The big guy is back and he's not alone!

Explore a vast underground world with Donkey Kong and Pauline — driven by destruction!

With DK's muscles and Pauline's powerful voice, you'll be able to knock down walls, dig tunnels with your fists, slam straight into the ground, and even tear up pieces of the terrain to throw during your explorations. The more you destroy, the more areas will open up for you to traverse.

Dive into the fun

Join DK and his partner, Pauline, as they explore the underground depths and discover that this world is much more than it seems. Uncover a series of ecosystems such as arid canyons, lush forests, and icy tundras as you peel back the earth's crust!

Join Pauline

Pauline is a 13-year-old with a voice so powerful it can shatter rocks and even influence Donkey Kong's powers!

Oh banana!

Pauline's singing can enhance DK's powers with different Bananza transformations, each with its own special power. Boost DK's strength, speed, and more!

Void Company

It is said that the Core of the planet has the power to fulfill any wish, and Void Kong, the dreadful president of the greedy Void Company, won't stop until he reaches it and captures all the world's riches. Clear your path to the Core of the planet before the greedy Void Company gets there first!

Join a friend

In two-player cooperative mode, one player controls Donkey Kong, while the other can play as Pauline. Ride on DK's shoulder, fire vocal projectiles to clear the way and take out the villains. (Try Joy-Con™ 2 in mouse mode for more precise aiming!) Pauline can also mimic the terrain around her and change the type of projectile she fires. When DK and Pauline work together, the villains don't stand a chance!
