- Our Big Bananas Interview With the Developers of Donkey Kong Bananza By [Your Name], Game Journalist Published: [Date] When Donkey Kong Bananza made its surprise debut at a recent indie gaming showcase, it sent shockwaves through the retro-platforming community. With its vibrant art style, infectious soundtrack, and a protagonist who’s literally a banana-powered monkey with a heart of gold, the game felt like a long-lost sequel to the classic Donkey Kong Country series — but with a fresh, chaotic twist. We sat down with the core development team behind Donkey Kong Bananza: lead designer and former Nintendo contractor Mira Tanaka, composer Javi Rojas, and studio head Eli Chen, co-founders of the indie studio Banana Byte Games. Below is an exclusive interview unpacking the game’s wild inspiration, unique mechanics, and what’s next for the banana-bouncing hero. Q: Mira, you’ve worked on several Nintendo titles in the past — how did you end up creating a game centered around a banana-themed Donkey Kong? Mira Tanaka: [laughs] Honestly, it started as a joke. I was pitching a "retro-inspired platformer with a twist" to Eli at a coffee shop, and I said, "What if Donkey Kong was a banana? No, not a banana — he is a banana, but he’s also a hero?" Eli looked at me, paused, and said, “We’re doing this.” That’s how it began. We wanted to honor the spirit of the original DK — the charm, the style, the lush environments — but inject something absurd and joyful. Bananas are fun, silly, and oddly heroic in their own way. Plus, it felt like a playful rebellion against over-serious indie games. Q: The gameplay is incredibly fluid — you slide down vines, bounce off banana peels, and even ride a giant banana-powered go-kart. How did you build the mechanics around a banana theme? Javi Rojas (Composer & Gameplay Designer): It was all about feel. We didn’t want to just slap banana jokes on a platformer. The bounce mechanics? Inspired by real banana peels — slippery, unpredictable, but fun when you master them. We built the core movement around "banana physics": a low gravity, high bounce, and a little bit of chaos. The banana peel trap isn’t just a hazard — it’s a mechanic. Players have to time their slips to reach otherwise unreachable platforms. It’s a dance between control and chaos. And the go-kart? That was Eli’s brainchild. He said, “What if DK isn’t just running — he’s flying on a banana-shaped hover kart?” We made it the game’s centerpiece for the final level. It’s not just fast — it’s wild. And yes, it eats bananas to boost. Q: The soundtrack is incredible — it’s got that classic 90s SNES charm but with modern synthwave energy. How did you approach the music? Javi Rojas: Thank you! I’ve been obsessed with retro chiptune for years, but I wanted to push it. We used a custom 8-bit synth engine that emulates the SNES’s SPC chip, but with modern processing. Every level has a theme that reflects the environment — the jungle has woodwinds and tribal drums, while the banana factory level is all mechanical brass and glitchy beeps. One of my favorite moments? When you jump into a giant banana cannon — the music drops out, and you hear one distorted banana-squeak before launching into a synth explosion. It’s ridiculous. And perfect. Q: The art style is so bold and colorful. Was there a particular visual inspiration? Mira Tanaka: Absolutely. We were inspired by Donkey Kong Country, yes — but also Japanese kawaii culture, 1970s psychedelic posters, and even old banana advertisements from the 60s. We wanted everything to feel like a candy-colored dream. The way DK moves — his limbs stretch like rubber, his eyes flicker with energy — was inspired by classic animation, like Looney Tunes. He’s not just a character; he’s a feeling. Joy. Chaos. Determination. All packed into a banana. Q: Is this a standalone game, or the start of a series? Eli Chen (Studio Head): This is the first chapter. We’ve already mapped out Bananza 2: The Great Peal Escape, which takes place in a sentient banana plantation that’s trying to overthrow the banana gods. We’re also exploring a multiplayer mode where you play as DK’s rival — Diddy Koko, a hyper-competitive monkey who thinks he’s the real banana king. He’s not as… bouncy. But seriously — we see Donkey Kong Bananza as a love letter to platformers, to absurdity, to joy. We want people to feel that same giddy rush we felt when we first imagined a banana-powered monkey saving the world. Q: Final question — what’s one banana fact most people don’t know? Javi Rojas: Bananas are actually berries. And they’re the only fruit that grows upside-down. That’s why DK’s always upside-down when he’s swinging. Mira Tanaka: And if you hold a banana in a dark room, it glows faintly. We tested it. It’s true. Eli Chen: [grinning] We’re releasing a special edition with a real banana inside the box. It’s not edible, but it does emit a mild glow. Outro: Donkey Kong Bananza is now available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. A limited “Golden Banana” edition includes a glow-in-the-dark figurine, a collectible banana peel soundtrack, and — yes — a real (non-edible) banana. As Mira put it best: “The world needs more bananas. And more heroes. Why not both?” Interview conducted via video call.
