LEGO has posted a teaser of the LEGO Super Mario MAR10 Day reveal on their Instagram and it looks like we may be getting a brand new character to the theme. The end of the story shows a silhouette of something and to me, it looks like the Donkey Kong’s head. You can kind of see the top of his hair and the round things under it look to be his eyes.

If you didn’t know, Donkey Kong was the one of the main characters in the 1981 game along with Mario so they did have something to do with each other.
