USJ describes the brand new space as “the green jungle where Donkey Kong and his friends live,” and the ape is proven sporting a tie within the promotional picture. Since Donkey Kong didn’t purchase mates or formal apparel till “Donkey Kong Country,” it appears to be like like the fashionable model of the character is the place the main focus can be for the Super Nintendo World enlargement, so odds are Diddy, Dixie, and different simian supporting solid members can be ready to greet company as effectively.
USJ is promising an array of latest Donkey Kong-themed meals, drink, and merch, so we are able to most likely anticipate loads of banana-based desserts and barrel plushies on supply.
