Descenders Next is a sequel of sorts to Descenders, but it's pretty different. It's still about going down hills really fast, but it's no longer about doing so on pushbikes: instead we have snowboards and mountainboards.

The world is yours to destroy in Donkey Kong Bananza, but it doesn’t mean you should kick, slap, or punch without a rhythm.

Bramble Country is a challenge level in Donkey Kong Bananza that continues one of the game’s patterns: Sticking one Banandium Gem in an easy-to-miss but hard-to-reach spot. This one is slightly more devious than the other challenge levels, though. You can’t use your hand slap sonar to show where it’s hiding. In this Donkey Kong Bananza guide, we’ll show you where to find all bananas in Bramble Country. Bramble Country...

The Junction is mostly just a small pathway forward and it’ll initially be covered with void goo. As you clean it up, more bananas and areas will reveal themselves,...
