Donkey Kong bananza is an intensely strange (and weird) game. The whole premise is not only nonsensical, but positively surreal: you are a monkey that wants to eat crystal banks, but another monkey pushes you down into the earth, and you’re forced to reach the center of earth so your wish is granted, stalker-style. The way through the planet isn’t an earthy meetup with dwarfs and worms, it’s more like killy’s journey through the Dyson sphere in blame!, with every layer being very different, populated by new people who all don’t seem to fit (giraffe stones who are cowboys, zebras (non-stone) who live in the arctic). Some of the enemy (and friend) designs seem nearly grotesque. Much more interesting than expected.
