Surf Surf

Turf Surfing[1]:13:33[2] is one of Donkey Kong's abilities in Donkey Kong Bananza. While carrying a chunk of terrain, he can stand on top of it and "surf" it on a surface, allowing him to move faster than on foot, break through objects,[3] and safely overcome dangerous terrain, such as thorns.[1]:14:50 He also collects any piece of gold he rides the chunk into. However, the chunk erodes while surfing it, becoming increasingly smaller.[1]:13:44 The rate at which it wears away is determined by the durability of its material.[1]:13:55

While Donkey Kong is turf surfing, he can jump, speed up with Y Button, and dismount the chunk with ZL Button. At the same time as he dismounts a chunk, Donkey Kong automatically resumes holding it.[1]:14:54

A variation of this ability, called the Surf Surf, unlocked with Skill Points, enables Donkey Kong to ride a chunk on the surface of water.[4]

Mine Cart rails can also be navigated with Turf Surf; however, this is slower since Donkey Kong cannot speed up with Y Button while on rails, and the terrain chunk will eventually be worn away completely. Additionally, he cannot do this on the Mine Cart rails in the Planet Core, and will fall through them instead if he attempts this.
