Trivia
- Prior to their acquisition of the rights to adapt Mario, Donkey Kong had been mentioned in two Illumination films. In their adaption of The Lorax, the Once-Ler mentions Donkey Kong at some point while talking with Ted. During the final battle with Balthazaar Bratt in Despicable Me 3, Bratt says, "It's on like Donkey Kong!" after being challenged to a dance fight by Gru.
