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.

To scan amiibo in Donkey Kong Bananza, press the Plus button to open the main menu and then select the amiibo icon. Then, you just need to hold the amiibo against the right control stick on the Joy-Con or on the center of the Pro Controller, against the Nintendo Switch 2 logo to scan it.

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.
