Nintendo has resumed monthly rotations for Donkey Kong Bananza's limited-time DLC events, starting October 1st, 2026. Players who missed previous events now have another chance to participate.
The final Emerald Rush event concluded in September with "Bananza Antics," which allowed players to unlock Candy Kong and Funky Kong statues. Nintendo has published a schedule for the returning events on its official Japanese website, detailing which challenges will rotate through in the coming months.
To access these events, players must purchase the paid DLC. Once they do, DK and Pauline gain access to DK Island, where the monthly challenges take place. Nintendo Life has published a guide tracking which statues and rewards return with each event.
The restart of the monthly rotation gives players a structured path to collect cosmetic rewards they may have missed during the initial event run.
