About

Donkey Kong Bananza is exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2! Explore a vast underground world—by smashing your way through it! Bash, throw, and climb through just about anything in DK’s brand-new 3D platforming action-adventure game!

Storyline

Amid a gold rush on Ingot Isle, Donkey Kong sets out in search of the prized Banandium Gems, only to find them being plundered by a mining corporation called VoidCo. Its president, Void Kong, is using the gems to power a great ship, intent on reaching the planet's core to claim the Banandium Root, a magical object said to grant the wishes of whoever wields it. Swept deep underground, Donkey Kong discovers a vast hidden world beneath the surface, home to animal societies and their ancient elders. There he rescues a curious companion who is revealed to be Pauline, a teenage girl kidnapped by Void, and receives extraordinary transformative powers from an elder. Together, Donkey Kong and Pauline journey ever deeper toward the core to stop Void's scheme.
