Explore a vast underground world — at the foundation of destruction!

• Destroy virtually anything with the raw power of Donkey Kong! Knock down walls, dig tunnels with your fists, smash straight into the ground, and rip pieces of terrain to hurl during your explorations. The more you destroy, the more areas will open up for you to traverse.
• Join DK and his companion, Pauline, as they explore the depths of the underground 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 away the Earth's crust!

Use powerful Bananza transformations with Pauline's help

• Pauline is a talented young singer looking for a way back to the surface. Her singing can empower Donkey Kong with Bananza transformations! Each transformation has its own advantages: you can tackle the toughest obstacles with the brute strength of the Kong transformation, gallop super-fast with the zebra transformation, and more.
• Team up with a friend in two-player cooperative mode and dive into the underground world as Donkey Kong and Pauline. The second player can smash enemies and terrain with the power of Pauline's voice as you explore together.

Fight your way to the planet's Core before the greedy Void Company gets there first

• It is said that the planet's Core has the power to grant any wish, and Void Kong, the terrible director of the greedy Void Company, won't stop until he gets there and seizes all the world's wealth. Donkey Kong and Pauline have other plans, but if they want their wishes to come true, they'll need to take down Void Kong.

Embark on an action-packed, banana-filled journey to the planet's Core with DK and Pauline!
