- Donkey Kong wears clothes in Bananza Because Nintendo was “aware” of how it would look “from behind”
- Donkey Kong went through a redesign because his brown fur “would be a monotonous visual”
- The producer Kenta Motokura said that the character’s fur also improved
Nintendo has explained why Donkey Kong wears clothes on the last exclusive switch 2 Kong Bananza donkey.
During the time that Donkey Kong has existed, he has generally been fully bare (if a monkey can be naked), but in the last installment, the Star APE underwent an image change, both in the design of the characters and in the costumes.
According to Nintendo, the team thought about giving Donkey Kong some clothes this time because he was aware of how he would look from the players.
“When controlling a character in a 3D world, the player often sees them from behind, so we were also aware of how Donkey Kong would look like while moving,” said producer Kenta Motokura in a recent developer questions and answers.
“The posterior view of Kong’s donkey looks like a mass of brown skin, which would be a monotonous visual if we simply did it in 3D.”
Motokura also said that the development team was inspired to make creative adjustments to Donkey Kong’s outfit and decided to give it an elegant tie, pants and braces.
The character of the character was also improved to “seem rich and thick”, and its original design, created by Shigeru Miyamoto, has been renewed for the new game and even Mario de Mario Kart.
“That basic donkey design of Kong has been completely renew Kong Bananza donkey Here and there, “he explained.
In the Techradar Gaming review, the hardware writer Dashiell Wood called Kong Bananza donkey “The best Nintendo Switch 2 title to date, delivering an incredible destruction system that shows the power of the new system.”
