Monthly In-game Events Are Coming To Donkey Kong Bananza: Dk Island + Emerald Rush

Thursday, 23. October 2025
Starting October 28th, Donkey Kong Bananza will feature monthly in-game events on Nintendo Switch 2. Players who own the paid DLC DK Island + Emerald Rush and have finished the main game’s story can participate in limited-time events to earn exclusive in-game statues.

During each event period, players can tackle a special Emerald Rush challenge that shakes up the usual formula by setting some fixed conditions, such as the Emerald Perks they can obtain from fossils and Banandium Gems. When selecting an Emerald Perk from three choices, the options presented to players will remain the same during each run.

Achieving the challenge’s target scores will be rewarded with certain statues and Banandium Chips, which can be exchanged for standard statues. Players can retry the challenge as many times as they’d like within the event period.

The first event, “Chip Fever", will take place from October 28th at 9:00 CET until November 4th at 8:59 CET . During this time, players can smash their way through DK Island for a chance to collect statues of Enguarde and Kong Bananza.

Donkey Kong Bananza is an all-new 3D platforming game available exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2. DK punches, grabs, tosses, climbs, smashes and flexes his strength as he explores the depths of this wild action adventure together with his new friend Pauline and sets course for the Planet Core, which legend says has the power to grant your heart’s desire.
