Nintendo has announced a new Emerald Rush event for Donkey Kong™ Bananza: DK Island & Emerald Rush DLC called “So Strong It’s Funny.” The event is scheduled to run from Tuesday, November 25 at 12:00 a.m. PT until Monday, December 1 at 11:59 p.m. PT. During this period, players will have the chance to collect statues of Lanky Kong and Chunky Kong, adding new collectible items to the game.
Unlike standard Emerald Rush events, where the Skills obtained from Banandium Gems are randomized, this event features predetermined elements. This approach gives players a more structured experience compared with the usual gameplay randomness, allowing for consistent rewards during the event.
Event Details and DLC Access
Donkey Kong™ Bananza: DK Island & Emerald Rush is available for Nintendo Switch 2 at a standard price of $19.99. Players interested in both the base game and the DLC can purchase the Donkey Kong™ Bananza Bundle, which includes the base game and the DK Island & Emerald Rush DLC, for $89.98. The Emerald Rush event is exclusive to the DLC, making participation contingent on owning this expansion.
The event adds a focused opportunity for players to expand their in-game collection while experiencing a variation of the Emerald Rush mode. Nintendo encourages fans to participate before the event concludes on December 1, as the opportunity to collect the Lanky and Chunky Kong statues will not be repeated in this form.
What Players Can Expect During the Event
The main feature of the event is the ability to acquire the Lanky and Chunky Kong statues. While Emerald Rush events typically involve random rewards, this edition ensures specific outcomes, which can be appealing to players aiming to complete their collections. This controlled system also allows for a predictable gameplay loop, giving players clear goals and rewards during the event period.
