Donkey Kong Bananza is a 3D action platformer where you can dig holes, build bridges, and experiment in other ways as you burrow through various whimsical worlds on your way toward the planet core. Nintendo was so happy with its deformation tech that it decided to spin it off into an entirely separate artist mode.

There's also a sense of persistence in Bananza. You can create little home bases that let you rest up and change outfits. You'll meander off and come back to locations. Mario Odyssey had some of this too, but Bananza feels more lived in.

The Donkey Kong Bananza sublayers and levels are massively varied both in terms of theme and size, with some being quick jaunts to find a way to go deeper or sprawling levels with all sorts of objectives. You'll get to delve into the likes of the idyllic Resort Layer, toxic Forest Layer, dusty Canyon Layer, and many more.
