Donkey Kong Bananza has been out for over a month now, and it’s been met with glowing reviews and plenty of excitement. I gave it a great score in my own review, but after writing it there was one specific question on my mind – is it better than Super Mario Odyssey? In a way, you could say comparison is the thief of joy, but this gave me an excuse to replay both Odyssey and Bananza to form a conclusive answer. And by “conclusive answer”, I mean “an opinion backed up by a couple thousand words’ worth of explanations”. So today, we’re doing a Super Mario Odyssey vs. Donkey Kong Bananza analysis, comparing their strengths and weaknesses, and seeing which one comes out on top – if any. Do keep in mind that we’ll eventually discuss spoilers for both games, so you might want to bookmark this post and come back later if you’re trying to avoid Donkey Kong Bananza’s ending details.

System: Switch 2
Release date: August 28, 2025
Developer: HAL Laboratory
Publisher: Nintendo

This game’s title is a mouthful, to say the least! It’s been about two years since we’ve received a new Kirby game, and Nintendo has decided to release an upgrade pack for Kirby and the Forgotten Land. When it first launched in 2022, it was met with critical acclaim. Not only is the game considered one of Kirby’s best, it’s up there as one of the greatest 3D platformers – perhaps not on par with your Super Mario Odyssey or Donkey Kong Bananza, but up there nonetheless. The Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of Kirby and the Forgotten Land promises performance bumps and twelve new levels with Star-Crossed World.
