The '''Forbidden Layer''' is the penultimate layer of the [[Underground World]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Bananza]]'', occupying sublayer 1500. The layer has a moderately surreal design, mostly being a void with large concrete blocks and obelisks. It is mostly populated by [[Fractone]]s who will attempt to persuade [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Pauline]] to not continue any further through the layer. Various locations and landmark names reflect the same attitude, such as "Go-No-Further Gate".

Various chasms in the layer will create Fractonium trails beneath terrain thrown by Donkey Kong. In order to progress through the layer, more than 12,000 [[gold]] needs to be paid to the [[Securitone]]s. Once paid, a Securitone creates a region surrounding them that causes thrown chunks of terrain to leave trails of Passage Stone, which can be used to traverse throughout the layer.

Following the fight against [[Void Kong]], Pauline inadvertently frees [[King K. Rool]] from the [[Banandium Root]], who then dives down into the [[Planet Core]].

{{main|List of Banandium Gems in the Forbidden Layer}}
There are a total of twenty-nine Banandium Gems (twenty-four regular gems and one bunch of 5) in the Forbidden Layer. During [[Donkey Kong]]'s first visit to this layer, he can collect twenty-three Banandium Gems and the bunch of 5 Gems. After Donkey Kong defeats [[King K. Rool]] in [[New Donk City]], another Banandium Gem becomes available to collect.

==Signs==
*''Begone, intruders... The concrete towers found here are antitrespassing measures. They are constructed of concrete. Standard strength cannot destroy them. Take the hint, and leave.''
*''Begone, intruders... If you won't leave, at least open up your Map with {{button|switch|minus}} and select where you want to Teeleport to... The Li'l Elevators will take you there. Then you can return to the entrance, take the hint... and leave.''
*''Begone, intruders... If you won't leave, you must pay for your intrusion with gold. For enough gold, we will give you the power to create throw zones. Within those zones, thrown chunks will create trails... but navigating our many antitrespassing measures is impossible. Take the hint! LEAVE!''
*'''<u>Saga of the Exploritone, Verse 28</u>:''' ''This time, we're certain that we have arrived at the origin of Us... Although... there's no one here. We hoped we'd get to meet the original Fractones still living here, but... nothing. It is a desolate place. Our saga ends here. We will have  look round for any stray clues. If we find none, we will head back home to the Hilltop Layer.''
