List of Emerald Rush events

Special monthly events are held in the Emerald Rush mode of Donkey Kong Bananza: DK Island & Emerald Rush. They consist of limited-time challenges occurring in predetermined layers under specific conditions, such as only featuring certain types of Emerald Perks. During these events, skills and Bananzas are unlockable in fixed locations and rounds, rather than being randomized like in a typical Emerald Rush run. Reaching given emerald thresholds within a single run in this event nets the player Banandium Chips and exclusive decorative statues.^[1]^[2]
