Summary:

Donkey Kong Bananza is a 3D platformer developed by Nintendo EPD for the Nintendo Switch 2 and released worldwide on July 17, 2025. It is the first 3D platromer in the Donkey Kong franchise since 1999's Donkey Kong 64. Donkey Kong is joined by a 13-year-old Pauline as he explores the vast underground environments as they attempt to stop The Void Company, which is a group of evil Kongs that want to claim the power of the Planet Core. The power of Pauline's singing voice is able to empower DK with "Bananza Time", which sees DK transform into an ultra fast zebra, an ostrich that can glide through the air, or a super-strong version of himself.
