Status as a layer[edit]
I do not believe DK Island is considered to be a layer. In addition to not being part of the Underground World, I recall that in-game menus forgo the standard "Return to Layer" button in favor of "Return to DK Island." B700465189a9 (talk) 13:59, September 14, 2025 (EDT)
- i suppose the identifier could be changed to "DK Island (Donkey Kong Bananza)", then? —

- Yeah, I agree. Not to mention DK Island not having any Banandium Gems or fossils, something every other layer has (New Donk City doesn't but that's 100% not meant to be a layer either). Technetium (talk) 19:11, September 14, 2025 (EDT)
Going to DK Island before finishing main game[edit]
You can actually access DK Island before beating the main game, according to Nintendo - you just have to talk to Squawks on the Racing Layer. That said, we need to edit the article to account for this. I have no idea how the story explains them going to DK Island before the postgame, given Void Kong wouldn't have set up shop on DK Island yet so the Eelevator would have no reason to take you there. Does she even have dialogue if you go to DK Island and then enter postgame? Like, Void would only show up then so you'd think the game would tell the player. Anyway, pretty much everyone with the DLC has finished the main game already, so this info is hard to find... Technetium (talk) 19:19, September 14, 2025 (EDT)
