If you’ve been itching for a new adventure on your Nintendo Switch 2, Donkey Kong Bananza might just be the perfect excuse to smash that “Add to Cart” button—especially now that it’s $10 off. Woot currently has the game listed at $59.99, down from its usual $69.99, and Prime members even get free shipping thrown in for good measure.
This isn’t just another Donkey Kong romp. Bananza takes the iconic ape underground, literally, with a fresh 3D platforming twist. The hook? You’re not just running and jumping—you’re smashing through walls, carving tunnels, and tearing chunks of terrain to swing around in a way that feels both chaotic and groundbreaking. The more you smash, the more of the subterranean world opens up, revealing everything from arid canyons to lush forests and icy tundras. It’s a clever mechanic that makes exploration feel like a reward in itself.
And Donkey Kong isn’t alone this time. Pauline, the original damsel from Donkey Kong lore, steps into the spotlight as a full-fledged partner. Her singing powers unlock “Bananza Transformations,” letting DK morph into different forms with unique abilities—like charging through obstacles in Kong form or galloping at breakneck speed as a Zebra. It’s a quirky, unexpected twist that adds variety to the gameplay. Plus, if you’ve got a friend handy, two-player co-op lets Pauline’s voice blast enemies and terrain while DK does the heavy lifting.
Of course, no Donkey Kong game is complete without a villain, and here it’s Void Kong, the greedy head of Void Company, racing you to the Planet Core—a mythical source said to grant any desire. The stakes are high, the bananas are plentiful, and the action is, well, bananas. It’s classic DK energy with a modern spin.
So why jump on this deal now? For one, Nintendo titles rarely see steep discounts, especially new releases tied to the Switch 2. A $10 saving might not sound massive, but for a game with this much replay value—and co-op potential—it’s a solid grab. Add in Woot’s 90-day limited warranty and the fact that Prime members get free shipping, and it’s a no-brainer for anyone looking to expand their Switch 2 library without paying full price.
If you’re ready to smash through walls, team up with Pauline, and race Void Kong to the Planet Core, this deal is worth snagging before it disappears. After all, Donkey Kong doesn’t wait around—and neither do Woot deals.
