The Groove Layer is the thirteenth layer of Donkey Kong Bananza and its music will guide you to hidden Banandium Gems. Here’s where to find all of the bananas.
The Groove Layer is the thirteeneth layer and it’s where you’ll restore the groove to Donkey Kong Bananza
As you’re bringing music back to the disco hall, you’ll find that a lot of Banandium Gems are very well hidden. You’ll need to utilize the Swap Harp to change rubber to gold and vice versa to collect a decent chunk of these bananas. However, as Donkey Kong is bigger, faster, and stronger too, you’ll be able to collect all of the Banandium Gems in no time!
Below, we list where to find all of the Banandium Gems in the Groove Layer we’ve found so far in Donkey Kong Bananza. We’re still updating this guide with more golden bananas as we find them.Sublayer 1300 Banandium Gems
We’ve found 26 Banandium Gems in Sublayer 1300 in the Groove Layer.
Before you start, a lot of the bananas in the Groove Layer are easier to find and collect after you’ve beaten the layer’s boss. You’ll regain your Bananza powers, allowing you to utilize your elephant form’s suction and chunk abilities and your snake form’s charge jump ability. These abilities will allow you to bypass a lot of the swapping that you’ll need to do. Additionally, a large hole will appear in the location where the triangular speaker was, so you don’t need to break through the floor.
Return to the jail after you’ve restored the bass source in the main story, and pay 500 gold to the Constructone to build a Swap Harp. Change your jail cell’s door to gold and break it. To pass over the concrete wall, use a chunk of gold as well. Now, go back and use the harp again to turn all of the gold into rubber. Continue down the hallway into the room with the rubber bananas, and dive punch on top of the largest bananas to reach the ceiling. From there, you just need to make your way to the banana.
After you’ve restored the bass source, head to the Disco Hall and pay the Constructone 500 gold to install a Swap Harp. Use the harp to change the rubber portion of the ground around the large triangle speaker into gold and break it. There is a barrel in this lower segment. Use it to return to the Disco Hall, where you want to activate the harp once again. Now, go back to the lower level you just accessed and break the ground below the barrel. Start digging the tunnel in front of you, but be careful with the hidden explosives. At the end, you will find a banana.
Grab a gold chunk on the top floor of the jail and drop down to the second level. Throw it at the concrete bars and head inside to grab the banana.
This banana is only available after you’ve completed the bass source portion of the Groove Layer and constructed a Swap Harp in the jail.
Return to the jail and jump up to the second floor using the rubber Fractone. Make your way to the next floor and find the cell with the gold Fractone. Grab a chunk of gold and drop down to the second level to destroy the concrete jail door where you find Banandium Gem #3. Drop drop to the lowest floor and hit the Swap Harp to turn the rubber into gold. Grab a chunk of the gold Fractone and wait for it to regenerate. Chunk jump to the next floor using the gold Fractone as a stepping stone and head inside the jail cell. Destroy the gold Fractone inside to find a hidden room with a banana.
This banana is only available after you’ve completed the bass source portion of the Groove Layer and constructed a Swap Harp in the jail.
You’ll find this banana is a hidden room in one of the cells on the second floor. Make your way up to the second floor to find a Constructone locked inside a cell. To your right, you’ll find a gold Fractone. Take a chunk of the Fractone and throw it at the Swap Harp to turn the rubber door into gold.
