, 2025 66 the teeth are kinda creepy switch 2 pre order cancelled  Greywaren Member Jul 16, 2019 13,030 Spain He still looks pretty much the same, he just got dentures and a new hat.   Kaitos Tens across the board!

Cap's off.Diddy Kong has been strangely missing in action from much of Nintendo's marketing, particularly around the Switch 2. At least he was there when Donkey Kong Country Returns HD came out in January...?Anyway, the big question on everyone's lips when Donkey Kong was shown off in Mario Kart World back in January, sporting a brand new design was: will Diddy Kong meet the same fate?Read the full article on nintendolife.com
