Donkey Kong Bananza: Super Mario Odyssey's Pauline will be new sidekick, says Nintendo
Through her singing talents, Pauline will be able to transform DK into multiple forms, such as a charging zebra or a flying ostrich, which can drop egg bombs. A second player can control this character, which turns Bananza into a co-op experience, IGN reported. As Pauline's vocals become explosive blasts, it can be aimed using the mouse controls to help DK.
With the GameShare option, this can be played on multiple consoles, including the original Nintendo Switch. The best part here is that your partner does not require a copy of the game.
Gamers will be able to skate around on pieces of the environment, which have been torn out of the ground by DK. They can further stick them together to come up with new structures.
The DK Artist mode will allow gamers to showcase their creativity with the Bananza's destruction effects. Players now get to carve out their own statues out of stone.
Another major highlight is the return of classic characters like Cranky Kong and Rambi the Rhino as well as Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong. As of now, their roles in the gameplay remain uncertain.
The new game will also include a fresh version of the iconic DK Rap from Donkey Kong 64.
Besides the game, Nintendo informed about the Donkey Kong Bananza amiibo figure that features DK and Pauline. It will be made available alongside the game. Players get early access to the costume for Pauline.
Much like 2017's Super Mario Odyssey, the new offering from Nintendo will be an open-world game, where the barrel-throwing gorilla tries to retrieve his precious Golden Bananas from the evil VoidCo.
The new game comes out exclusively on the Nintendo Switch 2 on July 17.
The game was revealed during the Nintendo Switch 2 event in April. It marks the return of the 3D action-adventure platformer genre for the Donkey Kong series.

Is Rockstar Games making GTA 6 companion app? Fans speculate after viral post; here's what to expect from the application
GTA 6 fans are a true example of being a passionate gamer! Well, despite waiting for the game to launch for years, fans have been keeping a tab on Rockstar Games' career page, apart from just speculating about new updates about the game. In an interesting discovery, Grand Theft Auto VI is rumoured to be launching a companion app. Let's find out what that is. According to Game Rant, Rockstar Games has earlier explored mobile companion apps with GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 (RDR 2). A companion app could revolutionise the way players interact with the game. While those apps performed fine in terms of downloads and ratings, but they drew criticism for missing the opportunity to include more worthy and useful features. What is the GTA 6 companion app? As per the latest rumours, Rockstar may get another chance to improve the experience of gameplay with the help of these apps, and this time the gaming manufacturer is planning for the most anticipated game of all time, which is GTA 6. The launch of a companion app could revolutionise how players interact with the game. Job listing post goes viral on Reddit Amid this, the latest job post shared by a Reddit user @r/GTA6 quickly grabbed the attention of fans and players. The post read, "Mobile engineer with a strong understanding of iOS and/or Android development to help us build and maintain our mobile platform, including our SDK and build systems.' GTA VI Companion App byu/Gerald19901 inGTA6 It added that the candidate will be working on 'some of the most rewarding, large-scale creative projects to be found in any entertainment medium'. Noticing the post, fans naturally started speculating and developing their own theories around the upcoming companion app for the title. One said, "Are companions apps making a comeback? I remember when the GTA V one came out, during the phase of them, and it was unpopular then. Im surprised seeing so many comments that are for this. I thought this was a dead trend" Fans buzz as Rockstar Games hints at a potential GTA 6 companion app in a viral post | Credit: Reddit | @Gerald19901 While another added, "They never left for R* games. RDR2 also had one in 2018, which I think was better than the GTA 5 companion app, as it had an interactive live map of your current player position and surrounding activities (both story mode and online, but it was disabled for online later), useable story/online catalogue and the full strategy guide." What to expect from the GTA 6 companion app? Many assumed the companion app trend was fading with time after Blizzard shut down its WoW app. However, major developers still look interested in the same space. As per Game Rant, one of the recent examples was the Zelda Notes feature that was added to the Nintendo Switch app, mimicking a companion app, after which, now, Rockstar seems to be following the league. Since the release of the first trailer of the game, the companion app highlighted a TikTok-style social media platform that showed off the many bizarreness of Leonida. Moreover, the app could have some useful functions that are reflected in the game, depending on the level of integration.
