It is only the second 3D Donkey Kong sequel after Donkey Kong 64 in 1999. Part of the Super Mario Odyssey team, consisting of relatively young developers and Donkey Kong fans, was brought on board for development. Development began immediately after Mario Odyssey for the first Switch, but was postponed to the Switch 2 in 2021 due to technical limitations that jeopardized the game's vision. The story begins on the island of Ingot Isle, where Donkey Kong, while collecting rare Banandium gems, is ambushed by the sinister Void Company, which steals his treasures. Led by Void Kong, he is aided by Grumpy Kong and Poppy Kong. After a violent storm, Donkey Kong plunges into an underground cave system, where he meets the musically gifted girl Pauline. Yes, that Pauline – but rejuvenated to 13 years old. Together, the two embark on a journey towards the planet's core, a legendary place where wishes supposedly come true, while pursuing the Void Company. The two traverse a variety of terrain: lush lagoons, vast canyons, icy tundra, and more – every level of the world is full of secrets and surprises. In all these layers live inhabitants who suffer under the influence of the Void Company and urgently need support. Golden treasures are waiting to be discovered everywhere – especially the valuable Banandium jewels. These delicious gems earn skill points that can be used to boost Donkey Kong's health, increase his punching power, and unlock new abilities. Banandium gems are plentiful, so it's worth exploring every nook and cranny, destroying obstacles, and taking on challenges to retrieve as many of these treasures as possible. The game features a destructible, voxel-like world where Donkey Kong's raw power takes center stage. Players can tear down environments, uncover new paths, and actively influence the landscape. Additionally, special fossils can be found that unlock new outfits for Donkey Kong and Pauline. These are not only visually appealing but also provide gameplay advantages such as increased speed or improved durability. Banana chips are another form of currency that can be used to purchase all sorts of everyday items. Through the Bananzas – mysterious, ancestral powers from the depths of the underworld – Pauline's singing grants Donkey Kong the power to transform into various animal forms. However, these transformations are time-limited, so their use should be carefully considered. Collecting gold is crucial to maintaining his so-called Bananergy. Examples of transformations include: Kong Bananza, which makes him even stronger and allows him to shatter even the hardest stone; Zebra Bananza, which grants him tremendous speed and allows him to run over water or brittle paths; and Ostrich Bananza, which allows him to fly and throw egg bombs. In co-op mode, a second player takes control of Pauline, who can use her voice to wield special musical abilities. Together, the two can unleash powerful combos. For newcomers, there's a support mode that offers, among other things, target markers and reduced damage. A creative addition is the "DK Artist" mode, in which you can create your own small works of art – similar to a simple construction kit or painting program. The game will also be amiibo compatible: A separately available Donkey Kong & Pauline amiibo unlocks exclusive looks. ✒ MORE DATA: ▪ TITLE: Donkey Kong Bananza ▪ Developer: Nintendo EPD ▪ Publisher: Nintendo ▪ SYSTEM: Nintendo Switch 2 ▪ GENRE: 3D Platformer, Action-Adventure ▪ OFFICIAL SITE: https://shorturl.at/YCFgX ▪ GERMAN RELEASE: July 17, 2025 ▪ METASCORE: 91% #DonkeyKongBananza #NintendoSwitch2 #DonkeyKong
