    Donkey Kong Bonanza delivers everything you’d ever want from a DK game and then some. The levels are creative, colorful, and full of that classic Donkey Kong charm. Every stage feels alive, and the mix of platforming, puzzles, and secrets keeps you hooked from start to finish. The controls feel smooth, the music is catchy, and the overall vibe is pure fun. Whether you’re a longtime Donkey Kong fan or brand new to the series, Bonanza hits that perfect balance between nostalgia and fresh gameplay. I had a smile on my face the entire time playing. If you want a game that’s full of energy, personality, and great design, Donkey Kong Bonanza is a must-play. Highly recommended!

    So much to do and destroy. It took me 45 minutes to get out of the tutorial because I was testing all the capabilities and moves. The game looks great and plays great. The music is awesome. And I truly enjoy all the puzzles and item collecting. That being said, the game is a little too easy but that also makes it more fun.

    Donkey Kong is back, baby! This is like a wif of fresh monkey breath! Solid game. Runs great. Looks great! finally after years since the well outdated donkey Kong 64 we have a all new 3D Donkey Kong using modern technology and gain playing mechanics, you would expect of a modern AAA title! It’s familiar enough that it fits in with other quality platforming titles, but has enough unique elements to make it something special. There’s definitely still some room for improvement in adding new gameplay mechanics in future releases, but there’s a lot to offer here and it’s a great game that you’ll have a lot of fun with. The ability to choose different pads to complete the level allows for those who want to master completing the level as fast as possible with a challenge, while allowing those that are just there to have fun and take their time to still have things to do, and have lots of fun!

    Another great 3D platformer from Nintendo

    This is a great 3D platformer and is similar in many ways to Mario Odyssey. If you aren’t usually a fan of Donkey Kong I would still give this a try, it is a great time with a lot of fun to be had. You have transformations with added abilities and power ups, the ability to destroy most of the environment and a lot of the usual abilities in other Donkey Kong games.

    Donkey Kong Bananza

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Donkey Kong Bananza is one of the most creative and fun 3D platformers in years. Smashing through anything in the environment never gets old, and every level adds something new and exciting to see or do. There's tons of Nintendo charm, packed with secrets and clever design, plus the co-op mode with Pauline is a blast. It’s not the hardest game ever, but exploring, collecting, and using crazy transformations keeps it super entertaining from start to finish. If you want a platformer that shows off what the Switch 2 can do, Donkey Kong Bananza is a must-own.

    Great Game With One Major Caveat

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    At last showing a bit more love for our iconic banana loving mascot and finally getting a new game under his belt. If you played Mario Odyssey then you'll definitely feel a connection between these two games but overall still a great semi-open world with major diversity of levels and characters to enjoy. If there's any real complaint it would be the camera as there's still some major issues at times with its functionality especially if you're going underground on a level you're playing as you can quickly become disoriented. Still while pricey it's definitely a great game to have for any Switch 2 owner and one many Switch 2 owners wouldn't mind underneath the Christmas tree this year.

    DK Bananza review

    There is a lot of fun to be had with "DK Bananza". For those sensitive to dizziness, you can turn down the sensitivity and completely turn off the camera vibration. You can also turn off the motion controls if those bother you, but they didn't bother me so I left them on. As for the gameplay, there are some very easy areas in this game and some very hard, but rewarding sections. There is a lot of incentive to search for more collectibles as they allow you to max out your skill tree. The music is very catchy! If you have a Switch 2, this is a must buy.

    Donkey Kong: Banana-nza is just flat-out fun. The levels are colorful, the controls feel smooth, and the music is ridiculously catchy. I found myself smiling the whole time. Some bosses are a bit repetitive and a few levels get frustratingly tough, but it never stopped me from wanting to keep playing. There’s so much charm packed into every stage, and plenty of secrets to go back and find. Honestly, it’s one of the best Donkey Kong games I’ve played in years. If you love platformers, this one’s absolutely worth it.

    Punching Has Never Been This Fun!

    I don’t think punching has ever been this much fun! Donkey Kong Bonanza is an absolute blast, from the same brilliant team behind Mario Odyssey. The level design and mechanics are top notch. Exploring and tearing through the terrain never gets old. Playing it reminds me of right being a kid with Mario 64, but now with 20+ years of advancements in hardware and game design. This should have been the pack-in game with the switch 2!

    The Nintendo Switch 2 is honestly a great upgrade if you enjoy playing both on the TV and on the go. The new screen looks much brighter and sharper, and the console feels faster overall. Games load quicker, the graphics look cleaner, and everything runs more smoothly.

    Donkey Kong Banananza is a really fun game that I have been enjoying on my Nintendo Switch. The gameplay is simple to pick up but still offers plenty of strategy to keep it interesting. Collecting bananas, using power ups, and competing against other players makes every round exciting and unpredictable. The graphics are colorful and cheerful and the animations for Donkey Kong and the other characters are charming. Playing solo is fun but the multiplayer mode is where this game really shines. It is easy to jump in with friends or family and the matches are fast and entertaining. I also like that the game has a nice balance of luck and skill which makes it fun even if you are not a hardcore gamer. The controls feel intuitive and responsive on the Switch and the game runs smoothly. Pros: Fun multiplayer, colorful graphics, easy to learn, engaging gameplay Cons: Some matches feel very luck based but it does not take away from the fun

    Fun new Donkey Kong experience, if you are a fan of the old Donkey Kong Country side scrolling platforms then be prepared for this huge change up with the Bananza experience almost comparable to the old Banjo & Kazooie this game brings countless fun hours and great buy graphics are amazing on the Switch 2!
