Some familiar characters are making an appearance:

Rambi the Rhino

When Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong ride on Rambi, he will use Rambi’s charge to defeat enemies. Rambi is also capable of running very quickly.

Engaurde the Swordfish

A swordfish who is only found in underwater stages. He is a great swimmer and will improve the player’s swimming ability when he is ridden. He can also stab enemies with his pointy nose.

Gameplay:

From IGN: “You shake the two devices [the Wii Remote and the Analog Peripheral] in turn to accelerate, shaking just one to veer in a particular direction. To jump, you raise the Wiimote and nunchuck together. You can also punch enemies and obstacles and throw barrels; we presume developer Paon has thought up some clever control options for these moves.”

Coming out in Japan in June, other regions sometime after…
