What Is Donkey Kong Bananza?

Donkey Kong Bananza is the first new 3D Donkey Kong title since Donkey Kong 64 for the N64 in 1999. Its core gameplay revolves around a digging ability, allowing Donkey Kong to pound and smash his way downward into the earth or through cliff sides. The trailer suggests a wealth of secrets and treasures to uncover underground.

Although much of the gameplay occurs underground, you'll explore diverse settings, including forests, canyons, lagoons, and frozen tundras. Staying true to the series, there are also side-scrolling sections and mine cart sequences. It looks like an exciting adventure. For more details, read our hands-on preview of Donkey Kong Bananza.
