The best songs from Donkey Kong Country. No, not that one. After years of Donkey Kong hype starvation, it feels like, Nintendo’s biggest and burliest boy is back in the spotlight. With Donkey Kong Bananza showing up as the first post-launch Nintendo Switch 2 game, the people out there are finally giving DK his due.

Nintendo has explained why Donkey Kong wears clothes in the latest Switch 2 exclusive, Donkey Kong Bananza. For as long as Donkey Kong has been around, he's typically been portrayed completely naked (if a monkey can even be naked), but in the latest installment, the star ape underwent a makeover, in both character design and wardrobe.

Banandium Gems are golden bananas scattered around the layers in Donkey Kong Bananza. You’ll find dozens of these collectibles in the Lagoon Layer.

The right path leads to a Void Stake that opens up the path to the Forest Layer, where you can unlock the Ostrich Bananza and help clean up some poison water.

According to IGN, Takeda has replaced Takashi Nagasako, who voiced Donkey Kong for over two decades. Meanwhile, there's a new voice for Pauline as well in Donkey Kong Bananza, with Jenny Kidd taking over the English role from Kate Higgins, who had voiced her in Super Mario Odyssey.
