With the ‘Rattlin’ Snake Bananza’ event firmly in the rear-view, Nintendo has announced what’s next for Donkey Kong Bananza’s DLC challenges.

Next up is the ‘Kong Bananza Returns’ event, which gets underway next week, on 9th June, and will be sticking around until 16th.

As the name suggests, there are some Donkey Kong Country Returns-themed prizes up for grabs this time around. Those who meet the special Emerald Rush quotas can net Tiki Kong and Tiki Goon statues, adding to the already impressive DK Island collection.

This one will take place on the Canyon Layer and, as ever, you’ll have to complete Void Kong’s challenges with a special set of limitations on your perks and abilities.

Here’s the exact time that the event will begin in your region:

• North America: 1am PDT / 2am MDT / 3am CDT / 4am EDT
• UK/Ire: 9am BST
• Europe: 10am CEST / 11am EEST
• Asia/Oceania: 5pm JST / 4pm AWST / 6pm AEST

Of course, you’ll need to have picked up the Donkey Kong Bananza: DK Island & Emerald Rush DLC to take part in the event. If you want a reminder of all the events and rewards that have come before this one, you’ll find the full list in our guide below.

Donkey Kong Bananza is down to $62.99 at Amazon right now, $7 off its original list price, and a 10% saving for those counting. That’s a pretty rare discount for a Nintendo game not that long after release, 6 months at most by my estimates.

While $7 savings isn’t much, all things considered, it’s still a tidy discount for anyone who was holding off until the game got cheaper after shelling out big for that shiny new Switch 2.

Plus, it’s mighty rare for Nintendo games to get any kind of discount so soon after release, so we shall take what we can get, especially on such an excellent game like Donkey Kong Bananza.

As far as I’m aware, Costco had this discount first for members last year, but it seems like sites like Amazon might finally be getting around to price matching in 2026.

But is it worth the price? Donkey Kong Bananza has received what can only be described as a super-duper rare discount sale offer. 10% off isn’t game-changing, but it is a nice saving for those who aren’t just yet ready to pay $70 for a video game.

My advice? Go with your gut. If you want to gift yourself the truly valuable (but not actual currency) gift of time, and end your summer playing one of the best games of the year, then go for it! If $63 is still a little too pricey for you, hold off, cross your fingers, and hope the game gets another discount a few months down the line in 2026.

If you’re already running out of storage space, the next best Switch 2 deal available right now is on the 256GB Samsung P9 MicroSD Express card down to $34.99. Amazon has it discounted as part of its New Year sale, and this is the best price going for expanding your portable consoles storage right now.
