Overview

  • GameShare lets a Switch 2 owner invite a local or online friend on any Switch console to join as Pauline in two-player co-op where she unleashes vocal blasts.
  • Donkey Kong can smash and reshape almost every surface in Ingot Isle to solve puzzles, uncover hidden Banandium Gems and forge new paths through the underground world.
  • Players can transform DK using Bananza transformations into a giant super-strong gorilla, a sprinting zebra and a gliding ostrich, all powered by collected bananergy.
  • DK and young Pauline must descend through Ingot Isle to stop the Void Company from reaching the planet’s core, a premise that raises questions about where this adventure fits in the Donkey Kong timeline.
  • Donkey Kong & Pauline Amiibo launching at release unlock Pauline’s Diva Dress plus unique spheres, with Banandium Gems fueling a skill tree to upgrade DK’s moves.
