Lego And Nintendo Tease New Donkey Kong Country Sets
A handful of Lego Donkey Kong characters were revealed in a short teaser trailer.
Lego shared a short clip on Twitter teasing new characters for the upcoming Donkey Kong sets. These sets will be part of the Lego Super Mario series, and will include a slew of newly announced Donkey Kong characters.
As part of the video, we get a look at Donkey Kong himself, along with the whole Kong family including Cranky Kong, Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, and Funky Kong. While the teaser trailer offered a look at the new characters, it didn't specify what else will come with each set. The video also features music from the Donkey Kong Country series.
"We can’t wait to show you the new additions to the world of Lego Super Mario!" reads the tweet from Lego.

The sets themselves, their release dates, and prices were not revealed, but Lego did confirm that there will be multiple sets. Previously, Lego confirmed that a Donkey Kong set was coming this summer, but it's unknown when exactly it--along with the other newly announced sets--will release.
On Mario Day this year, Lego also revealed that a new Dry Bowser castle expansion set will launch later on August 1 and will cost $110. This and the newly announced Donkey Kong sets join the lengthy list of Lego Super Mario sets that allow fans to relive their favorite moments from the Mushroom Kingdom.
