Donkey Kong Bananza has seemingly confirmed the demise of many beloved characters in the Donkey Kong Country series thanks to the in-game fossils.

But now that players have their hands on it, there's another huge implication for the lore, that being that some of Donkey Kong's greatest allies are dead.
