The ABCs of DK! is an article published on the official Nintendo website. The article serves as an introduction to various aspects of Donkey Kong Bananza, with each term being placed in alphabetical order and in rhyming format.

Content[edit]

A is for All-Mine Remote
Void’s lil’ gadget can change the terrain.
That greedy guy can bring the pain!
B is for Bananzas
Bananzas are powers that transform and astound.
You can use them to fight and to help get around.
C is for Cranky Kong
Search every layer—he’s found here and there.
It’s great to see Cranky away from his chair!
D is for Diddy & Dixie Kong
Time to catch up with familiar faces.
Reach the right layer, and it’s off to the races.
E is for Elders
Giant and wise, they have a lot to say.
They’re down to help (and even DJ)!
F is for Fractone
These gentle folks will spare you some time.
They often give advice and talk in rhyme.
G is for Getaway
Regain your hearts in these restful spots.
Pauline also shares her random thoughts.
H is for High Five
Donkey Kong’s punches can often destroy.
But press <Y> near allies to bring some joy.
I is for Ingot Isle
Our journey begins in monkey-filled mines—
a place of introductions and bright neon signs.
J is for Juice
Be it apple or melon, these juices slap.
When you’re in trouble, they’ll help in a snap.
K is for Kong
Whether species or Bananza, they’re a sight to see—
especially when exploring with a smashing spree.
L is for Lil’ Eelevators
Zip around a layer with carefree ease!
These little guys are diggin’ to please.
M is for Minecart
Minecart fan? It’s your lucky day!
Have fun throwing Boom Rocks to clear the way.
N is for Naked
A classic style with no shame.
DK didn’t wear pants on his rise to fame.
O is for "Oh, Banana!"
A saying you will hear every now and again
It’s not a matter of "if," it’s a matter of "when."
P is for Pay-Dirt Piledriver
A clever machine that’s totally vile.
It’s drilling on down with no grace nor style.
Q is for Quiztone
A swanky gent with a desire to quiz.
Get his questions right to feel like a whiz!
R is for Rambi
A longtime pal who’s ready to race.
Don’t forget to use ZR, if you want to keep pace.
S is for Shifty Stone
A shimmery stone that floats with ease!
Throw a chunk at it to cross in a breeze.
T is for Turf Surf
Ride on a chunk to zip on around.
Who knew such speed could come from the ground?
U is for Underground World
A mysterious world that’s ready to explore.
Enjoy your trip down to the Planet Core!
V is for Void Company
A greedy company of ill repute—
they’ll do anything needed to add to their loot.
W is for Warp Gong
To travel quickly, just smack the Warp Gong.
Eelevator has your back—she’ll bring you along.
X is for X Button
Press <X> to punch upwards—it’s really quite neat!
(Finding a phrase for X was quite a tough feat…)
Y is for Yum-yum Tie
A distinctive tie that you can really savor.
Who knew DK’s style could have such flavor?
Z is for Zebra
Why do they live in the Freezer Layer, brah?
We hope these guys find a nice way to thaw.
