As previously detailed, Donkey Kong has several abilities to challenge the Void Company and get to the center of the planet. For example, he can dive punch, hand slap, surf, and perform many maneuvers while destroying and traversing obstacles in the way. Additionally, Donkey Kong Bananza has several modes. This includes co-op play that you can do via GameShare or locally. The mode allows one player to play as Pauline and unleash projectiles of destruction using the mouse functionality, and you can also carve items from stone in the DK Artist mode.
