There are 17 layers in Donkey Kong Bananza, most of which are broken up into multiple sub-layers. Players will need to make their way through all of them if they want to see the end credits, although finding all of the collectibles along the way is thankfully not a requirement.

Players can burn through the main story of Donkey Kong Bananza in around ten to twelve hours, although most will likely find themselves getting distracted on their way to the finish line. This is because every DK Bananza layer is packed full of side content, from challenges to collectibles.

All Collectibles in Donkey Kong Bananza (100% Checklist)
Donkey Kong Bananza is a bit of a collectathon, with 777 Banandium Gems for players to track down in total. Most of these can be obtained during a regular playthrough, although some are locked away in the post-game. There are also just shy of 700 fossils to dig up, with most DK Bananza layers having at least 30. Thankfully, for those having trouble finding them all, it's possible to dig up treasure maps or use DK's Sonar ability, both of which can make finding all of the collectibles in Donkey Kong Bananza a whole lot easier!
