About
Donkey Kong Bananza is an adventure title released on Nintendo Switch in July 2025. The game has been supported with live events since launch, though that era is drawing to a close. The final Emerald Rush event, titled "Bananza Antics," launched in late September 2026 and introduced Funky Kong and Candy Kong as featured characters. This marks the conclusion of the game's post-launch event cycle, signaling the end of active development support.
