Swap Harps are devices that swap terrain types in Donkey Kong Bananza. They are small harps with two small cubes attached to them, which display the terrain types the harp will swap. Swap Harps are most commonly found in the Groove Layer; however, they can also be found in the Tempest Layer and the Racing Layer after completion of the game.

Upon activation, all terrain, including chunks held in the Elephant Bananza's Trunk Chunk, will swap between the two materials indicated on the Swap Harp. The Swap Harp makes a small musical noise, either increasing in pitch or decreasing in pitch, depending on which terrain is being swapped.
