Zebra Elder's Rehearsal Hall
- “My DJ skills will keep you fresh and cool in your zebra form, brah! Now serve me some sweet singing and high-speed horsepower!”
- —Zebra Elder, Donkey Kong Bananza
Zebra Elder's Rehearsal Hall is a Bananza Rehearsal in Donkey Kong Bananza. It is hosted by the Zebra Elder in the post-game. The player has to collect 350 Banandium Gems before being allowed to attempt the Rehearsal.
The challenges in this Rehearsal involve racing through courses within time limits. For each course, the player receives an extra Banandium Gem for clearing it with at least twenty seconds remaining on the clock. If the player did not fulfill the requirements for the extra Banandium Gem, the player can talk to a Zebra Fractone at the end of each course to retry it or receive tips.
