About This Item
Join DK and his companion, Pauline, as they delve deep underground—and discover that this subterranean world is a lot more than it seems on the surface. Uncover a variety of environments such as arid canyons, lush forests, and frigid tundra as you peel back the world’s layers! Pair up with Pauline to use powerful Bananza Transformations. Pauline is a talented young singer looking to find her way back to the surface—and her singing can empower Donkey Kong with Bananza Transformations! Each transformation has its own signature strengths: you can smash through the toughest obstacles with the raw strength of Kong form, gallop with incredible speed as a Zebra, and more. Team up with a friend in two-player co-op to dive into the Underground world as Donkey Kong and Pauline. The second player can blast foes and terrain alike with the power of Pauline’s voice as you explore together. Smash your way to the Planet Core before the greedy Void Company gets there first. The Planet Core is said to have the power to grant any desire—and Void Kong, the ruthless head of the greedy Void Company, will stop at nothing to reach it and claim all the world’s riches for himself. Donkey Kong and Pauline have other ideas…but if they’re going to get their wishes granted, they’ll have to beat Void Kong to the punch. Join DK and Pauline in an absolutely bananas action-packed journey as you smash your way to the Planet Core! Explore DK Island in the included DK Island & Emerald Rush DLC! Sightsee across this modern take on Donkey Kong’s home, packed with nostalgic views like DK’s Treehouse, Gangplank Galleon, and other iconic locations in the DLC that’s included in this bundle. Take in-game photos with familiar friends Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, Cranky Kong, Rambi, and Squawks, and decorate DK Island with DLC-exclusive character statues that you can obtain with Banandium Chips. You might even find some hidden bonus stages among the mine cart tracks and jungle ruins! You can get a first look at DK Island by talking to Squawks after reaching the Racing Layer. After completing the game, you can visit DK Island as its own Layer and decorate it with character statues. Push your skills to the limit in the fast-paced challenge of Emerald Rush. Take on timed, repeatable, increasingly difficult challenges in Emerald Rush—a mode that plays quite differently from the main game. Start from the ground up and rebuild DK’s power and skills as you progress through challenges in DK Island and various Layers of the Underground World. Collect emerald ore to earn exclusive in-game rewards and perks! Access this DLC and start Emerald Rush by talking to one of the Elders and then visiting the Warp Gong after clearing the main storyline.
