See at Amazon

Donkey Kong Bananza is back on sale for $63 at Amazon. The 10% discount was previously offered last week and the week after launch, but those deals disappeared in a flash. It's possible that this matching deal will be gone soon, too. As of August 19 at 8:45 AM ET, the $63 price is still active. You could put the money you're saving toward the new Amiibo figure featuring DK and Pauline.

Developed by the team behind Super Mario Odyssey, Donkey Kong Bananza is earning fantastic reviews, including a 9/10 from GameSpot. It currently holds a 90 Metascore on review aggregator Metacritic (a GameSpot sister site).

Donkey Kong Bananza

$69 (was $70)

Like other first-party Nintendo Switch 2 games, the full Donkey Kong Bananza experience is on the game card. Many third-party Switch 2 physical releases include Game-Key Cards, which look the same visually, but require at least part of the game file to be downloaded to your console. Donkey Kong Bananza's file size was originally listed as 10GB, but it's actually only 8.7GB. Outside of any patches, you won't need to download any of those gigabytes.

The $63 deal is only at Amazon, but Bananza is in stock for $69 at Walmart and $70 at Best Buy, Target, and GameStop.

Donkey Kong & Pauline Amiibo

$30

The Donkey Kong & Pauline Amiibo costs $30, the same price as the recently released Legend of Zelda Amiibo figures for Switch 2.

Scanning the Donkey Kong & Pauline Amiibo lets you unlock Pauline's Diva Dress early. You'll also earn Kong Tile power-ups.

All Nintendo Amiibo figures are compatible with Bananza and can be scanned to unlock gold Kong Tiles.

Donkey Kong Bananza + Amiibo Bundle

$98

Walmart's Donkey Kong Bananza bundle comes with the physical edition of the Switch 2 exclusive and the Donkey Kong & Pauline Amiibo figure for $98. You're saving $2 overall compared to MSRP for both items combined. It's a $1 savings versus buying the game at Walmart ($69) and Amiibo ($30) separately.

If you haven't picked up the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller, it's a great gamepad for Bananza. It has a pair of remappable back buttons, which come in handy for games like Donkey Kong Bananza, Switch 2 Editions of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, and many other games. We'd also recommend checking out the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Bluetooth Controller, a $70 alternative with four extra remappable buttons, trigger locks, premium TMR thumbsticks, and a slew of customization features that can be saved to three custom profiles. It also has a turbo button--here's why turbo is super useful in Donkey Kong Bananza.

Most notably, Donkey Kong's Tree House is in stock for retail price ($60). The 555-piece set had been sold out for most of the year. Donkey Kong's Tree House is one of two Lego sets that comes with a buildable DK figure.

The other Lego Mario set that includes a Donkey Kong figure is the 387-piece DK Jumbo set. Part of the Lego Mario Kart launch lineup from earlier this year, DK Jumbo is up for grabs for $29.49 (was $35).

All of the Donkey Kong Lego sets interact with the Lego Super Mario Adventures starter sets.
