Donkey Kong Bananza[b] is a 2025 platform game developed by Nintendo EPD 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. Similar to EPD’s Super Mario Odyssey (2017), players explore 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.
Feature One
Donkey Kong can roll,[14] punch, slap the terrain, pick up and throw objects, and climb most surfaces.[2][4] The player learns five animal-themed power-up transformations from non-player character (NPC) elders: a gorilla transformation that increases Donkey Kong’s strength; a zebra transformation that increases his speed; an ostrich transformation that allows him to glide and drop egg bombs; an elephant transformation that allows him to inhale and spit terrain; and a snake transformation that increases his jump height.[15] The player can use and swap between transformations at any time, though their duration is limited by an energy meter.[10]
