There's also a sense of persistence in Bananza. You can create little home bases that let you rest up and change outfits. You'll meander off and come back to locations. Mario Odyssey had some of this too, but Bananza feels more lived in.

Donkey Kong Bananza is a 3D action platformer where you can dig holes, build bridges, and experiment in other ways as you burrow through various whimsical worlds on your way toward the planet core. Nintendo was so happy with its deformation tech that it decided to spin it off into an entirely separate artist mode.

To scan amiibo in Donkey Kong Bananza, press the Plus button to open the main menu and then select the amiibo icon. Then, you just need to hold the amiibo against the right control stick on the Joy-Con or on the center of the Pro Controller, against the Nintendo Switch 2 logo to scan it.
