==Profile==
===Physical description===
Don-chan is a living Taiko (太鼓), a type of Japanese drum sort of reminiscent to a conga. He has a light blue cylindrical body with a black beam running across the middle. A white design is printed on the side of his base, and his bottom is also colored white. Nearing Don-chan's face, the blueish tint gets a little darker. Don-chan's face is on where the batter head of a drum would normally be, with a white trim going around the reddish-orange cover. Don-chan has two gazing, black eyes and usually has a happy smile on his face. Arms and legs extend from the edges of the racer/drum, each ending in a light ball for hands and feet. A white cord is tied onto Don-chan's back, making him somewhat resemble a keychain.
Since 2004, Don-chan has been voiced by Miki Narahashi (楢橋 美紀), a Japanese professional voice actress.
===Powers and abilities===
In terms of size, Don-chan is the smallest character in any installment, even more than Toad. Don-chan's short stature makes his Speed meager, but Acceleration and Handling greatly benefit from it.
==In Mario Kart Arcade GP DX==
Don-chan is a default character, playable from the start. He has two other usable forms, Strawberry Don-chan and Hero Don-chan.
==In ==
Don-chan is one of the characters in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate whom Pac-Man can randomly summon during his Namco Roulette taunt.
