What Is Donkey Kong Bananza?

"Donkey Kong Bananza" marks the first new 3D Donkey Kong game since the iconic 1999 N64 title, "Donkey Kong 64." A standout feature is Donkey Kong's new digging ability, enabling him to smash and pound his way through the ground or cliff sides, uncovering hidden secrets and treasures underground. The game spans a variety of settings, from forests and canyons to lagoons and frozen tundras, complemented by classic side-scrolling and mine cart sections. It promises to be a thrilling experience.
