The game “Donkey Kong Bananza” has been out for nearly a month now, and it’s been delighting gamers everywhere. It’s rapidly turning into an excellent incentive to get a Nintendo Switch 2, and it’s solidifying its position as one of the top-tier 3D platformers currently on the market. It’s also making waves as a strong candidate for the prestigious title of “Game of the Year” in 2025.
Amidst everything else, Bananza is likewise emerging as a high-quality game that’s skillfully crafted. Gamers have been drawn to some noteworthy aspects, with one detail in particular garnering attention from multiple members on the Nintendo Switch 2 forum.
In the game “Donkey Kong Bananza,” the level of precision is truly astonishing, even more so considering its primary focus is on causing destruction. Surprisingly, the developers took care to include minor details that often go unnoticed because they’re usually destroyed by Donkey Kong or Pauline, such as gold items which serve as both in-game currency and weapons. Remarkably, they included these details despite knowing they would likely be destroyed.
It’s unbelievable how detailed dk bananza is. Gold is a soft material,so dk leaves his footprints on it

User MindPrize120 shared on Reddit, “Donkey Kong Bananza is astonishingly detailed. Since gold is a malleable substance, it’s realistic that Donkey Kong leaves footprints when moving across it.” This additional detail enhances the game’s authenticity, even though the game itself isn’t meant to be realistic. Given Donkey Kong’s massive size, it only follows that he would leave impressions on softer materials like gold.
The post received more than 600 upvotes and over 100 comments, yet most discussions veered off-topic to explain why gold can explode, contrary to its portrayal in Nintendo games where it often appears to float, such as in the Mario series. Interestingly enough, this game feature surprisingly mirrors reality.
One point that u/GL_original made was, “Since it’s not typical gold, it’s Banandium Gold. I suspect a loading screen text clarifies this at some point.” However, there is also a practical explanation for this. As u/surrealmirror discovered, under specific conditions, gold can be reactive and even potentially explode!
In my enthusiasm for game details, I’ve come across an interesting observation about gold footprints in various media – as u/ConflictPotential204 pointed out, it’s intriguing that pure gold is often depicted as softer and more malleable than we usually see in games. However, some fellow gamers were taken aback by this revelation, finding it surprising that such a detail would even matter!
As a die-hard gamer, I can’t help but notice that even the classics from Nintendo, like “The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask” and “Metal Gear Solid,” have left their mark on softer surfaces over time. It’s fascinating to think about, isn’t it? u/BloodyTearsz made a great point when he said, “If you stick exclusively to Nintendo games or consoles, that might be your experience, but the footprints of this phenomenon go way back.
Despite that, the overall impression is that the meticulous portrayal of Donkey Kong’s size and weight is generally well-received. The developers could have easily skipped this detail since many players might not have noticed it during gameplay, but they chose to include it nonetheless.
