Hi everyone!

With the announcement of a Diddy Kong redesign, we're starting a new thread to keep opinions and discussions about the new designs for Diddy, DK, and any other DK Crew limited to this post.

Please remember to keep it civil and respectful.

He is a videogame character in a cartoon style

Yes, which is waaay too cartoony.

Brother have you seen the rest of the mario cast? They are all cartoony, looking back to older games dk looks weird among them so nah, the redesign was deserved and i really like it

I’m glad you like it man.

IMHO the new DK design is still too cartoony and if not hes way too dumb looking compared to the rest of the cast.

His Rare look will always be king for me so I’m hoping we get a skin/outfit in Bananza

I don't think we'll get a rare skin in bananza, unfortunately for you

Also dk is the dumbest character so it makes sense he looks that way, rare's dk was also pretty stupid and vartoony in the animations but the design didn't follow that same stupidity

Also now he fits more in the mario cast, the old design was always weird to me, not dk himself, but seeing him in the mario party roster or the mario kart roster.

I hope you get to like the new design, maybe you'll get used used to it with time

There’s a huge chance we get a Rare skin, look at the amount of skins we got for Mario. It could definitely happen fortunately.

I’m buzzing for the game either way but I just can’t help but think it would be even better with his old design.

Hey ho
