Once players fix the water shortage Donkey Kong Bananza's Lagoon Layer, they will go down to Hilltop Layer. This is a smaller map with only one sublayer to explore. However, there is still plenty to uncover here. There are 38 Banandium Gems in Hilltop Layer as well as 30 Ammonite (alt color) fossils.
If players want to unlock every style customization in Donkey Kong Bananza and 100 percent complete the game, they will have to find all of the Ammonite fossils in Hilltop Layer, and this guide will help them find each one.
