Description
Bash through just about anything with the raw power of Donkey Kong! Crash through walls, carve tunnels with your fists, punch straight down into the ground, and even tear off chunks of terrain to swing around and throw in groundbreaking exploration—the more you smash, the more areas open up for you to move through.
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!
