Where to find all Banandium Gems (golden bananas) in the Donkey Kong Bananza level Canyon Layer.
In Donkey Kong Bananza, the Canyon Layer is the third layer that you’ll crash land onto. It’s full of your crystalline friends, but now some of them are shaped like giraffes!
The Canyon Layer is home to warehouses full of Banandium Gems and smokestacks towering into the sky. The bananas in this layer are particularly difficult to find as you’ll need to weave your way up and down through the layers to collect them all.
Below, we list where to find all of the Banandium Gems in the Canyon Layer we’ve found so far in Donkey Kong Bananza. We’re still updating this guide and will add more golden bananas as we find them.Sublayer 300 Banandium Gems
There are 60 Banandium Gems in Sublayer 300 of the Canyon Layer.
Complete the main story quest in Hilltop Layer. When you jump down the hole into Canyon Layer, the gem will be waiting at the bottom.
After you land in the Canyon Layer, dig straight down until you land in a cave below you. Before you head into the larger cavern with Banandium Gem #3, turn around to find a breakable wall. Smash your way through to find the second banana.
From the starting area after you drop into the Canyon Layer, dig straight down. You’ll wind up in another section of the starting cave. There’s a gem hanging on the ceiling that you can climb up to and collect.
After you land in the Canyon Layer, look up to see a ladder leading to the top of the tower. Climb up the wall onto the ladder to find a Banandium Gem waiting for you at the top.
Interact with the glowing triangle and then smash the white blocks. Note that the map shows where you pick up the banana, but the actual triangle is slightly above that (from our provided map perspective).
Climb up Tallfall Cliff from the hole where the minecart it situated to find this banana sticking out of the cliffside.
Enter the hole in the minecart room in Tallfall Cliffs and dig down the left side of the “giraffe neck” (if you’re facing the barrel that shoots you back up).
After riding the first minecart in the Canyon Layer, you’ll find a stone home on your right. In its basement, you’ll find a Banandium Gem.
After you ride the first minecart, follow the path along the right edge until you run into a small rock blocking your way forward. Hop over the rock to find a small cave on your left. Head inside to find a Banandium Gem embedded into the wall.
After you ride the first minecart, climb the wall beside the Getaway and head towards the crystal shaped like a giraffe. Continue past the crystal giraffe while hugging the left edge until you hit a wall. Look over the left edge to spot a concrete barrier on the floor. Either throw a chunk of the bomb rock nearby or transform into Kong Bananza and dive punch your way through to find a Banandium Gem.
Before you climb up the ladder to head into the Longneck Plateau Village, look to the right to see a breakable wall. Destroy it to find the entrance to the Exploding Pork Platoon battle challenge. Defeat the 10 squeeloids to receive the gem.
To the side of the Style Shop in the Longneck Plateau Village, you’ll find a spinning stone pillar. Smash your way in to find a Banandium Gem.
As you enter the Longneck Plateau Village, you’ll find a Banandium Gem embedded in a pile of gold beside the tuning fork.
Speak with the NPC beside the gong in the Longneck Plateau Village to reveal this banana on the map. It’s located on a high shelf in the warehouse underneath the village. If you don’t land on the shelf, you can chunk jump to reach it.
Beside the Longneck Crystal at the Longneck Plateau Village tuning fork, you’ll find a wooden platform on the ground. Break it and drop down, where you’ll land on a flat Fractone friend. In the small pond beside the pipe, you’ll spot a sunken Banandium Gem. Dive punch the gem a few times to grab it.
Banandium Gems 16-18 can be found inside the Thorny Blast Cave Ancient Ruin. To get to the Thorny Blast Cave, you’ll need to blow up the concrete wall in the warehouse underneath the Longneck Plateau Village. Hit the mine embedded in the wall to destroy it and follow the path to find the Thorny Blast Cave.
In the Thorny Blast Cave, this Banandium Gem is found halfway through the course.
After you drop down through the metal grate in the Thorny Blast Cave, turn around to find a thorny wall full of mines. Blow up the mines to reveal the Banandium Gem behind it make your way over to collect the gem.
This Banandium Gem is found at the end of the Thorny Blast Cave just before the barrel.
Head to the area beneath the Longneck Plateau Village to find a small blue fish sleeping on top of a pipe. As you approach the fish, it’ll get scared and start to eat its way through the terrain. Follow it until it reaches a dead end, and break the area directly behind it to find a Banandium Gem.
In the underground warehouse below the Longneck Plateau Village, you’ll find a Fractone shaped like a puzzle piece. Head into the tunnel behind them to find a little Fractone and slowly lead them back to the puzzle piece to unlock this gem.
In the Underground Warehouse below the Longneck Plateau Village, you’ll find a crystal shaped like a puzzle piece. In a little divot in the wall, you’ll spot two circular crystals. These crystals cannot touch the water or else they’ll return to their starting point, so you’ll need to punch a pathway through the wall to safely lead them back.
