A couple interesting bits:

  • Koizumi is the one who suggested this team do a DK game
  • They decline to specify information about DK's age, why Pauline is 13
  • DKB started out on Switch 1
  • Part of the inspiration for the gameplay was one dev just doing technical experiments with voxels

    DK's age, why Pauline is 13

    Why are people so obsessed with connecting this game to some weird timeline

    It's never made sense.

    Why is Mario still young when Cranky Kong, the original Donkey Kong, is old?

    Yup! Notice the text in top left of the DKC manual:

    Makes the DKC opening shot make more sense, doesn't it?

    Rare games aren’t Nintendo Cannon? (Idk just finding something new to argue about on the internet)

    Nintendo isn't consistent in their own games, so it doesn't matter either way. Mario and Luigi race with baby versions of themselves!

    Ah so the better theory then is eventually at some point time travel is invented in the Mario universe and is used in wildly inappropriate manners.

    “Bet I can beat infant you in a race” “You’re on!”

    I guess Partners in Time would be when the time travel was discovered! Conveniently explains child Pauline as well, I suppose. Well, the "how," but not the "why."

    Yeah we are never going to know why. Also why no shoes. Have they never been on the internet.

    It's interesting that both this and Mario Kart: World originally started as Switch 1 games, and only later they decided to move to Switch 2.
