Announced during today’s Nitnendo Direct, Donkey Kong Bananza is getting DLC today with DK Island & Emerald Rush. DK Island is a new level modeled after Donkey Kong’s home from Donkey Kong Country, complete with his giant head. Donkey Kong’s family will also be hanging out on the island.

If you’ve beaten the game, Void Kong will also offer to hire you, which leads to the Emerald Rush mode. Though not explicitly called a roguelike mode by Nintendo, it allows DK and Pauline to partake in runs where they have to collect emeralds in a certain amount of time. Collecting fossils and Banandium gems let’s DK choose upgrades that he can use on that run. Along with being able to play the mode on DK Island, the other levels will also have Emerald Rush runs. Performing well in Emerald Rush awards new fashion options and statues that you can place around DK’s home.
Along with the DLC being available today, a demo for Donkey Kong Bananza will also be available. You can read Game Informer’s Donkey Kong Bananza review by following the link.
