Swinging exclusively onto the Nintendo Switch 2 system on July 17, this all-new 3D platforming action adventure game lets DK use Bananza Transformations (empowered by Pauline’s singing voice) to temporarily boost his strength, speed and more as the pair dig their way through the world’s layers!

Smash your way to the Planet Core before the greedy Void Company gets there first and Void Kong claims all the world’s riches for himself! Along the way, DK and Pauline will unearth Banandium Gems, Banandium Gold and other collectible surprises that can earn them more beneficial rewards.

You and a friend can also control Donkey Kong and Pauline separately in local co-op play, and the game also supports GameShare¹ – if only one player has the game, they can quickly share it with another player so they can join on their own system!
