Welcome to DK Island

Your action-packed vacation in the sun and sand starts here!

Discover the contemporary rendition of Donkey Kong’s dwelling, a place brimming with nostalgic vistas, including Donkey Kong’s Treehouse, Gangplank Galleon, and other famous landmarks.

  • Take in-game photos with familiar friends Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, Cranky Kong, Rambi, and Squawks.
  • Decorate DK Island with DLC-exclusive character statues that you can obtain with Banandium Chips.
  • Look for hidden bonus stages in the mine cart tracks and jungle ruins.

A New Way to Play

  • Push Your Skills to the Limit in the Fast-paced Challenge of Emerald Rush – Take on increasingly difficult challenges in Emerald Rush—a mode that plays quite differently from the main game. Collect emerald ore and complete side missions to earn exclusive in-game Perks!
  • Limited-Time Events – Emerald Rush events will be held periodically and feature special rewards. Get exclusive statues that you won’t find anywhere else!

Getting Started

As a seasoned gamer, I’d say it like this: “Once you’ve wrapped up the main adventure, chat with one of the Elders to unlock Emerald Rush. Post-story, head on over to the Warp Gong and let the rush begin!

Donkey Kong Bananza is available now for Switch 2.
