Donkey Kong Bananza secret boss battle

Donkey Kong Bananza’s DK Island + Emerald Rush DLC dropped a few days ago, and there’s more to it than meets the eye – but only a little bit more. As it turns out, there’s a secret boss fight hidden within the DLC that takes more than a couple of hours to unlock. Once you do, it’s surprisingly tough, and we’ve put together a guide on how to unlock this hidden boss battle and some tips on how to clear it. As a heads up, you can expect the game’s performance to dip during this fight – in our experience, things went below 30 frames per second more than a few times. As usual, there are spoilers within, so only continue if you’re okay with knowing who the secret boss is.
