I wonder if you’ll be able to use any of the main cast as well. Admittedly, as a Yoshi fan, I was a little upset with how late he arrives in the main game and how little you’re actually able to use him because of it (unless you saved all those challenges in the previous worlds, which, by that point, are a total cakewalk), and I was actually looking forward to properly getting to use Yoshi finally here but it seems that’s not going to be the case.
Don’t get me wrong, this DLC does look amazing, but for me personally, as somebody who isn’t even that big of a DK fan to begin with and feels like Yoshi got a little shunned in the main game, it is a little disappointing in that regard. I’m still gonna play and enjoy this DLC either way though.
