Nintendo has announced that the Donkey Kong Bananza DLC, DK Island & Emerald Rush, will add a Super Mario Bros. collaboration later today. The collaboration will release in four waves.
The collaboration adds a new Mario costume for Donkey Kong and a Luigi skin for Pauline. It also adds coins as the major collectible instead of emeralds in the Emerald Rush mode. The first wave lasts from today until June 30. The second wave will start on July 14 and end on July 21. The third wave starts on August 4 and ends on August 11. The fourth and final wave starts on August 25 and ends on September 1. Check out the trailer showcasing the Donkey Kong Bananza DLC and Super Mario Bros. collaboration below:
Nintendo released the Donkey Kong Bananza DK Island & Emerald Rush DLC on September 12 with a new explorable area and new challenges for existing layers. The release was followed up by the version 2.0.1 update, which fixed numerous issues in the game. For example, the update fixed a disc reward for collecting all the balloons in Bananza Rehearsal and remedied some issues involving Pauline’s shout voices.
Lastly, Final Weapon reviewed Donkey Kong Bananza and gave it a 4.5 out of 5 score, stating that the game is “an immaculate return to 3D for DK. Bananza offers creativity seen in very few games in our industry have achieved. Each Layer is expertly crafted, Donkey Kong is endlessly fun to control, and the narrative is surprisingly great. While the general lack of difficulty, especially with bosses, leaves a bit to be desired, Donkey Kong Bananza is one of my favorite Nintendo games of the last decade. Let’s just hope this marks a new era of consistent Donkey Kong games.”
