Nintendo has officially unveiled details for the second Emerald Rush event in Donkey Kong Bananza, the popular platforming adventure now available for Nintendo Switch 2.
Titled 'So Strong It’s Funny,' this limited-time event will run from 8:00am GMT on Tuesday, 25 November, through 7:59am GMT on Tuesday, 2 December 2025.
Exclusive to players who own the DK Island & Emerald Rush paid downloadable content (DLC), the event brings fresh opportunities for fans to earn exclusive in-game rewards. For this special Emerald Rush event, participants will have the chance to acquire unique statues of Chunky Kong and Lanky Kong, both beloved characters originally featured in Donkey Kong 64.
These statues serve as exclusive collectibles and signify achievement within the Emerald Rush game mode, further enhancing the replay value of Donkey Kong Bananza’s DLC offering. A key differentiator in the 'So Strong It’s Funny' event is the pre-determined gameplay mechanics.
Unlike the standard Emerald Rush mode, in which elements such as Skills acquired from Banandium Gems are randomized, this event locks in specific Skills for all players.
This adjustment aims to level the playing field and challenge players to compete under equal conditions during the event window. Donkey Kong Bananza has cemented its status as a must-play for platformer fans since its launch on Nintendo Switch 2, where it is currently available both at retail and digitally via the Nintendo eShop.
The base game, complimented by robust paid content like the DK Island & Emerald Rush DLC, exemplifies Nintendo’s continued support for engaging post-launch experiences.
The introduction of regular themed events not only rewards dedicated players but also maintains a dynamic and competitive community around the title. Nintendo continues its tradition of injecting nostalgic value into new releases by including icons such as Chunky Kong and Lanky Kong.
These fan-favorite characters add another layer of excitement for long-time Donkey Kong enthusiasts and celebrate the franchise’s rich legacy. Players eager to participate in the 'So Strong It’s Funny' event should ensure they have access to the DK Island & Emerald Rush DLC.
With competitive gameplay elements and highly collectible rewards at stake, this Emerald Rush event represents one of the most compelling reasons yet to revisit Donkey Kong Bananza on Nintendo Switch 2 this holiday season.
