Donkey Kong Bananza's mysterious "Odd Rock" companion isn't actually a rock at all, Nintendo has now confirmed, as DK will actually be accompanied by a young Pauline in the Switch 2 adventure.
Some leaked official art for Bananza previously pictured Donkey Kong alongside a young brunette girl, who many pointed out looked an awful lot like Pauline, who'd been pulled back into the spotlight since Super Mario Odyssey. Now, thanks to today's Donkey Kong Bananza Direct, Pauline's involvement is finally confirmed, as it turns out she and DK are on an adventure together, with Pauline wanting to escape the underground of Ingot Isle and get back to her home on the surface.
