The big guy is back-and he's not alone!
Explore a vast underground world with Donkey Kong and Pauline-by smashing your way through it!
With DK's brute force and Pauline's special singing abilities, you can crash through walls, carve tunnels with your fists, punch straight down into the ground, and even tear off chunks of terrain to swing around and throw in groundbreaking exploration. The more you smash, the more areas open up to explore.
Take a deep dive into fun
Join DK and his companion, Pauline, as they delve deep underground-and discover that this subterranean world is a lot more than it seems on the surface. Uncover a variety of environments such as arid canyons, lush forests, and frigid tundra as you peel back the world's layers!
Pair up with Pauline
Pauline is a 13-year-old girl with a powerful voice-so powerful it can blast rocks and even bestow powers on Donkey Kong!
Bananza time!
Pauline's singing can empower DK with different Bananza Transformations, each with its own unique power. Pump up DK's strength, speed, and more!
Underground folks
Donkey Kong and Pauline meet a lot of interesting characters along the way-some might even help them out on their adventure!
Void Company
The Planet Core is said to have the power to grant any desire-and Void Kong, the ruthless head of the greedy Void Company, will stop at nothing to reach it and claim all the world's riches for himself.Smash your way to the Planet Core before the greedy Void Company gets there first!
Team up with a friend
In 2-player co-op mode, one player controls Donkey Kong while the other can be Pauline, riding on DK's shoulder, using her powerful vocal blasts to clear a path and zap baddies. (You can even try Joy-Con™2 mouse controls for more precise aiming!) Pauline can also copy nearby terrain to add some environmental umph to her blasts. When DK and Pauline work together, the bad guys don't stand a chance!
