Donkey Kong Bananza leak throws a wrench in the Donkey Kong timeline
Briefly

The upcoming game "Donkey Kong Bananza," hinted at by leaks from Nintendo of Korea, suggests intriguing developments in the Donkey Kong timeline. Notably, the appearance of a younger version of Pauline alongside Donkey Kong raises questions about the game's chronological placement in relation to previous titles, including "Super Mario Odyssey". The leaked art indicates a childlike Pauline wearing a bracelet corresponding to a mysterious new element in the game, the Odd Rock. However, contradictions arise as the presence of an aged Cranky Kong complicates the timeline's interpretation.
The leaked artwork suggests a childlike version of Pauline, implying "Donkey Kong Bananza" may serve as a prequel to the original Donkey Kong series.
While the timeline is murky, if Pauline is indeed a child in Bananza, it unsettlingly conflicts with continuity established in earlier Donkey Kong games.
