Donkey Kong Bananza Playlist: • Rogue Mechanist: Donkey Kong Bananza
Join DK and his companion, Pauline, as they delve deep underground—and discover that this subterranean world is a lot more than it seems on the surface. Uncover a variety of environments such as arid canyons, lush forests, and frigid tundra as you peel back the world’s layers!
With DK’s brute force and Pauline’s special singing abilities, you can 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 to explore.
Donkey Kong Bananza is a 2025 platform game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch 2. The player controls the gorilla Donkey Kong, who ventures underground with a young Pauline to recover stolen banana-shaped diamonds from a group of villainous apes. It plays similarly to Super Mario Odyssey (2017), with players exploring sandbox-like levels while completing objectives, battling enemies, and collecting objects. Bananza is distinguished by its destructible environments; the player can destroy most terrain to create paths and find items.
Bananza is the first Donkey Kong game that Nintendo developed internally since Donkey Kong Jungle Beat (2004) and entered development following Odyssey's completion. Development began on the original Nintendo Switch, but shifted to the Switch 2 after it was determined that it would better realize their concepts. They used the voxel technology that allowed players to manipulate terrain in some Odyssey levels to a significantly greater degree, designing large, destructible worlds emphasizing Donkey Kong's strength. The soundtrack comprises rearrangements of David Wise and Grant Kirkhope's music from Rare's Donkey Kong games alongside new material.
Donkey Kong Bananza was released on July 17, 2025. It was the first original Donkey Kong game since Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (2014) and the first 3D platformer since Donkey Kong 64 (1999). It received acclaim.
