Explore a vast underground world—by smashing your way through it! Bash through just about anything with the raw power of Donkey Kong! Crash through walls, carve tunnels with your fists, punch straight down into the ground, and even tear off chunks of terrain to swing around and throw in groundbreaking exploration—the more you smash, the more areas open up for you to move through.

Pair up with Pauline to use powerful Bananza Transformations Pauline is a talented young singer looking to find her way back to the surface—and her singing can empower Donkey Kong with Bananza Transformations! Each transformation has its own signature strengths: you can smash through the toughest obstacles with the raw strength of Kong form, gallop with incredible speed as a Zebra, and more. Team up with a friend in two-player co-op to dive into the Underground world as Donkey Kong and Pauline. The second player can blast foes and terrain alike with the power of Pauline’s voice as you explore together. Smash your way to the Planet Core before the greedy Void Company gets there first The Planet Core is said to have the power to grant any desire—and Void Kong, the ruthless head of the greedy Void Company, will stop at nothing to reach it and claim all the world’s riches for himself. Donkey Kong and Pauline have other ideas…but if they’re going to get their wishes granted, they’ll have to beat Void Kong to the punch. Join DK and Pauline in an absolutely bananas action- packed journey as you smash your way to the Planet Core!

Nintendo’s Most Joyfully Destructive Platformer in Years
Platform: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition: Game only
Donkey Kong Bananza feels like Nintendo looked at the idea of a platformer and asked, “What if movement itself was the toy?” The result is one of the most creative and purely fun games I’ve played in a long time. From the first hour, the game radiates personality. The animations are expressive, the environments are packed with detail, and the sheer physicality of Donkey Kong’s movement makes everything feel satisfying. Jumping, climbing, smashing through terrain, and tearing apart the environment never stopped being entertaining. There’s a constant sense that the world is reacting to you instead of simply existing around you. What really elevates the game is how inventive the level design becomes. Nintendo constantly introduces new mechanics, twists, and environmental interactions without letting the experience grow stale. Every new area feels like the developers asking themselves how much more creativity they can squeeze out of the core gameplay loop. The game trusts experimentation, and because of that, exploration feels rewarding rather than mandatory. On the Nintendo Switch 2, performance was smooth throughout my time with the game. The visuals are vibrant without losing clarity during chaotic moments, and the larger-scale destruction sequences are genuinely impressive. Load times were quick, controls felt responsive, and the entire experience carried that signature Nintendo polish where everything simply feels good to play. What surprised me most was how much charm the game has beyond the mechanics. There’s an infectious sense of joy running through the entire experience. It understands that games are supposed to be playful, and it fully commits to that idea without irony or restraint. Overall, Donkey Kong Bananza is one of the strongest platformers Nintendo has released in years. It’s inventive, energetic, polished, and consistently fun in a way that reminds you why Nintendo’s first-party games remain so beloved. If you own a Switch 2 and enjoy platformers even remotely, this is absolutely worth playing. ... show more

Best Platformer Ever
Platform: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition: Game only
I have been gaming for 30 years and I have never played a platformer this fun and addicting. Generally people say Mario Galaxy, Mario Odyssey, and Astro Bot are the best, and I am happy to say this is better than all of them. You explore various maps looking for crystal banana's, similar to Mario games where you look for stars, shine sprites, and moons. Instead of jumping around to solve puzzles, you can smash essentially any object in this game and that opens up a whole new world in terms of exploration and gameplay. DK is a beast and you can smash through stone, dirt, sand, wood, and so much more. The world is yours to explore and to destroy. While tearing through the land, you will discover hidden paths and loot that you will be addicted to finding. Its like they took the best of everything Mario and threw in some Zelda and DK Country love to make the perfect platforming game. You can climb almost any surface and pick up chunks of the ground to smash things with it or even turf surf with it. There is even some transformations that allow you to smash more, run faster, and even fly. This is freedom on another level from Nintendo. Visuals and sound are great. Majority of time the game runs 60fps but it will hit occasional drops, but not often. The worst is when you look at the map for some reason. Its real time and shows all of your destruction in a 3D model so I get that it can be taxing but it tanks the FPS to 30 for sure. You will not be in the map much, so I wouldn't sweat it. Visually the maps are all distinct and look great. You get real 90's Rare vibes from it all and old and new fans will appreciate it. Graphics are really great but Nintendo using FSR 1, which is old tech at this point is kind of silly. The Switch 2 can use a DLSS which would have been optimal for this game. Lastly, the sound effects are great and the music is good. Is it DK country good? No, but the music fits this game well. I have played Expedition 33, Death Stranding 2, and various other games this year and DK is better than all of them. This is my Game of the Year and if Nintendo can top this on the Switch 2, then we may be in for the best Nintendo console generation ever. 10 out of 10 for me. ... show more

Big approval for Donkey Kong Bananza

Great game!
Platform: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition: Game only
This game is so fun. Its like they took Super Mario Odyssey and made a version for Donkey Kong. The difficulty is definitely higher than Odyssey but not impossible. The ending is really good. There are easter eggs all over the place referencing DK64 which is awesome! I grew up with that game so it has a special place. If you are considering it and enjoyed Odyssey you’ll like this game! I didn’t know what to think of it at first but the more I went through it the better it got. ... show more

Fun game!
Platform: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition: Game only
Fun game! My 7 year old has enjoyed playing this game alone and with friends. The only thing that isn’t as great is that while it is technically two player the second player has limited actions and mainly follows the first player. It makes it more fun as a one player game than a two player game.
