Statue (Donkey Kong Bananza)
Statues of various characters and enemies from Donkey Kong Bananza appear on DK Island in the DK Island & Emerald Rush DLC. By paying the Squawks at Squawks's Hut 100 Banandium Chips (later increased to 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400 and 500 as more statues are collected), he will find a statue from the sea[1] and place it on the island. While the first statue found is always one of Donkey Kong and Pauline, every subsequent statue found is selected at random. Once all statues are collected, a golden statue of Donkey Kong and Pauline is unlocked.
Though the statue Squawks finds once paid is random, each statue spawns at a specific spot on DK Island. For instance, statues of Kremling Krew members spawn on the wrecked Gangplank Galleon. The statues can be moved by Donkey Kong to anywhere on the layer. By talking to the Squawks found throughout the layer (besides the one at Squawks's Hut), the statues can be reset to their original positions.
Statues cannot be destroyed by Donkey Kong.
Additional statues, such as of Enguarde and Donkey Kong's Kong Bananza form, are added through limited-time Emerald Rush events, held periodically.[2][3] All of these statues have a golden base to them unlike the base game statues aside from the Golden DK & Pauline statue.
