Nintendo has announced that Donkey Kong Bananza<\/a>‘s next DLC event will begin next week.<\/p>\n

Titled ‘Rattlin’ Snake Bananza’, this one starts on 12th May 2026 and is scheduled to run until 19th May 2026. You’ll have the chance to grab two new in-game statues: Snake Bananza and Rattly the Rattesnake.<\/p>\n

Here’s a look at the precise times the event gets underway in your region:<\/p>\n

North America: 1am PDT \/ 2am MDT \/ 3am CDT \/ 4am EDTUK\/Ire: 9am BSTEurope: 10am CEST \/ 11am EESTAsia\/Oceania: 5pm JST \/ 4pm AWST \/ 6pm AEST<\/p>\n

As demonstrated in the below image from Nintendo, the event will take place in the Radiance Layer which, by remarkable coincidence, is how I refer to my swanky tweed jacket.<\/p>\n

Naturally, you’ll need to make you have access to the Donkey Kong Bananza: DK Island & Emerald Rush DLC, so if you haven’t bought it yet and fancy having a go, now might be the time to do so. Or not, no pressure either way.<\/p>\n
