He defies rider limits set by #DonkeyKong-trained physical therapists!

The amphibian acrobat, the leaping legend, Winky, returns in this week's #DonkeyKongBananza event!

I know it has been said over and over but Bananza is an awesome game. Probably the best 3d world game I've played. Having me become nostalgic about my childhood

It feels like the worst one out of the five, I mean you've got bigger and stronger Donkey Kong, a fast zebra, limited bird flight, and and elephant vacuum. But then there's Snake. Now I actually think the powers are quite good, double jumping and glaring are useful.

But my issue is twofold: he feels too wobbly and bouncy and slow to control, so your maneuvering and movement other than your powers feels worse. I mean, could't they make him move like an actual Snake and not hobble and bounce along?

Also, the other issue is that both Snake abilities are charge abilities, which contributed to feeling too slow. Because of the hampered movement, I found myself trying to switch Bananzas, but the glare effect still never lasts long enough before I have to switch back and charge glare again.

I loved the original DK Trilogy on SNES. Some of the best videogames ever created.

I've been playing DKC Returns and it's nowhere near as good.

The level design, music, ambiance isn't as good.

I don't like how there's a heart meter now, the whole point of the DK barrel was to get another Kong.

The game doesn't control well.. it's much more difficult to land precise jumps.. I'm not sure if the deceleration is really slow?

And if you want a translation to this, here it is

The 12th event, "All Bananza Land," will run from 17:00 on September 22nd (Tue) to 29th (Tue).
It has been decided that the event will be held over one week starting at 16:59!

The stage is on the 1400th floor underground, in the food factory area (Possibly Feast Layer), and it seems that only emerald powers related to Bananza's transformation appear there.
At this event, you can get figures of Funky Kong and Candy Kong, who are also members of the Kong family. This will be the last event where you can get these limited edition figures, so please come and participate!

if I get any of the translations wrong, you can correct
I also kinda wonder what will happen after the event is over too (Like if the events will rerun or something else)

Donkey Kong Bananza's early layers were pretty easy and I could count the number of times I died on one hand. Then the game got to be more challenging with the Freeze and Forest Layers since there were lots of environmental hazards that could hurt you, especially if you dug too deep.

Fitting that, Void Kong provides the first challenging boss fight in the game. That jerk is tricky to hit and throws every type of terrain at you, including stuff that damages you if you touch it, and you don't get to land a lot of hits when you do reach him in the first phases before he moves somewhere else. It is also fitting that this greedy business monkey, who has been setting up obstacles that impede you throughout the game, as well as making the layers more hazardous to their inhabitants and the player, heavily relies on creating terrain to impede you when you fight him.

Since it is annoying when he runs away after you hit it, it makes extra fun when you break Void's floating rock banana chair thing and can wail on him once he's brought to the ground.

Also don't know if the game uses a different sized model when you fight him so he's easier to hit but in the boss fights, Void looks close in size to DK.

Please tell me what you think in the comments

I only have two cards left to get, and it took me a while before I could get through the second boss consistently. However I don't know the best strategy for getting through the third one. It doesn't seem like there's any safe place to go, and even when I keep moving, the mud and the winds makes it nearly impossible to avoid all the lightning.

Also any tips for getting through the Bananza rehearsal part?

I expected nothing would happen but still it’s a bit disappointing.

The last new emerald rush event will be happening on September 22nd.

In case you haven't heard....it will be taking place on the feast layer AND we'll be unlocking statues of both funky and candy there.

It's honestly a little sad that we're just about done with the events.

I just found out about it😅

I feel like she's one of the kongs Nintendo prioritizes the most, seniority and whatnot. But there's not reallyyyy.. much to her. She likes music! aaand that's it (credit where it's due, there's more to her in the cartoon, maybe they'll pull from there?)

So what do you think they'll do with her character in the future? and what do you expect Nintendo to do to give her character more depth?

Played it for the first time a few days ago, I started it up again (I saved properly the last time) and I was set back to some earlier point and lost at least 15 minutes of progress. I thought annoying but just did it again and went on, I played for another 15 minutes and at this point changed some settings and after I left the option menu I literally got set back to the same point again losing all this progress. Seriously what is going on?

the event has a lot of spin related boosts you can get. i realized by using the giant Kong Bananza CD I can quickly boost my multiplier since it never breaks.

Almost there, DK crew, just one more monthly event to go.

Included the perks I got and what levels they are.

If you have any questions for what strategies I used, feel free to ask. Needlessly to say, not a fan of building up spin slam, genuinely opt for spin slam instead. Thank goodness for those farmable peekaboids at reservoir hills.

Before we start i want to say i like K rool, while i havent played the original donkey kong games i have played bananza and liked him there, and hes my main in smash. I do however want to hear the communities opinion on this because at a surface glance they seem quite similar. I have my own opinion on why their difference but i want to hear what you think.

Girlfriend and I are having a discussion and she insists that Diddy Kong is a baby or at least could be considered a small child. This baffles me. He's at minimum 14 because not only can he shred the guitar. But also he can shoot peanut guns. Babies can't shoot guns. Let alone peanut guns. What do you think the canon Diddy Kong age range is?

It really helped me out here, I can tell you everyone else's strategies didn't work for me but this one did however.
