Canyon Layer is the fourth layer visited in the Underground World of Donkey Kong Bananza, occupying sublayers 300 to 302. It is a mountainous area with many Mine Cart tracks to help Donkey Kong and Pauline travel along the layer. It is populated by Fractones who mimic the appearance of giraffes, animals which have disappeared from the Underground World. In addition, a large number of smokestacks resembling these animals appear in this layer; another of these appears later, in the Landfill Layer, presumably having fallen down there.[1]
When Donkey Kong and Pauline first reach the Canyon Layer, they meet some Fractone whose bananas were stolen by Void Company, so they head to Longneck Plateau Village to ensure everyone is alright. There, a giraffe-shaped Fractone suggests the duo go to the Banandium Refinery, which they get to after destroying a Terravoider covering a Mine Cart. After using the Kong Bananza to break through the Banandium Refinery's entrance, Donkey Kong and Pauline are confronted by Grumpy Kong, who controls a giant Crockoid-like being to defeat them. After Grumpy Kong's defeat, he gives them a key that opens a Void Stake blocking the way to Sublayer 301. There, Void Company have set up Mad Mixer at the Banandium Refinery, which a Fractone orders Donkey Kong and Pauline to destroy before it explodes. The duo make their way around the refinery to destroy a Terravoider that allows them to use a set of Mine Carts that lead to Mad Mixer, which they destroy by throwing Boom Rocks at it. After escaping the refinery, they make it to Click-Clack Smokestack and enter it to defeat Stompenclomper and enter the next layer.

Banandium Gems[edit]
- Main article: List of Banandium Gems in the Canyon Layer
There are a total of eighty-eight Banandium Gems (seventy-six regular gems and four bunches of 3) in the Canyon Layer. During Donkey Kong's first visit to this layer, he can collect seventy-five Banandium Gems and the four bunches of 3 gems. After Donkey Kong defeats King K. Rool in New Donk City, another Banandium Gem become available to collect.

Signs[edit]
- The rainbow-colored smoke spouting out of the smokestack is real pretty... Seems the
Banandium Gems have sprinkled their glittery colors on all sorts of stuff around here. Can't say we mind such a lovely sight. It inspires everyone to work even harder. —Refinery Foreman - Saga of the Exploritone, Verse 2: We worked up our courage and leapt into our first sinkhole... The sensation of landing was jarring but not painful. We recovered quickly. The landscape here is very different than the hilltops we are accustomed to. The dry air and scent of sand on the hot winds is an intriguing change of pace. If the atmosphere of this new land is this exciting, then we cannot wait to meet those who reside here.
- History of the Underhoof Warehouse: We decided to build a warehouse under the village to store Banandium Gems... The drilling work began and continued smoothly until, one day, we unearthed pools of water. Water is an important part of this layer's ecosystem, of course. So we promptly halted drilling. We turned the Underhoof Warehouse into a watering hole where residents could gather and relax.
- History of Twin-Horn Smokestacks: The foreman had a plan to increase our output by doubling up on smokestacks... It was, indeed, a bold plan. But they soon discovered that the number of smokestacks matters less than the size of the smokestacks. Since the output didn't increase as we hoped, the two test smokestacks were decommissioned, mine carts and all.
- Welcome to the Canyon Layer... The upper sublayer has spacious banana warehouses, while the lower sublayer is the larger Banandium Refinery. From warehouse to refinery, this entire layer is dedicated to processing the raw energy of Banandium Gems!
- NOTICE: This is the refinery foreman's private property... Outsiders are not allowed to tread on these grounds. (That means YOU!). And no Getaways or
Barrel Cannons are to be built around here either. Foreman's orders! - History of Neckreach Smokestack: This is the largest smokestack in the Underground World... A great deal of effort went into this smokestack's construction. In fact, the builders who braved great heights to erect it left a little memento behind when they finished. A Banandium Gem sits atop the giraffe horns...where no one can reach it. Those builders must've had a good laugh!
- Guide to the Employee Dormitory: Room and board in this dorm is free so long as you are a refinery employee... The dormitory has been furnished with the highest-quality beds and showering facilities. Not only that, but any banana chips that the refining process produces are yours to eat!
- We discovered a large fossil inside the refinery... According to the report, it was the fossil of a creature that lived on the surface, called a triceratops. At Constructone Developement, we naturally pause construction whenever we find a fossil! We would never bury it in the sand and forget about it just to hit a deadline...
- History of Click-Clack Smokestack: We shall increase our work rate by building a mechanical smokestack... That was the refinery foreman's bold plan anyway, and at first it seemed he was onto something. As productivity increased, more bits and bobs were added to the stack. "More is better!" the foreman declared. But soon so much machinery had been tacked on, the stacks became a chaotic mess...and no work got done at all.
- A Guide to Sturdy Rope: (From your friendly Fractones) You there! Take a look around... Did you happen to notice that you're standing on a platform that hangs precariously from a crane?! Perhaps you didn't! That's because the very platform your life depends on is totally sturdy, even at this great height! It's all thanks to the Fractone-made Sturdy Rope—the latest innovation in high-altitude construction material! Sturdy Rope*: Because a safe, stable workplace is a happy workplace. *Patent pending
- Saga of the Exploritone, Verse 3: We met some creatures here unlike any we have seen before... They had long necks, with a distinctive dappled pattern. Their bodies were flexible and fur covered. We observed them experimenting on Banandium Gems as a energy source. They hope to build the Underground World's greatest refinery someday. They have great ambition. They dream of a day in which their long necks rise above the crowded throngs of history. It is time for us to head to the next sinkhole. What sort of creatures will we meet further down?
