Shockingly, there\u2019s more to this game than I initially expected. And everything that Nintendo showed off is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/nintendo-switch-2\/552075\/donkey-kong-bananza-hands-on-preview-impressions\">best argument<\/a> for why this game isn\u2019t simply a <em>Super Mario Odyssey<\/em> or<em> The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild<\/em> clone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The <em>Donkey Kong Bananza<\/em> Direct went down on Wednesday, diving deeper into the latest adventure from our favorite muscular monkey. Mysteries were solved surrounding Odd Rock and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/nintendo-switch-2\/607651\/donkey-kong-bananza-pauline-coop-2-player-nintendo-direct\">what role Pauline plays in the game<\/a>, and clarity was achieved with a better understanding of the full scope of <em>Bananza. <\/em>But with all the clarification came more new exciting features that allow Donkey Kong\u2019s latest adventure to stand out from <em>Odyssey <\/em>and <em>BOTW<\/em> \u2014 regardless of any shallow similarities. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Check out the dopest new features from <em>Donkey Kong Bananza<\/em> below.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A multiplayer element, whether your friend has the game or not<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/donkey-kong-bananzas-dopest-features-revealed-in-nintendo-direct-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><em>Donkey Kong Bananza<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/nintendo-switch-2\/607651\/donkey-kong-bananza-pauline-coop-2-player-nintendo-direct\">incorporates multiplayer elements into the game<\/a>, much like <em>Super Mario Odyssey<\/em>. In <em>Odyssey<\/em>, players were given limited control over the plumber&#8217;s new companion, Cappy. <em>Bananza <\/em>also gives a second control over the title\u2019s companion. However, unlike <em>Odyssey<\/em>, players can use Pauline with more freedom, firing powerful vocal blasts via the Joy-Con 2\u2019s mouse controls. Players controlling Pauline will be able to copy the materials of nearby terrain to enhance her singing projectiles, which, as seen in the trailer, can assist player 1 in intense boss battles by doing real damage. And if that wasn\u2019t enough, <em>Bananza <\/em>uses the Switch 2\u2019s GameShare capabilities, allowing co-op play even if one person owns a copy of the game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">So, in <em>Bananza<\/em>, multiplayer <em>actually matters.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DK, Donkey Kong is here&#8230; with a killer soundtrack<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/donkey-kong-bananzas-dopest-features-revealed-in-nintendo-direct.png\" alt=\"Pauline singing 1986\u2019s \u201cLike an (Odd) Rock,\u201d by Bob Seger for no reason at all. \" title=\"Pauline singing 1986\u2019s \u201cLike an (Odd) Rock,\u201d by Bob Seger for no reason at all. \" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Nintendo \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">When I think of Nintendo, the first things that come to mind are childlike joy, timeless fun, and a killer soundtrack. And <em>Bananza <\/em>is no exception.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Much like <em>Odyssey <\/em>and <em>BOTW<\/em>, careful intention went into the game&#8217;s music to push the title forward with new jams, seemingly sung by Pauline, and paying homage to its roots with classic songs. For example, despite a departure from Rare&#8217;s Kong, \u201cJungle Hijinks\u201d from <em>Donkey Kong Country <\/em>and even the iconic \u201cDK Rap\u201d from <em>Donkey Kong 64 <\/em>triumphantly return to the franchise. And speaking of music&#8230;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Music is the rhythm of life and transformation<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/donkey-kong-bananzas-dopest-features-revealed-in-nintendo-direct-1.png\" alt=\"Donkey Kong turning into a Zebra and dashing across the icy tundra. \" title=\"Donkey Kong turning into a Zebra and dashing across the icy tundra. \" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Nintendo \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Music plays a big role in <em>Bananza\u2019s<\/em> mechanics. Pauline appeared in <em>Odyssey <\/em>as the mayor of New Donk City and sang the game&#8217;s theme song, \u201cJump Up, Super Star!\u201d <em>Bananza,<\/em> on the other hand<em>, <\/em>finds a younger Pauline, weaponizing her talents to aid Donkey Kong in his adventure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Players can power up their abilities by harnessing acquired powers from the musically themed Giant Elders, granting Pauline the skill to grant DK Bananza Transformations, allowing him to transform into various animals. These transformations include DK becoming a zebra to dash across water or an ostrich to take flight into the tropical skies like our good friend Expresso in the old days.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Side-scrolling glory<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/donkey-kong-bananzas-dopest-features-revealed-in-nintendo-direct-2.png\" alt=\"Dk and Pauline attempting to beat a side-scrolling challenge.\" title=\"Dk and Pauline attempting to beat a side-scrolling challenge.\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Nintendo \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Donkey Kong\u2019s synonymous side-scrolling gameplay returns in <em>Bananza<\/em> as specific nail-biting challenges to earn a new collectible called Banandium Gem.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Players can then trade in Banandium Gems to level up DK\u2019s skill points and unlock destructive new abilities in his adventures across this layered world. The Nintendo Direct trailer footage showed a glimpse at the old-school-inspired gameplay with DK and Pauline being shot through a series of barrels, swinging and swerving across various craggy 2.5 levels.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tired: Mario Paint; Wired: DK Paint<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/donkey-kong-bananzas-dopest-features-revealed-in-nintendo-direct-3.png\" alt=\"Donkey Kong Artist mode shown in the new game Donkey Kong Bananza. \" title=\"Donkey Kong Artist mode shown in the new game Donkey Kong Bananza. \" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Nintendo \" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><em>Bananza<\/em> even has a dope new feature for those who want to take a break from mass kong destruction: DK Artist. DK Artist reminded me of the <em>Super Mario 64 <\/em>title screen and Mario Paint mashed into one experience; it was surprisingly charming.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Using the Joy-Con 2 mouse controls, players can carve, mold, and stretch intricate designs into stone, and even use paint and other coloring methods to bring life to their humble masterpieces.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><em>Donkey Kong Bananza<\/em> is similar to <em>Super Mario Odyssey<\/em> and<em> The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild<\/em> in the same way that Street Fighter and Darkstalkers are the same games: They\u2019re titles from the same publisher and developer operating in a similar genre. And <em>Bananza\u2019s <\/em>truly banana features and emphasis on chaotic demolition are more than proof of that; let&#8217;s just hope that the game can stick its landing and avoid any (banana peel) slips on the way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Nintendo will release <em>Donkey Kong Bananza<\/em> exclusively for the Switch 2 on July 17.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/nintendo-switch-2\/607658\/donkey-kong-bananzas-new-features\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nintendo has finally revealed more information about Donkey Kong Bananza as part of a new Nintendo Direct.
