DK Island is a layer in Donkey Kong Bananza, becoming accessible after buying the DK Island & Emerald Rush DLC. Unlike the other layers, DK Island does not particularly occupy a certain sublayer. It is the home island of Donkey Kong and his family. The island itself resembles how it did in Donkey Kong Country, although the mountain representing Gorilla Glacier is reimagined as a volcano, reflecting the island's Donkey Kong Country Returns depiction. Prior to the release of the DLC, the silhouette of DK Island can be seen at the surface of the planet as the player selects a layer to travel to.
The Eelevator informs Donkey Kong and Pauline that Void Kong has appeared on DK Island, having landed his Pay-Dirt Piledriver close by and conducting research on emerald ore. When Donkey Kong and Pauline arrive at the island and talks to him, he employs them to collect ore for him in the Emerald Rush mode. After completing the first, original 21 VoidCo rewards, Void Kong tells the two to report back to him at HQ. Now possessing a fortune's worth of emerald ore, Void Kong plans to sell the ore for profit worldwide, and use its energy to recharge the Pay-Dirt Piledriver. Unbeknownst to Void, Grumpy Kong and Poppy Kong had sabotaged his machine and promises, along with Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, and Cranky Kong, to keep watch of him. During the credits and afterwards, the layer will be in a sunset until Donkey Kong leaves.
After completing Emerald Rush for the first time, Donkey Kong can pay Squawks at Squawk's Hut, initially costing 100 Banandium Chips, to find a statue or gold.
There are multiple interactable objects that can be found around the layer, such as DJ booths, Rambis, and Squawks. DJ booths that can change the music of the layer with a disc. Interacting with a Rambi can spawn Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, and Cranky Kong for Photo Mode. Talking to a Squawks will give the options to reset the statues to their initial positions.
Donkey Kong is able to explore DK Island before beating the main game by talking to Squawks in the Racing Layer, located on the podium. Donkey Kong relives the memory of DK Island before the main story of the game, spawning inside the Treehouse. Though many things will not be present during this visit, such as Pauline and Void Kong being absent. By talking to any Squawks, Donkey Kong will have the option to return back to the Racing Layer.
