00:00Golden Bananas! The discovery of the century. Made right here on Ingot Isle.
00:09This is excellent news for number one banana fan, Donkey Kong.
00:14However, just as he's about to enjoy the notable bananas, a sudden tempest sends him deep down underground.
00:23That's when DK meets a talented young singer named Colleen.
00:29Now, Donkey Kong just wants bananas.
00:34And Pauline wants to find a way back home to the surface.
00:38It's said that one's wish will be granted by reaching the planet core.
00:43So the unlikely duo set off on a strange subterranean adventure.
00:48Donkey Kong Bonanza!
00:52The story takes place in the underground world, where the scenery changes the deeper you go.
00:58Some layers are so spectacular that it's hard to believe you're underground.
01:04DK can run, jump, and climb through each environment.
01:14Using his incredible physical prowess, you can freely move in any direction.
01:19But that's not all.
01:21Almost anything in your path.
01:23You can smash, crash, and bash.
01:35Barrel through enemies, walls, and other obstacles to collect golden bananas known as Banandium Gems.
01:45More on those later.
01:46You never know what you'll discover in the underground world.
01:52So carve your own path with DK's abilities.
02:02Pauline's singing, though.
02:12Now that can do something special.
02:15We can!
02:17She can make Donkey Kong transform.
02:23With incredible destructive power, even hard terrain poses no problem.
02:30Plow through the world and smash as much as possible with the powerful Call Bonanza.
02:36Plus, DK can transform into a zebra.
02:40He's as speedy as he is striped.
02:43He can even breeze over water or crumbling pathways.
02:48That's the swift Zebra Bonanza!
02:53Oh yeah!
02:54He can also turn into an ostrich.
02:56A flying ostrich!
02:58Spread your wings and soar through the sky.
03:01You can use updrafts to gain more air.
03:07Then, drop egg bombs from great heights to send enemies scattering.
03:13That's right!
03:14It's Ostrich Bonanza!
03:16Get creative and swap between transformations as you adventure to the planet core!
03:30Standing in our hero's way is The Void Company.
03:34The mightiest mining operation both above ground and below.
03:39And they're heading straight down to the planet core.
03:44Void Co. blocked off all the routes to the lower layers, so no one could reach them.
03:53DK and Pauline will come face to face with the enemies guarding these routes.
03:57So use all the power at your disposal to take on a host of powerful foes.
04:07As you explore the underground world, you'll come across ancient ruins.
04:12These hold challenges where you can earn Banandium Gyms.
04:18Challenges include time-limited battles, side-scrolling stages, and more!
04:29Keep your eyes peeled to find the Banandium Gyms.
04:38As you collect Banandium Gyms, you'll gain Skill Points.
04:42Use them to power up Donkey Kong to match your playstyle.
04:47Or use Skill Points to learn new skills.
04:54Plus, by gathering fossils, you can trade them for fashionable attire.
05:01And customize the perfect fits for Donkey Kong and Pauline.
05:05Almost every article of clothing comes with its own benefits.
05:10So, mix and match your look to suit the situation.
05:17By sharing a Joy-Con 2 controller or using a second set,
05:21you and a pal can control Donkey Kong and Pauline separately
05:24to buddy up in local co-op play.
05:27As Pauline, you can unleash vocal blasts using Joy-Con 2 mouse controls.
05:31You can also copy the material of nearby terrain to give your vocals even more texture.
05:38By working together, even tough enemies don't stand a chance.
05:48This game also supports game share.
05:51Even if only one player has the game,
05:53they can quickly share it to another player so they can join on their own system.
05:56It can also be shared locally to a Nintendo Switch system.
06:02Plus, you can play online between Nintendo Switch 2 systems using Game Share via Game Chat.
06:13If you need a little help with all the platforming action,
06:17Assist Mode is the way to play.
06:18It guides you in the right direction,
06:21Halves the damage you receive, and more.
06:25Assist Mode supports you in your adventure to be the best Kong you can be.
06:31Outside of the main game, there's a mode where you can carve stone using mouse controls called DK Artist.
06:39Rotate to paint.
06:41Carve material.
06:42Or add some back on.
06:44Give it a try and sculpt to your heart's content.
06:46Look at us, you big small.
06:47Look at us, you big small.
06:49Two, two, three, four, four, four.
07:04I love to sing more than anything.
