New Donker

New Donkers are human characters found primarily in the New Donk City region of the Metro Kingdom in Super Mario Odyssey. In comparison to most humans in the Mario franchise, they are fairly realistically-designed. Like how New Donk City is a reference to the real life location, they are named after the residents of the state, New Yorkers. Most of the New Donkers, both male and female, wear gray business suits or dresses. Unlike the more cartoonish human characters of Mario, Peach and Pauline, the New Donkers' voice clips consist of gibberish that sounds like American English. The male New Donkers also wear ties, gray fedoras, and shiny black shoes while the female New Donkers wear grey sunhats. The only New Donkers who do not wear gray attire are the members of Pauline's band, who all wear red attire and black fedoras with a white band around it, and the Crazy Cap employees. A few of them will also give Mario some Power Moons, such as a lonely New Donker found sitting on a bench. A single New Donker can also be found travelling in his taxi throughout the kingdoms with the Desert Wanderer, and in the Moon Kingdom, several others along with their mayor Pauline can be found in attendance at the wedding between Bowser and Peach. Like other attending members, they were brought forcefully. A few New Donkers are also seen in Bowser's Kingdom near, and even operating, the Crazy Cap store.

Trivia

 * Some New Donkers that can be seen from a far distance disappear when Mario gets close to them. One example appears at the far corner of the park, and appears to be attempting to jump towards the lonely rooftop repeatedly.
