Nintendo confirms Donkey Kong Bananza shares team with the best 3D Mario game
Our suspicions were correct – the team behind Donkey Kong Bananza is, in fact, the same as the development team that created one of the best Mario games of all time. It also may explain why we haven’t seen a sequel to said game.
The team is the same as none other than Super Mario Odyssey, the incredibly good Nintendo Switch launch title featuring Mario going to the city, the desert, and much more in a unique adventure. We’re yet to find out who the director of the game is, as it isn’t confirmed to be the same as Super Mario Odyssey, Kenta Motokura, though it could be if the rest of the team is involved.
We all expected a sequel to the best Mario game ever to come to the Switch 2, but with the confirmation of the team working on Bananza, it might explain why there hasn’t been a second game just yet. It also gets our lore senses tingling as a young Pauline is present in Bananza, whereas her grown-up self is in Odyssey. Is it a canonical timeline? Just what does it mean?!
