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.
