Bananas are the name of the game in Donkey Kong Bananza. You can find giant bananas everywhere in the game, and they’re used to upgrade Donkey Kong through a skill tree. This will expand DK’s abilities and mechanics, making your adventure that much more fun and accessible as you progress.
While there’s no doubt millions have set out to snag every single banana in the game, it’s not surprising to know that others have taken on a self-imposed mission to skip as many as possible. It turns out you can run through the entire game beginning to end without picking up a single banana, as one player has just completed such a run.
Over on Twitter, Akfamilyhome has announced that they’ve rolled credits on Donkey Kong Bananza without picking up a single banana. That obviously makes the game’s difficult spike quite considerably the further you get into the adventure, offering a unique challenge for players looking to squeeze every last bit of excitement from the game.
While Nintendo didn’t include anything in the game for those who look to dodge every banana they come across, doing so will still test your skills due to the lack of upgrades and helpful features. If you’re sad that your time with DKB has already come to a closer, perhaps a no-banana run is just what you need!
