Donkey Kong Bananza - How To Start DK Island And Emerald Rush DLC

Here is a 186-word summary of the news article: Donkey Kong Bananza, a popular Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive, has received a new DLC called "DK Island + Emerald Rush." This DLC provides players with a small, charming new island to explore and a new game mode that changes up the gameplay. To access the DLC, players must first purchase it from the eShop for $20. The DLC content is then unlocked based on the player's progress in the main game. If the player has beaten the game, they can speak to the Elders to learn about the new "rehearsals" endgame activity and then visit a warp gong to unlock fast travel to DK Island. Players who haven't beaten the game can still access DK Island by speaking to Squawks, but the Emerald Rush mode will remain locked until the main story is completed. On DK Island, players won't find any Banandium Gems, but they can explore secrets and trade Banandium Chips with Squawks to earn collectible statues. The main draw is the new Emerald Rush mode, which is accessed by speaking with Void Kong.
