If you’ve recently taken up employment with Void Company in the Donkey Kong Bananza: DK Island & Emerald Rush paid DLC, then listen up! We’ve got a bunch of tips that’ll not only make meeting your emerald quota a breeze, but have you climbing the career ladder faster than you can say “Oh, banana!”.
The locations of active Void Goals and any Banandium Gems that carry skills can be viewed from the map menu. The clock will stop while you’re using the map, so take a breather while mulling over your next move.
Bonus tip: fossil locations stay the same for each run. They won’t appear on your map normally, but there is a Perk that’ll allow you to see where they’re buried.
Perks earned from gathering fossils will grant useful effects, such as gaining more emeralds from defeated enemies or treasure chests. Those effects can be further enhanced if you select the same Perk multiple times, so consider your choices carefully to maximise your emerald ore-pportunities!
Dug yourself a little too deep? Use a Warp Barrel by pressing the R and ZR Buttons together to blast yourself skyward or use one to fast travel to other locations via the map menu. Either one will save you both the time and hassle of backtracking on foot.
Skills can be unlocked by smashing Banandium Gems, but you can also spend Banandium Chips to upgrade your skills at any time during a run by pressing the Up Button. For example, you could increase the range of DK’s Hand Slap to make gathering up scattered green ore a breeze.
All Bananza transformations are available from the get-go, so use their unique strengths to your advantage to get your mitts on as much green ore as possible. Smash through tougher materials using the Kong Bananza, sprint across water with the Zebra Bananza or fly to a distant platform as the Ostrich Bananza.
By the way, if you adjust the difficulty setting to level 3 or above, Bananza transformations will need to be unlocked one by one during your run.
Ready to take on the challenge and earn that promotion? Refine your winning strategy in the Donkey Kong Bananza: DK Island & Emerald Rush DLC – out now on Nintendo Switch 2.
You must own Donkey Kong Bananza on Nintendo Switch 2 to access downloadable content.
