Sightsee across this modern take on Donkey Kong’s home, packed with nostalgic views like DK’s Treehouse, Gangplank Galleon, and other iconic locations. Take in-game photos with familiar friends Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, Cranky Kong, and Rambi, and Squawks, and decorate DK Island with DLC-exclusive character statues that you can obtain with Banandium Chips.

    Keeps getting better

    A lot of replayability. Fun new mechanics. Some of the bosses are a bit too easy. Overall very pleased to be enjoying DK in a 3D world

    DK Island = Meh, Emerald Rush = Yeh!!!

    DK Island is unfortunatelypretty boring. Empty island with not much to do, and serves as the first level for Emerald Rush. Emerald Rush actually has a lot of depth to it and is very addicting. I got this with a coupon, so for $10 it was very worth it.

    Fun DLC, but a bit pricey for what it is

    This DLC is a fun bunch of post-game content, and thankfully I had promotional credit from Best Buy to spend on it, But the cost is a bit much for the content you get if you dont have promotional credit or a gift card. Its great to explore DK island, and the emerald rush mode is fun, but gets old rather quick. Still very enjoyable, and if its ever on sale I'd definitely recommend it then!

    Fun add on

    A very fun little add on for the base game. Could have used a little more content for the price

    Not worth the price, but it's DK so I had to get i

    As a massive Donkey Kong fan and someone who loved Donkey Kong Bananza, I had fun with this DLC but I am not sure the content is worth the price. Exploring DK Island was nice but the novelty wears off quickly. Some fun moments and whatnot, but unless you have a strong urge for more DK content I'd wait for sale.

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.
