Looks like it's based on the classic DK instead of DKC

Looks based off the movie version. Maybe there's the game version and the movie version?

I like it. It looks more like a 3D version of Miyamoto's old DK drawings

I don't mind it; I like DKC DK as well, but this was his original design. As seen in Mario vs DK earlier this year; it's not like they are full-on erasing Rare DK as they could have used the opportunity to make that classic DK as well.

I always like the little things they do in each MK to make it visually distinct. Bowser also has a pretty different look, a little more rounder it seems. Only complaint on DK is the fur seems like it's plastic right now, but that might just be low-quality screenshots.

This is what I thought, too. The characters in general look a bit more cartoony.

Yeah; what I noticed on Bowser in my post above. It's funny, though, because Wonder Bowser looked out-of-place since they didn't modify his design at all, haha.

Skins would be really cool. Apparently there may be up to 24 racers in a race. So could help differentiate characters depending on the roster size.

It could also lead to battle passes. I kinda hope Nintendo stays in their own world and doesn't start trend chasing

But I kind of like this Derpy Kong look? Its like DK Jr. actually grew up.

yaknow, that made me imagine an older Donkey Kong, not really Cranky levels, but a few wrinkles and a grey streak from his head peak to his butt

It's literally the game that put Nintendo on the map for video games. And many of the games later on are also beloved. Yes, people like Donkey Kong.
