Mario Kart World May Receive DLC from Donkey Kong Bananza

Possible Crossover Hints in Donkey Kong Banana Blast and Mario Kart World Through Shared Voice Actors

Nintendo’s first major launch for the Switch 2 was Mario Kart World, a vibrant racing game that brought color and speed to the new console’s store shelves. Fans are already anticipating future content updates for the game. However, it was not until the release of Donkey Kong Banana Blast on July 17 that speculation about new Mario Kart World content intensified. The credits for Donkey Kong Banana Blast hinted at an unexpected connection to a different racing game—one not part of the Donkey Kong series. A fan subsequently discovered a specific link between the two titles. This intriguing connection revolves around the voice actors involved in both Donkey Kong Banana Blast and Mario Kart World. In Donkey Kong Banana Blast, Yuu Hayashi is credited as the voice actor for Void Kong, while Tsuguo Mogami voices a character whose name remains unrevealed to avoid spoilers. Both Yuu Hayashi and Tsuguo Mogami are also listed in the Mario Kart World cast, but the credits do not name their specific character roles. This differs from Donkey Kong Banana Blast, where character names are included with their voice actors.

This unusual practice has led fans to speculate that Void Kong and the unnamed character from Donkey Kong Banana Blast might appear in future Mario Kart World content.
