Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong have had done a lot of different things over the years and now they've become qualified doctors. As bananas as this might sound, it's completely normal within the context of the Nintendo mobile game, Dr. Mario World.
Following on from the Mario babies not long ago, it only seems fair to give these two a chance. You'll be able to play as DK or Diddy from today onwards within the game. Here are some words about each one from the Dr. Mario World Twitter account:
It seems that new doctors will be making their appearance at 3 AM on Oct. 31 PT. Ah, I see that Dr. Donkey Kong is arriving this time around! It's a wonder that he can hear a thing through such a rustic stethoscope.
The other doctor making his debut at 3 AM on Oct. 31 PT is Dr. Diddy Kong! He's really rocking that wooden head mirror. But what's a doctor need a head mirror for? I think it's probably just to make him look official!
This new update also includes a number of assistant characters from the Super Mario series: Boo, Scuttlebug, Goombrat, and Wiggler. You can now play the stages 321 through to 340 of World 9 Area 1 as well. To get a better idea of all the new content in the game, check out the trailer below.
Tell us if you'll be visiting these new doctors in the comments below.

I am not going to that clinic.
Dr D.K: OOoo ooo HA. OO Oo oO!! AH!
Me: Look doctor. I don't speak F@#KING MONKEY! (Doctor D.K proceeds to beat and rips my limbs off)
He has a tie, of course he is a professional
If babies and monkeys are qualified doctors in the Mushroom Kingdom, then the life expectancy there must be insultingly low.
@BoyfriendOfDeath except you’ll find that Donkey Kong canonically speaks English
@TheAwesomeBowser or, thanks to the restorative powers of mushrooms and super stars, the actual need for fully qualified medical practitioners is relatively low.
In other news, gah! World 8 has been a real pain to get through, the last thing I need is more levels right now...
@stiligFox Wait really? Which game confirmed that?
@BoyfriendOfDeath Donkey Kong Country 3 and the Donkey Kong Country 2 & 3 on GBA (haven't played the first on GBA so I'm not sure) the monkeys speak and exchange dialogue with the Kremlin's.
That is a lot of Ds.
Dr. Donkey Kong are words I never thought I'd see.
I went to see them for a routine checkup and now my coconut gun only fires in spurts
@ummyeahnintendo the entire rap is now stuck in my head. Not a productive time at the office, thank you much.
@BoyfriendOfDeath in the Donkey Kong Country GBA remakes Donkey Kong and everyone else has lines that speak in the early intros.
In DKC 3 on the SNES, Dixie and Kiddy speak, and I know at least Diddy says something after getting released from KAOS - and I think Donkey might too. And of course with Cranky and Wrinkly being Donkey’s grandparents, I imagine being able to speak is a bit of a given if you don’t want to count the GBA remakes
