Donkey Kong Bananza players have managed to blow it wide open in less than a week, and the speedrun potential is bananas: "It's wild how much of the game you can bypass with the right tricks"
Donkey Kong Bananza players are pushing the game's speedrunning potential to its limits. It hasn't even been a week yet, and already someone has figured out how to get to the endgame without unlocking over half of the Bananza transformations.
Super Mario Odyssey showed that Nintendo EPD Tokyo has the sauce to create some incredible speedrunning games thanks to their in-depth movement systems; and players were showing that off on day one of Donkey Kong Bananza with a skip for the Canyon Layer being discovered. The game features five Bananza transformations that let DK take on the form of a superpowered beast, and the abilities gained through these are integral for completing their specific areas… at least they're meant to be.
Spoilers for the final Bananza transformations and a screenshot of an endgame area follow.
In the time since Bananza's launch, it's gotten even more intense, as now players have discovered it's technically possible to beat Donkey Kong Bananza without unlocking a number of the Bananza transformations. In a post on Reddit, a user has posted a thread titled "The amount of sequence breaks in this game is crazy" alongside a screenshot of Pauline and DK hanging out in the Planet Core Layer. However, upon closer inspection, the screenshot reveals that they only have the first Bananza transformation (Kong) and the second-to-last one (Elephant) displayed on their HUD.
The amout of sequence breaks in this game is crazy from r/donkeykong
"Just did a second run of DK Bananza trying to skip as much content as possible and I ended up unlocking only 2 Bananzas in the entire game." The user said, "It's wild how much of the game you can bypass with the right tricks. There are also entire layers you can skip. It's a really fun and surprisingly strategic way to experience the game differently."
While this wasn't a speedrun, it definitely shows off the potential of what Donkey Kong Bananza speedruns could be with this much of the game able to be casually bypassed. I'm sure someone will find a way to skip other Bananza's at this rate.
Granted, the final area of the game seems pretty much impossible without these, as there's one segment that requires the Zebra Bananza to reach the final boss, but I'm sure that'll be figured out in no time, too.
Donkey Kong Bananza credits reignite a popular Mario Kart World fan theory that the beloved gorilla is getting his own expansion in the Switch 2 racer.

Bride furious after groom invites parents to crash honeymoon — and friends are calling it a red flag: ‘He isn't mature enough to be married'
She's ready to say 'I Do' — but not to the groom's mommy and daddy, too. After swapping rings, the cherry on top of most holy matrimonies is a hot honeymoon holiday for the enamored newlyweds. However, that sweet escape can quickly turn sour if the in-laws tag along, so fears one freaked-out bride-to-be. 'We're getting married in [November] on [a] property that my [fiancé], his sister and their parents own together,' said the distressed damsel, 22, to Reddit's anonymous 'Am I The A—hole' community. 'Everyone is leaving the day after the wedding so we can honeymoon for a week there,' she added. 'That is, everyone except his parents.' While the Gen Z admittedly 'loves' her future mother- and father-in-law — who live on the 40-acre property she and the groom, 24, also call home — she's not too keen on them cramping her style during their post-vows vacation. Her objection isn't rooted in bratty bridezilla behavior. Instead, it's all about setting boundaries. Unfortunately for young couples tying the knot, Gen X and Baby Boomer parents are now horning in on their honeymoon fun en masse. It's a phenomenon that's rising as a cringy, controversial travel trend. And although having elderly chaperones on a romantic getaway might not be as egregious as a 'toxic' mother-of-the-groom who wears an all-white gown on her son's big day, or one who splashes the bride with red paint, it's still being deemed a 'red flag' by whistleblowers online. 'If [the 22-year-old] marries this guy, she will spend her entire life either with her in-laws, or arguing with her 'husband' about her in-laws. He isn't mature enough to be married as he is still his parents' child,' cautioned a concerned commenter, regarding the groom's unwillingness to disinvite his folks to the honeymoon. In her digital cry for help, the beleaguered bride explained, 'When I found out they were planning on staying, I told my [fiancé] I didn't want them there.' 'He said it wasn't a big deal. I told him it was weird and I wanted it to just be us,' she continued. 'I said he needs to tell his parents to leave at the same time everyone else does,' said the Zoomer. 'He told me no since his parents are part owners (even though his sister is leaving with everyone else).' The stalemate left the nearly-wed feeling 'invalidated,' prompting her to wonder if 'I crossed a line by telling him he needs to set boundaries with his parents.' But social media supporters assured the heartbroken belle that her would-be Prince Charming is being childish. AITA for telling my fiancé to set boundaries since his parents are going to our honeymoon? byu/Signal-Paint-7913 inAmItheAsshole 'This is a red flag [there] will always be 2 extras in your marriage and you will NEVER be a COUPLE,' warned a Redditor. 'Don't do this to yourself! Life is way too short.' 'Why does HE want his parents on his honeymoon?,' questioned a skeptic. 'If your partner doesn't want to be alone with you on your honeymoon, they just aren't that into you.' And a no-nonsense critic encouraged the bride to surprise her guy with a spicy ultimatum, suggesting she say, 'I plan on us having sex three times a day for the entire week. Would you rather do that or have your parents there?' 'Because you can't have both.' Solve the daily Crossword
