Donkey Kong Bananza OST added to Nintendo Music

gamingJul 17, 2026441,926

Donkey Kong Bananza just moved from a special release to a full soundtrack on Nintendo Music with all 229 tracks now available, including the suite for the Bananza transformations that users kept flagging. Celebrating the game’s one year anniversary, posts spotlight the DK and Pauline special performance and praise Poppy Kong while pointing out King K. Rool’s unexpected cameo. Others are centering edits that play with Diddy Kong’s vocals and reworking the transformation themes into extended remixes and mashups. The moment reads like a yearlong love letter to the game’s standout scenes and character beats, now audible in full for anyone diving back into Bananza’s score.

Finally another Switch 2 OST. That’s now 4 Switch 2 exclusives with their full OST added (excluding the Nintendo Switch 2 Editions). Hopefully Star Fox is next.

Donkey Kong Bananza released one year ago! I think it's still the best original game Nintendo's made for Switch 2.

And they’ve just added the entire Bananza OST to Nintendo Music!! First one I listed to was “King K.Rool is Back!”

I love all of this and I most especially LOVE Dixie Kong

Happy Bananzaversary! :D I haven't played it but i have incredibly fond memories of DKC1 and 2 from my childhood. Legendary game series.

@dkvine.com

It was one year ago today. The long, long wait for a new 3D Donkey Kong game, and the true start of the new era for the franchise, gave us something truly special. Bananza was nothing like what fans had long daydreamed of, but it was everything we and the series needed. dkvine.com/Donkey_Kong_...

They’ve just added the entire Bananza OST to Nintendo Music!! I was literally saying this morning that I really want them to add it

One Year of the Switch 2's crown jewel exclusive being in our lives. I remember the days I spent playing through the campaign like it were yesterday. Seeing Dixie Kong and Diddy Kong in Racing Layer brought a level of satisfaction no other Switch 2 exclusive has recreated. I love DK Bananzs

Frank A. Inglese1

I JUST NOW started exploring DK Island today (and took pictures of all the easter eggs I can find). Yep, I actually procrastinated on this for a long while because I was busy doing a lot of other things. What does that make me?🙃

One year in and it's still the crown jewel of the Switch 2 library. The wait for a new 3D Donkey Kong was long, but Bananza delivered exactly what the series needed. video games on Amazon

1 year since Donkey Kong Bananza. The 3D Donkey Kong game I had been dreaming about for years. Near perfect game for me, a true Nintendo classic

Might be my favorite 3D collectathon platformer ever. Either that or Jak and Daxter.

I need to replay this at some point. It didn't fully click with me, but I loved destroying stuff. Hope they keep fully destructible terrains for the next game.

Couldn't have said it better myself, Roger. To share my love of it some more, here's the Print I drew last December that pretty much cemented Donkey Kong Bananza as my Game of the Year for 2025.
