In one thread where a player <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/NintendoSwitch2\/comments\/1m2j745\/is_this_game_going_to_give_me_ocd\/\">wonders if this game will give them OCD<\/a>, another fan commiserates by explaining why they need to progress through the game this way. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cI can&#8217;t even enjoy it yet as I feel the need to smash everything,\u201d they write. \u201cI&#8217;m still in the opening stages, so hopefully I move away from this. It&#8217;s the same reason I struggle with open world games. I get overwhelmed with having to do everything and then stop playing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">In one post where someone says they still aren\u2019t out of the first area, a fan notes that part of what\u2019s fueling this approach to <em>Bananza<\/em> is the fact the game <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/NintendoSwitch2\/comments\/1m2kygt\/havent_even_gotten_through_the_first_part_haha\/\">has a wild number of collectibles<\/a>. Some players might feel the urge to find <em>everything, <\/em>and when <em>Bananza<\/em> randomly generates things like chests, it\u2019s easy to feel like you need to approach it as meticulously as possible. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-reddit wp-block-embed-reddit\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"iframely-embed\">\n<div class=\"iframely-responsive\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/donkeykong\/comments\/1m2l7dt\/i_dug_out_the_entirety_of_the_intro_cave\/\" data-iframely-url=\"https:\/\/cdn.iframe.ly\/api\/iframe?maxheight=750&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.reddit.com%2Fr%2Fdonkeykong%2Fcomments%2F1m2l7dt%2Fi_dug_out_the_entirety_of_the_intro_cave%2F&#038;key=ff2ced3d1b51f7e6c5a2c62b5be4eb3d\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cI had ~33K gold, 500 banandium chips, and all the bananas + fossils by the time I finally moved on from the Lagoon Layer,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/NintendoSwitch2\/comments\/1m2j745\/is_this_game_going_to_give_me_ocd\/\">one player remarked<\/a>. \u201cAlso some ~690000m<sup>3<\/sup>&nbsp;of smashed stuff total.\u201c <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Though it may seem gauche to liken a playstyle to a mental health condition, a noteworthy number of people who say they\u2019re approaching the game with such diligence note that they do, in fact, have obsessive compulsive disorder. \u201cThis game is a mind f- for ocd,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/NintendoSwitch2\/comments\/1m30pj1\/ok_how_much_of_the_first_area_did_you_clear\/\">one player wrote in a thread<\/a> with a handful of other people who claim they have the condition. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Others are spending ages destroying and rebuilding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/NintendoSwitch2\/comments\/1m2c0qi\/just_me_who_has_been_terra_forming_for_the_past_2\/\">for the love of the game<\/a>. Though it may seem excessive, it\u2019s obvious Nintendo intended for players to get at least a little carried away. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendo.com\/us\/whatsnew\/ask-the-developer-vol-19-donkey-kong-bananza-part-2\/\">Here\u2019s developer Naoto Kubo<\/a>, from <em>Donkey Kong Bananza<\/em>\u2019s entertainment planning and development department, describing how Nintendo made the game\u2019s destruction into such a tactile delight:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">We also poured a lot of effort into the sound effects to make the sense of destruction feel satisfying and responsive. It wasn\u2019t just about using loud or dramatic sounds. For instance, players will hear the sound of basic materials like rocks breaking thousands of times during play. So, we aimed for sounds that are pleasant to the ears without being tiring or repetitive. To that end, we recorded sound effects by hand, capturing the textures of materials like rock and sand. Recording everyday sounds like this is often referred to as Foley. We recorded lots of variations so the sound would vary depending on how the material was destroyed, instead of always sounding the same. We also added subtle randomness through programming and fine-tuned the sounds to make sure they weren&#8217;t too loud or high-pitched. Meanwhile, for special objects that show up later in the game, we emphasized fun and flashy sounds. We hope players will find them satisfying. We recorded all kinds of material sounds using Foley techniques, including those of fruits. There&#8217;s even a dedicated sound for hitting a watermelon. It was about more than just making it sound hard or soft. When players hit it, we wanted it to sound delicious!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">To be sure, <em>Donkey Kong Bananza<\/em> does have some safety measures to ensure the player can\u2019t <em>fully <\/em>break the game. Some of this is narrative: Monkeys will cheer you on as you whack things, or they\u2019ll need help that, coincidentally, only DK\u2019s fists can provide. Some measures are more forceful, like placing important things on metal ground that cannot be destroyed. Other times, the game shrugs and lets you do whatever you want \u2014 some NPCs can regenerate after you destroy them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Still, it\u2019s a surprise to see just how amenable <em>Bananza<\/em> is to the player\u2019s potential annihilation. Here\u2019s one Japanese player in utter disbelief that the platformer allows you to break apart what is otherwise a beautiful area as the NPC watches helplessly:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u3048\uff1f\uff1f\uff1f\u3053\u3093\u306a\u306b\u3082\u7dba\u9e97\u306a\u5bb6\u3082\u3076\u3063\u58ca\u305b\u308b\u306e\uff1f\uff1f\uff1f\uff1f\uff1f<\/p>\n<p>\u4eca\u307e\u3067\u306e\u30b2\u30fc\u30e0\u3063\u3066\u6697\u9ed9\u306e\u4e86\u89e3\u3067\u58ca\u305b\u308b\u3068\u3053\u308d\u3068\u58ca\u305b\u306a\u3044\u3068\u3053\u308d\u304c\u30cf\u30c3\u30ad\u30ea\u3057\u3066\u3044\u305f\u306e\u3067\u30d3\u30c3\u30af\u30ea\u3057\u305f\ud83d\ude31<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%E3%83%89%E3%83%B3%E3%82%AD%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B3%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B0%E3%83%90%E3%83%8A%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B6?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u30c9\u30f3\u30ad\u30fc\u30b3\u30f3\u30b0\u30d0\u30ca\u30f3\u30b6<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/vlAHcT1Wv7\">pic.twitter.com\/vlAHcT1Wv7<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; KENT for \u30b2\u30fc\u30e0\u30ec\u30d3\u30e5\u30fc\/\u7d39\u4ecb (@kentworld2) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kentworld2\/status\/1945790772332356063?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 17, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">But just because the game won\u2019t stop an endless rampage doesn\u2019t mean the behavior won\u2019t raise eyebrows. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cAre you okay?\u201d asks one fan in a thread where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/donkeykong\/comments\/1m2l7dt\/i_dug_out_the_entirety_of_the_intro_cave\/\">the player shows a screenshot<\/a> of the intro area that\u2019s been rendered bare. \u201cSend bananas,\u201d the OP quips. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/culture\/613994\/donkey-kong-bananza-destruction-mechanics-switch-2-opening-level\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many players will likely spend a good deal of Donkey Kong Bananza\u2019s opening testing just how far the Switch 2 game will let them go.
