The announcement of Donkey Kong Bananza during the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct surprised many who anticipated a Super Mario Odyssey sequel. The gameplay emphasizes chaos, allowing Donkey Kong to destroy his environment rather than engage in classic platforming. Players control Donkey Kong as he runs through a mine, breaking objects and collecting items with a variety of destructive actions. This new take diverges significantly from meditative platforming typically associated with Mario games, leading to a unique and intense gaming experience that was both exhilarating and potentially overwhelming, even causing motion sickness in some players.
The gameplay consists of Donkey Kong just sprinting through the mine breaking literally everything around him. There was very little platforming involved, with much more of a focus on wrecking shit.
Seconds into controlling Donkey Kong, I was set loose in a mine staffed by very sad chimpanzees. And no, I wasn't there to save them.
