Every Amiibo unlocks a reward in Donkey Kong Bananza, but each one unlocks something different.
Donkey Kong Bananza follows Donkey Kong and Pauline on their journey to the planet’s core. Each layer of the planet is home to a unique biome and is full of bananas and other collectibles to discover. The 3D platformer allows you to explore how you want, as Donkey Kong can punch into the ground and destroy everything around him to uncover secrets.
Using an Amiibo makes destroying the map even easier.
