Okay, so here we go. Grab your Switch 2, ’cause you gotta check this out. Current mission: dive into the planet’s core or something—details shmetails.
Right, straight to it—banana. Yeah, you heard me. Imagine shouting “Oh, banana!” Seriously, there’s something about Donkey Kong Bananza. Sure, there’s the whole destroying-the-terrain thing, feeling like you’re flying, transforming into what my brain insists on calling “bananza” forms—just roll with it. But really, there’s this whole vibe to the new Donkey Kong. It’s like, he’s no longer this sneaky dude from Donkey Kong Country. Nope, he’s all about that head-empty, heart-full gig, loving life, bananas, and his buddy Pauline.
Now, picture this: Pauline’s kinda losing her mojo, right? Then she looks at DK’s huge, goofy smile that somehow screams “I totally believe in you!” And bam—she’s belting out tunes like nobody’s business. Honestly, we all need a pal like that, don’t we? That one friend whose belief in us is so uncomplicated, it’s like looking in their eyes and seeing a mirror where fear doesn’t exist. Seriously, iconic stuff.
Anyway, super stoked Donkey Kong is back. And not to sound dramatic or anything, but this might be the game that shows him at his absolute best. Just saying. – Carolyn Petit
