Donkey Kong Bananza Great Switcheroo Hall Guide (The Divide…

Challenge courses can be found throughout the underground of Donkey Kong Bananza, and Great Switcheroo Hall is the first challenge level that you'll find in The Divide region. The Divide may seem like a small, linear area at first glance, but just like the other Donkey Kong Bananza sublayers, there are plenty of secrets to be found within.

You'll reach The Divide after completing the Canyon Layer (SL 300-302). The Divide marks the first point in Donkey Kong Bananza where you get to choose which level to play through next, and that choice is what most players focus on when they get there. Those who explore can find challenge courses like Great Switcheroo Hall, however, and this level is one of the coolest so far in Donkey Kong Bannaza.

Great Switcheroo Hall Banana #1

The first Great Switcheroo Hall banana is protected by a cage at the start of the level. To reach this Banandium Gem, you have to punch the pink goo above the cage to transfer it down below to the blue section underneath. Once you've punched enough of the goo to make a path, you can climb up inside the cage and grab the banana.

To reach the pink goo block above the Banandium Gem, cross over to the other side with the barrel. Punch the small pink block to get past it, then use the newly-filled small blue block to climb up higher. From there, you can jump onto the big pink goo block and start smashing.

Great Switcheroo Hall Banana #2

The second Great Switcheroo Hall banana is located along the main path through the level. From the start of the course, punch the small pink goo block and continue along the path past the huge gap with the caged banana. Use the blue goo on the other side to climb up the ramp and claim the second Banandium Gem.

Great Switcheroo Hall Banana #3

The third and final Great Switcheroo Hall banana is hidden in a secret destructible compartment on the backside of the level. To reach it, grab the second Banandium Gem described above and then continue forward to the pink and blue goo puzzle required to reach the top of the level.

You need to punch the pink goo and transfer it to the blue side in order to reach the top of the level, but there's actually a destructible wall behind the blue goo. Punch enough of the pink goo to create a narrow path along the bottom of the outlined blue block so you can reach the wall, then break it to reveal the Banandium Gem.

That's all there is to Great Switcheroo Hall! This is one of Donkey Kong Bananza's toughest challenge courses, especially since the goo mechanic is still new at this point in the game. You can use the Banandium Gems you collect in Great Switcheroo Hall to upgrade DK's abilities and make the journey through the upcoming sublayers more managable.
