How many Donkey Kong Bananza layers are there? Every playable area
Donkey Kong Bananza is home to a number of climes (and climbs), and each of them are stacked on top of each other on a journey down to the planet's core. (Image: Nintendo) Donkey Kong Bananza is a game with numerous layers to explore, and while they may not all be equally captivating, there's always a handful of Banandium Gems to discover. Unsurprisingly, Donkey Kong Bananza is enthralling gamers across the globe. When we found out that the Super Mario Odyssey team was behind this new destructible platformer, we instantly knew it would become a contemporary classic. Players are already taking Donkey Kong and Pauline on an immensely satisfying journey to the world's deepest corners. The game is making waves both in its literal destruction and its innovative gameplay features. Despite hopes for it to be among the Nintendo Switch 2 launch games, the excitement for this platformer hasn't waned as it joins the lineup of 2025's Nintendo Switch 2 titles. What's truly intriguing is the ability to spend hours smashing around in any given layer of the underground without ever growing bored. And if you do, there's a wealth of Donkey Kong Banaza layers to break through, each with unique climates, inhabitants and atmospheres. So, how many layers are there? Here's everything you need to know about the Donkey Kong Bananza layers.

Each of the Donkey Kong Bananza layers has its own unique function, such as the tutorial-style layout of Ingot Isle and The Divide's option of two different layers to reach. However, there are a total of 17 layers for you to delve into. You're not required to unlock a specific number of Banandium Gems from each layer to advance, so feel free to race through the game and Teeleport between layers to boost your stats. As you delve deeper, though, we recommend increasing your punch strength as the terrain becomes tougher. Here's a rundown of the Donkey Kong Bananza layers: Ingot Isle – Sublayers 1-10 – Sublayers 1-10 Lagoon Layer – Sublayers 100-102 – Sublayers 100-102 Hilltop Layer – Sublayer 200 – Sublayer 200 Canyon Layer – Sublayers 300-302 – Sublayers 300-302 The Divide – Sublayer 400 – Sublayer 400 Freezer Layer – Sublayers 500-503 – Sublayers 500-503 Forest Layer – Sublayers 600-602 – Sublayers 600-602 The Junction – Sublayer 700 – Sublayer 700 Restore Layer – Sublayer 800 – Sublayer 800 Tempest Layer – Sublayers 900-902 – Sublayers 900-902 Landfill Layer – Sublayers 1,000-1,001 – Sublayers 1,000-1,001 Racing Layer – Sublayer 1,100 – Sublayer 1,100 Radiance Layer – Sublayers 1,200-1,204 – Sublayers 1,200-1,204 Groove Layer – Sublayer 1,300 – Sublayer 1,300 Feast Layer – Sublayers 1,400-1,401 – Sublayers 1,400-1,401 Forbidden Layer – Sublayer 1,500 – Sublayer 1,500 Planet Core – Sublayers 1,600-1,609 Each layer in Donkey Kong Bananza has its own distinct features, and it's worth noting that some have fewer sublayers than others. So don't gauge your progress based on the layer you're on – and certainly don't assume there are only ten layers as some players have already discovered. There are plenty of Donkey Kong Bananza layers to explore, each offering different climates and opportunities to find those crucial Banandium Gems. So roll up your sleeves and start digging.

Sony's gamer-friendly X90L TV is on sale for a new low price
If you're excited to smash your way through the excellent Donkey Kong Banaza on the Nintendo Switch 2, you should play it on a TV that takes full advantage of the system's ability to play games in 4K or up to 120 frames per second. Thankfully, Sony's X90L, which checks both boxes, is currently on sale at Amazon, B&H Photo, and Best Buy in its 65-inch configuration for around $898 ($301 off), an all-time low price. The X90L is a full-array LED TV, which means it has significantly better backlighting and contrast than an edge-lit set. You won't see as much blooming — aka, unnatural-looking pockets of brightness around a bright object — which can be distracting when you're watching a movie or playing a game set in a dimly lit area. The TV also runs on Sony's Cognitive Processor XR, which automatically adjusts color and contrast based on whatever it is you're watching or playing. In terms of specs, two of the TV's HDMI ports are HDMI 2.1, which means they can accept a 4K video source at up to 120Hz and are well-suited for current-gen consoles. If you connect a PS5, the TV will switch to the 'Game' picture mode, enable 'Auto HDR Tone Mapping,' and turn on ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) to minimize latency, which matters most if you play fast-paced first-person shooters or platformers. If you're a cinephile, you'll enjoy Sony Pictures Core, a streaming service exclusive to Bravia TVs that lets you download and stream 4K movies at near-4K Blu-ray quality. Its library is limited, but Sony includes five credits for movie downloads and a 12-month subscription to stream titles from the library.
