Donkey Kong Bananza: The Upside Down Platformer (Review)
13The platforming genre is in the middle of a renaissance. From Mario Odyssey and Kirby and the Forgotten Land to Astro Bot and It Takes Two, developers keep finding bold new ways to push creativity, player expression, and world design forward.
But what happens when a platformer takes those ideas and turns them upside down?
In this video, we explore how Donkey Kong Bananza reimagines what a platformer can be—shifting from simply moving through worlds to reshaping, breaking, and bending them in ways that feel uniquely personal. With fresh ideas, playful design, and that signature Nintendo sense of wonder, Bananza may just be one of the most inventive platformers we’ve seen in years.
