Shigeru Miyamoto – the creator of various Nintendo franchises like Mario and The Legend of Zelda – says that the company’s characters are meant to “only exist within the IPs they are a part of”. However, Pikmin appears to be an exception to that rule.
Miyamoto said in an interview with IGN:

Shigeru Miyamoto, the original creator of Donkey Kong, has spoken about the decision to change Donkey Kong’s design.
DK will look quite a bit different when he stars in his upcoming game Donkey Kong Bananza. There’s been a lot of talk about the design, starting with when we got our first look at the character in the Nintendo Switch 2 announcement that gave a brief glimpse of Mario Kart World. But things actually go further back than that – Donkey Kong’s design was different in The Super Mario Bros. Movie as well.
