'Donkey Kong Bananza' DK Island + Emerald Rush DLC Adding Monthly In-Game Events Starting Next Week

by Rainier on Oct. 20, 2025 @ 10:16 a.m. PDT

Donkey Kong Bananza is a 3D platforming action/adventure where you crash, bash, and climb through nearly everything in DK’s path and tear off chunks of terrain to swing around and throw.

The more that is demolished with powerful punches, the more areas open up to discover. Break on through this adventure full of mayhem, surprises and bananas when 

The Donkey Kong Bananza gamekicks off in Ingot Isle, where the discovery of the century has just been made within its cavernous depths: golden bananas! This turns out to be excellent news for renowned banana fan Donkey Kong, who just happens to be there for this incredible find. However, just before DK can indulge in the gilded treats, a tempest sends him hurtling deeper into the depths of the planet. There, he meets a mysterious new ally in Odd Rock, who turns out to be a talented young singer named Pauline! Together, the pair explore the vast Underground World by smashing, crashing, jumping and singing their way through it.

A rollicking adventure you can play solo or in co-op with a friend, Donkey Kong Bananza gives you new ways to cut loose and unleash your inner Kong!


DK Island just got even more bananas!

Starting Oct. 28, players who have finished the Donkey Kong Bananza game’s main story can participate in monthly limited-time events within the DK Island + Emerald Rush paid DLC.

During each event period, you can tackle a special Emerald Rush challenge that shakes up the usual formula by setting some fixed conditions, such as the Emerald Perks you can obtain from fossils and Banandium Gems. You’ll still be able to select your Emerald Perk from three choices, but the options presented to you will remain the same during each run.

Achieve the challenge’s target scores and you’ll be rewarded with certain character statues and Banandium Chips, which can be exchanged for standard statues. Don’t worry if you don’t get it the first time – you can retry as many times as you’d like within the event period!

The first event, Chip Fever, will take place from Oct. 28 at 1 a.m. PT until Nov. 3 at 11:59 p.m. PT. During this time, players can smash their way through DK Island for a chance to collect statues of Enguarde and Kong Bananza.

What are you waiting for? Put on your hard hat and prepare to pulverize that quota!

Donkey Kong Bananza is available for Nintendo Switch 2.
