He appears in the race course [[DK Spaceport]], tossing [[barrel]]s down [[slope]]s.<ref name=Treehouse>{{cite|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWjkbAQOGY8|title=Mario Kart World — Grand Prix Gameplay — Nintendo Treehouse: Live {{!}} Nintendo Switch 2|author=Nintendo of America|publisher=YouTube|date=April 3, 2025|accessdate=April 6, 2025}}</ref> Robo DK has blue and white armor, and his eyes are a digital display with two yellow dots. Vertical yellow tiles appear below the "nose" to form a "mouth" making him appear to be smiling.

Robo DK is first seen after the [[Glide Ramp]] that leads to the girder section of the course. When approached, he jumps away to climb to the top of the structure. As drivers ascend the structure as well, Robo DK tosses barrels down the track that must be avoided. Once Robo DK is encountered at the top, much like the previous layers, drivers must avoid the barrels he tosses to drive between his legs, which leads to the [[finish line (object)|finish line]] behind him.<ref name=Treehouse/> Robo DK tossing barrels at the player is a reference to Donkey Kong in his [[Donkey Kong (game)|titular arcade game]].
