Donkey Kong & Pauline Amiibo

Donkey Kong & Pauline is the paired figure of DK and Pauline released July 2025 alongside Donkey Kong Bananza, the first major Donkey Kong-led platformer since Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze in 2014. Bananza was DK's Switch 2 launch-window project, and the figure was Nintendo's commemorative pairing of the game's two protagonists.

The pose is DK and Pauline standing on a shared base in their Bananza-era character art. DK is ready to punch something, the core mechanic of the game.

Three things stack: it's the launch-window amiibo for the first major DK platformer in over a decade; it's one of the few paired-character figures in the entire amiibo line (alongside Wolf Link & Midna, Banjo & Kazooie, Rosalina & Luma); and it commemorates Pauline's franchise-revival arc. She went from 1981 arcade-game captive to Mayor of New Donk City in Odyssey to playable Bananza co-lead, over a thirty-plus year span.
