Last game before new design?[edit]
Is this considered the "final" game to feature Rare-inspired designs before the new designs being introduced in Mario Kart World or Donkey Kong Bananza? I think the new design is exclusive to post-Nintendo Switch 2 titles, and it's likely that they'll reuse Rare-inspired designs in Nintendo Switch 1 titles along with DK voice clips by Takashi Nagasako.

- It's pretty unlikely there will be more Donkey Kong games on Switch 1. Hewer (talk · contributions · edit count) 11:08, February 19, 2026 (UTC)
- Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong have been appearing regularly in Mario spinoffs. They appear more in Mario spinoffs than in their own DK series. Windy (talk) 11:22, February 19, 2026 (UTC)
- Again, pretty unlikely there'll be more Mario spin-offs of that nature on Switch 1. Either way though, we'll see. Hewer (talk · contributions · edit count) 11:26, February 19, 2026 (UTC)
- Remember, Mario Sports and such are one game per platform. Windy (talk) 11:28, February 19, 2026 (UTC)

- Since there was one game per platform, I'm watching to see if a baseball game comes out for Switch 1 in the future. Windy (talk) 11:53, February 19, 2026 (UTC)
- Well it's been almost 18 years since the last Mario Baseball game, they've never really had the same consistency as Mario Tennis or even Golf. We didn't get one on Wii U either. Hewer (talk · contributions · edit count) 12:10, February 19, 2026 (UTC)
