Donkey Kong Bananza marks the iconic character's return to a fully 3D adventure, diverging into a cathartic terrain destruction system. This game serves as a spiritual successor to Super Mario Odyssey, capturing joyful movement and exploration. With its innovative use of controller buttons dedicated to punches that destructively alter the terrain, players are rewarded with collectible rubble for their efforts. The mechanics highlight the capabilities of the Switch 2, positioning Bananza as a compelling and engaging 3D platformer within Nintendo's roster.
"The terrain destruction system that most sets Donkey Kong Bananza apart from previous 3D platformers is incredibly cathartic, allowing quick reductions of well-ordered chunks of dirt and rock into collectible golden rubble."
"Donkey Kong Bananza captures the same sense of joyful movement and exploration as the best Mario games, while adding in an extremely satisfying terrain destruction system that shows off the Switch 2 hardware to great effect."
