==Cast and characters==
* as Donkey Kong:A powerful anthropomorphic gorilla and the protector of Kongo Island, who lives a carefree lifestyle with his Kong family. DK is described as a brave and friendly hero, who cares for his friends and can become enraged if his friends or banana hoard are threatened. In the SCU, it's confirmed that the "Donkey Kong" name is a title, and as such, this character's legal name is "Donkey Kong III". Actors such as Dwayne Johnson, Andy Serkis, Terry Crews and John Cena were considered, but most of them were too expensive to be attached to the series. Rogen is one of the few actors who plays the same role in the 2023 Mario film.
* as Diddy Kong:A smaller, nimble anthropomorphic spider monkey and acts as Donkey Kong's sidekick and best friend. Diddy is described as a friendly and adventurous character, who can also be a peace seeker sometimes to offset Donkey Kong's aggressive behaviour. Showrunner ShadicMCGS wanted to find a youthful actor who can capture the excitement that Diddy has, and could also potentially do motion capture in future live-action projects. Kevin Hart was considered for the role, before it was decided the character needed a younger actor.
* as Cranky Kong:A thin and diminutive member of the Kong species, who is described as curmudgeonly and bitter, always making sarcastic remarks about various things including his Kong family. As stated before, the "Donkey Kong" name is a title and is passed onto his grandson, Donkey Kong III. Other actors like Brian Doyle-Murray and Colin Mochrie were also mentioned to be negotiated for the role, but concerns about their age and willingness to do future projects. Armisen is one of the few actors who plays the same role in the 2023 Mario film.
*TBA as King K. Rool:???
