Donkey Kong Bananza Discounted At Amazon, But Probably Not For Long

In: Gaming, News

Donkey Kong Bananza is on sale for $63 at Amazon. The 10% discount was briefly offered on July 25, but that deal disappeared in a flash. It’s possible that this matching deal will be gone soon, too. As of August 10 at 10:10 PM ET, the $63 price is still active. You could put the money you’re saving toward the new Amiibo figure featuring DK and Pauline–or one of the many Super Mario games Walmart is selling for $39 right now.

Developed by the team behind Super Mario Odyssey, Donkey Kong Bananza is earning fantastic reviews, including a 9/10 from GameSpot. It currently holds a 90 Metascore on review aggregator Metacritic (a GameSpot sister site).

Updated on August 10

If you haven’t picked up the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller, it’s a great gamepad for Bananza. It has a pair of remappable back buttons, which come in handy for games like Donkey Kong Bananza, Switch 2 Editions of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, and many other games. We’d also recommend checking out the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Bluetooth Controller, a $70 alternative with four extra remappable buttons, trigger locks, premium TMR thumbsticks, and a slew of customization features that can be saved to three custom profiles. It also has a turbo button–here’s why turbo is super useful in Donkey Kong Bananza.

All five Lego Super Mario sets featuring Donkey Kong characters are in stock at Amazon, which is notable considering several of them were retired late last year. Most notably, Donkey Kong’s Tree House is in stock for retail price ($60). The 555-piece set had been sold out for most of the year. Donkey Kong’s Tree House is one of two Lego sets that comes with a buildable DK figure.

The other Lego Mario set that includes a Donkey Kong figure is the 387-piece DK Jumbo set. Part of the Lego Mario Kart launch lineup from earlier this year, DK Jumbo is up for grabs for $29.49 (was $35).

All of the Donkey Kong Lego sets interact with the Lego Super Mario Adventures starter sets.
