Total Number of Layers and Their Structure
Donkey Kong Bananza features a total of 17 main layers. But here’s the catch: these layers aren’t all the same size or complexity. Some are simple and serve as tutorials, like Ingot Isle, while others are much larger and packed with secrets, such as The Divide or the final Planet Core. Each layer has a different number of sublayers and Banandium Gems to find, which adds to the challenge and fun.

Exploration and Progression Tips
You unlock new layers by completing main story objectives, but you’re free to explore and collect Banandium Gems at your own speed. What’s great is that you can usually revisit previous layers to grab any bananas, fossils, or outfits you might have missed. Just keep in mind that some story parts lock you in until you finish them.
After the Lagoon Layer, each sublayer includes a spot where you can summon an eel to quickly return to any layer you’ve visited before — a handy feature for backtracking and collecting everything.
