Overview

• Donkey Kong Bananza launches on July 17 exclusively for Nintendo Switch2 with pre-orders now available and a Donkey Kong-and-Pauline amiibo releasing alongside the game.
• The 3D platformer stars Donkey Kong and a younger Pauline who uses her singing to trigger Bananza transformations—such as super-strength Kong, fast zebra and flying ostrich—to navigate destructible underground terrains.
• Local and online co-op can be accessed via shared Joy-Con2 controls or GameShare, letting one player control DK and another unleash Pauline’s vocal blasts with mouse gestures.
• Beyond the main Planet Core quest against the Void Company, players can tackle side-scrolling challenge courses, sculpt creations in DK Artist mode and earn collectibles to power up DK’s skills.
• A dynamic soundtrack blends new songs performed by Pauline with classic tracks like 'Jungle Hijinks' and the return of 'DK Rap,' while skill points and collectible Banandium Gems unlock abilities and buffs.
