Super Mario Run Launches Special Donkey Kong Bananza Event With Exclusive Rewards

In celebration of the highly anticipated release of Donkey Kong Bananza, Nintendo has announced a new limited-time event for the popular mobile game Super Mario Run.

The event, designed to commemorate Donkey Kong's latest adventure, introduces a series of engaging in-game missions and exclusive rewards for players across both iOS and Android platforms.

Super Mario Run, developed by Nintendo, has maintained a strong presence in the mobile gaming market since its launch.

With millions of downloads and frequent content updates, the platformer continues to attract fans of the Mario franchise.

Now, by tying in with Donkey Kong Bananza, Nintendo offers players a unique crossover experience, leveraging the popularity of two legendary franchises. The special Donkey Kong Bananza event features three mission sheets, each containing a total of twenty-seven individual tasks.

Upon successfully completing three of these missions, players will receive digital rewards, including coins, tickets, and limited-edition statues, all designed to enrich the Super Mario Run experience.

According to Nintendo, 'Participants can enjoy special rewards such as in-game currency and unique collectibles for completing event missions.' Traditionally, some of the courses required for these event missions have been locked behind a paywall.

However, Nintendo has made this event more accessible: during the event period, players can access one free course per day, regardless of purchase status.

Additionally, users with a linked Nintendo Account can play up to two free event courses daily, allowing more opportunities to progress through missions without spending money.

This initiative underscores Nintendo’s ongoing commitment to providing engaging and rewarding content to all players. The Donkey Kong Bananza crossover event in Super Mario Run is scheduled to run from July 17, 2025, through August 28, 2025.

Gamers are encouraged to participate during this timeframe to unlock the exclusive rewards and fully experience the event’s unique missions.

The event is available on all versions of Super Mario Run, accessible via the App Store and Google Play, with additional benefits for those connecting through their Nintendo Account. Super Mario Run’s collaboration with Donkey Kong Bananza highlights Nintendo’s continued innovation in connecting its major franchises.

By offering free daily access and tying event progression to both skill and engagement, Nintendo reinforces its reputation for player-friendly events.

As the event approaches, fans of both Mario and Donkey Kong can look forward to a summer filled with nostalgic fun and rewarding challenges on their mobile devices.
