Switcheroo Goo is a terrain type in Donkey Kong Bananza. It is a gum-like material that is used in conjunction with glowing, intangible cuboid frames. These frames are found in pairs, both of them identical in size and shape, albeit one pink and one blue. Initially, the pink frame of the pair is filled with Switcheroo Goo (creating a solid platform), while the blue frame is empty. If a piece of Switcheroo Goo is destroyed, the removed chunk is transferred to the corresponding location within the other frame. The color of Switcheroo Goo matches the color of the frame it occupies. Switcheroo Goo cannot be stored using the Elephant Bananza transformation's Inhale ability.
Switcheroo Goo is found primarily in The Divide, where it is first found, and in the Planet Core.
