A huge part of the Bananza<\/em> experience is about hunting for collectibles \u2014 stuff like fossils<\/a>, Banandium Gems<\/a>, and yes, music discs.

In this Donkey Kong Bananza<\/em> guide, we explain how to find music discs<\/strong> using multiple methods.<\/p>\n

How to find music discs in Donkey Kong Bananza<\/h2>\n

If you want to collect all the music discs in Donkey Kong Bananza<\/em>, you can<\/em> find them after defeating enemies. Unlike fossils or Banandium Gems, which are hidden in specific places on the map, music discs just have a chance to drop when you kill an enemy<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

You also have a chance <\/em>to get a music disc when you tip 10 gold to the Trustytone concierge NPCs at your getaways<\/strong>. We\u2019ve tried tipping a variety of Trustytones, but it does seem like they can give you a music disc with no real patterns between them. The Trustytones will prompt you to tip after you ask them to imitate a shop, even if you don\u2019t buy anything from their pseudo-shops.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, based on our testing, it seems like the discs you get are completely random<\/strong>. We\u2019ve had discs drop for songs we\u2019ve never heard before, like the DK Artist mode song dropping despite us never using DK Artist<\/a> yet.<\/p>\n

There also doesn\u2019t seem to be too much correlation between locations and what disc you get either, as we\u2019ve had Hilltop Layer<\/a> songs drop for us in the Forest Layer<\/a>, and even boss music drop in unrelated zones.<\/p>\n

You can also increase the rate music discs drop if Pauline wears the Diva Dress, which unlocks via using the Donkey Kong and Pauline amiibo<\/a>. Some<\/a> players<\/a> have noted that you can unlock this dress later in the game, but we\u2019re unable to confirm this ourselves yet.<\/p>\n
