In comparison to most humans in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]], they are fairly realistically designed. Like how New Donk City is a reference to the real-life location {{wp|New York City}}, they are named after the residents of the city (or {{wp|New York|the state}}), New Yorkers. The New Donkers' voice clips consist of gibberish that sounds like American English. Both light-skinned and dark-skinned New Donkers appear in ''Super Mario Odyssey''. | ||
Most of the New Donkers, both male and female, wear gray business suits and have a [[Donkey Kong (game)#Development|1930s–1940s look]]. The male New Donkers also wear ties, gray fedoras, and shiny black shoes, while the female New Donkers wear gray sunhats, skirts, and shiny silver-gray heels and have a stylized shoulder-length hairstyle. The only New Donkers who do not wear gray attire are the members of [[Pauline]]'s [[band (Super Mario Odyssey)|band]], who all wear red attire and black fedoras with white bands around them, and the [[Crazy Cap]] employees, who wear purple and yellow outfits. Most New Donkers are always seen wearing hats, but there are two who do not, both of whom can be [[capture]]d by [[Mario]] to control an [[RC Car]]. | Most of the New Donkers, both male and female, wear gray business suits and have a [[Donkey Kong (game)#Development|1930s–1940s look]].

*Some New Donkers that can be seen from a far distance disappear when [[Mario]] gets close to them. One example appears at the far corner of the park, and appears to be attempting to jump towards the lonely rooftop repeatedly. Several others can be seen walking across the central plaza in front of the City Hall, particularly when the player looks through the [[binoculars]]; these ones in particular seem to simply be animated textures, as they appear only from that angle, and can be seen going through posts and the bumps in the ground if examined carefully. All of the New Donkers that fade upon being approached seem to lack shadows as well. | *Some New Donkers that can be seen from a far distance disappear when [[Mario]] gets close to them.

*As seen by concept art in ''[[The Art of Super Mario Odyssey]]'', New Donkers were originally going to have proportions more similar to Mario.<ref>{{file link|TASMO pages 174 175.jpg|''The Art of Super Mario Odyssey'', pages 174 and 175}}</ref> | *As seen by concept art in ''[[The Art of Super Mario Odyssey]]'', New Donkers were originally going to have proportions more similar to Mario.<ref>{{file link|TASMO pages 174 175.jpg|''The Art of Super Mario Odyssey'', pages 174 and 175}}</ref> | ||
