Mario Kart World Fans Speculate on Possible New DLC Racers

Beware: Donkey Kong Bananza spoiler vibes ahead.

You ever get that feeling that something’s up in your favorite game, but no one’s confirming anything? That’s kinda the scene in Mario Kart World right now. So, there’s this buzz among players about Void Kong and King K. Rool maybe hitting the tracks. Official word? Nada. But, sharp-eyed fans? They’ve been poking around in the credits, seeing some hints—or maybe just wishful thinking. Who knows, right?

This Mario Kart already dropped with a hefty gang. We’re talking 50 racers, and yeah sure, that’s cool. But isn’t there always someone missing? The crowd’s always hoping for some familiar faces from elsewhere in Nintendo land to come along for the ride. Silence from Nintendo on new tracks or DLCs, though, so any small clue gets folks kinda hyped.

So, check it out—some deep-dive stuff on Reddit. User prpro-03 (props to them) thinks they’ve cracked a code. Apparently, the voice actors for King K. Rool and Void Kong, Yuu Hayashi and Tsuguo Mogami, are name-dropped in the Mario Kart World credits. Sound like a hint? Maybe. Could be they’re gearing up for a surprise drop either as a freebie or something folks gotta pay for. Either way, I kinda wanna know.

Pondering the Mario Kart World Character Rumors

So are we getting these two legends in the game? Well, maybe. But then again, maybe not. Donkey Kong Bananza credits gave them props, but in Mario Kart? Not so much. They’re listed alright, but no character ties. Just voices in the background? Possible. I mean, who really checks who’s in the crowd, right?

Yuu Hayashi, kinda new to Nintendo stuff, clearly making his debut. Meanwhile, Tsuguo Mogami’s been around, playing all sorts—remember him as Spewart in Super Mario Odyssey? And heck, even messing with us as Demise in The Legend of Zelda. So, they’ve got range, I’ll give ’em that.

Nintendo hasn’t piped up yet about more racers, gotta say. But thinking about how Mario Kart 8 Deluxe tossed in characters from other games, wouldn’t it be a surprise if they pull the same trick? Seems like that could be in the cards. I mean, the game’s doing well, right? Why fix what ain’t broken?

Anyway, let’s wait and see. Maybe these tidbits are nothing. Or maybe… just maybe… they’re onto something big. Can’t tell yet. But I gotta say, the idea of seeing Kong and K. Rool zooming past is making me pretty darn curious.
