There are bananas hidden everywhere in Donkey Kong Bananza, and challenge courses like Spinning Laser Zone have even more Banandium Gems for players to collect on each sublayer. The Spinning Laser Zone is the fourth challenge course in Donkey Kong Bananza's Canyon Layer, and one of its bananas is quite hard to find.

Like most challenge courses in Donkey Kong Bananza, there are three Banandium Gems to collect in Spinning Laser Zone. The first and third bananas are pretty easy to find since they're sitting out in the open, but the second banana requires you to make use of Bananza's destruction mechanics to dig it up. That can be hard to do with all the spinning lasers, so here's where you can find all three Spinning Laser Zone Banandium Gems in Donkey Kong Bananza.

Spinning Laser Zone Challenge Course Location

Donkey Kong Bananza Spinning Laser Zone Location

The Spinning Laser Zone challenge course is located in the Canyon Layer, specifically SL301. Even though it's the fourth challenge course for the Canyon Layer, you can find it very early in the level. To reach it, take the mine cart to Longneck Plateau near the village and then dig straight down.

Spinning Laser Zone Banandium Gem #1

Donkey Kong Bananza Spinning Laser Zone Banana 1

The first Spinning Laser Zone banana is located past the first few spinning lasers along the main path of the course. To avoid the lasers, press the R button to slam the ground and raise protective pillars on the marked areas.

Spinning Laser Zone Banandium Gem #2

Donkey Kong Bananza Spinning Laser Zone Banana 2

The second Spinning Laser Zone banana is buried underground in the final laser section before the end of the course. Use the R button to scan the area and reveal the Banandium Gem's position. There are protective pillars you can raise in this section, too, but you need to dig downward to find the banana. Thankfully, the lasers move pretty slowly in this section.

Spinning Laser Zone Banandium Gem #3

Donkey Kong Bananza Spinning Laser Zone Banana 3

The third and final Spinning Laser Zone banana is located at the end of the course. Just get past all the lasers and the Banandium Gem will be waiting for you as a reward. That's the end of the Spinning Laser Zone challenge course!

With these bonus Banandium Gems, you can level up your skills and unlock new abilities in Donkey Kong Bananza. DK is already pretty strong on his own, but the skill tree makes his punches even more powerful and unlocks the true potential of his Bananza transformations.
