Donkey Kong Bananza Nintendo Switch 2 - Part 1 - Gameplay Walkthrough [4K HDR | No Commentary]

A brand-new 3D Donkey Kong Action Adventure game—the first in over 26 years—has arrived on the Nintendo Switch 2! Donkey Kong Bananza is a major achievement from some of Nintendo’s most creative developers, bringing bold ideas, destructible terrain, and fresh gameplay to the iconic franchise. In this story-driven 3D open world action and adventure platformer, Donkey Kong is swept underground by a mysterious force during a banana-mining expedition. Alongside a cast of allies—including villagers, monkey clans, and a mysterious Odd Rock—DK must explore vast caverns, battle enemies, and find a way back to the surface. Along the way, you’ll discover bananas, Banandium gems, power-ups, powerful transformations, and hidden secrets across multiple biomes! This game features platforming, collectibles, costumes, and boss fights similar to Astro Bot, Astro’s Playroom, Mario Odyssey, and other platformer type games! If you liked those games and series, you may enjoy this too! I personally have enjoyed and had a lot of fun with this game so far!
