Prepare for a groundbreaking 3D platforming adventure with Donkey Kong Bananza, the "killer app" designed exclusively for the Nintendo Switch 2. Developed by the award-winning team behind Super Mario Odyssey, this title reinvents the franchise with a "Hollow Earth" subterranean journey that pushes the technical boundaries of Nintendo's latest hardware.

A Destructible Underground Sandbox

Dive beneath Ingot Isle into a vibrant world of layered biomes, from sunlit grasslands to frozen "freezer drawer" tundras. For the first time, experience fully destructible environments where DK can smash, rip, and carve through nearly any surface to uncover hidden paths or collect rare Banandium Gems.

• Dynamic Destruction: Use DK's immense power to tear chunks of terrain from walls to use as weapons or makeshift snowboards.

• Transformative Power-Ups: Learn five unique animal transformations, including a Gorilla for raw strength, a Zebra for speed, and an Ostrich for gliding and dropping egg bombs.

• The Return of Pauline: Team up with the iconic Pauline, who ventures underground to reclaim the legendary Banandium Root.

• Creative Co-op: A second player can control Pauline, using the Joy-Con 2’s mouse functionality to blast enemies with solid "voice" projectiles.

• Infinite Discovery: Use a sonar-like clap to detect collectibles buried deep within the earth, encouraging limitless exploration in every level.

Why It’s a Must-Play

"Bananza isn't just a return; it's a reinvention—one of the most imaginative, playful, and technically ambitious titles Nintendo has delivered. It highlights the creative whimsy possible with the new Switch 2 hardware."

• A Visual Powerhouse: Features top-tier character rendering with expressive facial animations and sharp 1080p handheld presentation.

• Nostalgic Heart: Blends the open-world freedom of Mario Odyssey with the "collect-a-thon" charm of Donkey Kong 64.

• Customization: Unlock special costumes, including a series of collectible pants for DK and exclusive gear via Amiibo support.
