Donkey Kong Bananza’s first limited-time Emerald Rush event is live, and we’ve got some tips and tricks so you can get all of its rewards in one go.
A while back, we compiled an even larger collection of tips and tricks for Emerald Rush. Those still apply here, so we’d highly recommend reading it in case you need to brush up on your skills. Fortunately, this event is actually far easier than getting an emerald medal on the highest difficulty of any given stage. To obtain the exclusive Enguarde and Kong Bananza statues, you’ll need to collect 1 million emeralds in a single round. That sounds daunting, but the reason this event is easier is because all of the emerald perks that appear revolve around chips. That means every single emerald perk you choose will actually be helpful – unlike non-event Emerald Rush runs, where you have to sift through dozens of bonuses that don’t immediately bring you any benefit.
