Just days before the park’s official opening, Japan’s Super Nintendo World was discovered to contain a locked Donkey Kong door, hinting at a future park expansion.

VGC reports that the mysterious door is located and “hidden” in the north of the park, with “a very DK-like design,” as shown in the image below. Neither Nintendo nor Universal have officially recognized this door yet, but there’s plenty of reason to believe that new Donkey Kong elements are already being planned for the park.

Here's the door in question. It's suspicious, isn't it?

Late last year, dataminers discovered Donkey Kong stickers in the park’s mobile app, suggesting there are activities to see and do with Nintendo’s beloved Kong character family.

And rumors of DK’s involvement in the park have been around since 2019, when leaked concept models revealed a Super Mario area and Donkey Kong area. The Super Mario concept work is almost identical to the real deal we see in the park today, so it’s not exactly a challenge to assume that the DK model was also legit.

Even if COVID didn’t ruin our travel plans, maybe delaying a visit is the best course of action? Two areas in one sounds pretty good to us.
