What Amiibo Do in Donkey Kong Bananza?
Scanning Donkey Kong-related amiibo gives you four golden KONG tiles per scan. These tiles are like little explosives that clear your path through tricky terrain. The amiibo that work for this are:
- Donkey Kong and Pauline
- Donkey Kong (Super Mario)
- Diddy Kong (Super Mario)
- Donkey Kong (Super Smash Bros.)
- Diddy Kong (Super Smash Bros.)
- King K. Rool (Super Smash Bros.)
One cool bonus: scanning the Donkey Kong and Pauline amiibo unlocks the Diva Dress for Pauline. This outfit doesn’t just look stylish — it actually increases the drop rate of music discs, which can be a big help in the game.
If you scan amiibo that aren’t related to Donkey Kong, you’ll get elemental balls to throw. It’s not as exciting as the KONG tiles, but still a neat little bonus.
How to Scan Amiibo in Donkey Kong Bananza
To use your amiibo, press the Plus (+) button on your Switch controller to open the main menu, then select the amiibo icon. Next, simply hold your amiibo figure against the right control stick on the Joy-Con or the center of the Pro Controller (near the Nintendo Switch 2 logo) to scan it. Easy!
How to Unlock Pauline’s Diva Dress
Getting the Diva Dress isn’t just about scanning Pauline’s amiibo anywhere. You need to find a special NPC who looks a bit like the amiibo itself. This NPC is located on the Resort Layer (800), roughly halfway through the game.
Once you find and talk to this NPC, they’ll ask you to scan your amiibo. Doing so rewards you with Pauline’s Diva Dress and some KONG blocks to help you on your journey. Scanning other amiibo here won’t get you anything beyond the usual KONG blocks or elemental orbs.
