Donkey Kong fans have another reason to get excited this summer, as Nintendo has officially opened pre-orders for the highly anticipated Donkey Kong and Pauline amiibo set.

Timed perfectly to launch alongside the upcoming adventure platformer Donkey Kong Bananza, the amiibo duo is now available for purchase exclusively through the My Nintendo Store in the UK. Set for release on July 17, 2025, to coincide with Donkey Kong Bananza's arrival on the Nintendo Switch, the Donkey Kong and Pauline amiibo set is priced at £16.99.

Customers eager to secure their set can place orders now, with a maximum of three amiibo permitted per customer.

Standard delivery is available for £1.99 (€2.99), while free shipping is offered on orders totaling £20 (€24.99) or more. The Donkey Kong and Pauline amiibo aren’t just collectible figures—they offer exclusive in-game content for Donkey Kong Bananza.

When players use the Pauline amiibo, they unlock a special 'Diva Dress' costume for Pauline, adding unique customization to their gameplay experience.

This bonus brings additional incentive for fans who want to get the most out of their new adventure on the Nintendo Switch. Donkey Kong Bananza itself has already generated significant buzz following a recent Nintendo Direct presentation.

In this in-depth showcase, Nintendo revealed a series of innovative new gameplay features.

The game introduces 'Bananza' forms, allowing Donkey Kong to transform and acquire new abilities, and debuts a robust in-game shop where players can purchase a variety of costumes.

Among the standout modes is 'DK Artist,' where players are given creative freedom to sculpt and paint objects and characters, expanding the creative possibilities within the game. The launch of the Donkey Kong and Pauline amiibo highlights Nintendo's ongoing commitment to supporting the amiibo line while delivering fresh content and interactivity for Switch owners.

The simultaneous release with Donkey Kong Bananza ensures fans won’t miss out on any of the excitement and exclusive bonuses. Both the game and the amiibo set can be secured via the My Nintendo Store UK, and players are encouraged to act quickly due to anticipated high demand.
