Donkey Kong Bananza — Nintendo Switch 2

SMASH, DIG, AND DISCOVER. THE KING OF THE JUNGLE RETURNS IN AN ALL-NEW 3D BREAKAWAY ADVENTURE.

Developed by Nintendo EPD—the legendary team behind Super Mario Odyssey—comes Donkey Kong Bananza, a groundbreaking 3D sandbox platformer built from the ground up for the Nintendo Switch 2.

When the sinister Void Co. mining corporation invades Ingot Isle and plunders the mythical Banandium Gems to fuel their world-ending core drill, it’s up to Donkey Kong and Pauline to stop them. Dive straight into an expansive underground world split into massive thematic Layers—from molten lava depths to sub-zero ice cavern resorts. Get ready for a whole new level of freedom where your primate fists are the ultimate tool for puzzle-solving and navigation.
