We heard rumours<\/a> of some incoming NSO challenges yesterday, and in today’s Direct, they materialised.<\/p>\n

The ‘DK Challenge’ event kicks off tomorrow, 10th June, at 2am BST \/ 3am CET \/ 6pm PT (9th) \/ 9pm ET (9th), and will be sticking around until 1st September.<\/p>\n

These new challenges will put your skills to the test across a series of NSO titles, with digital challenge cards handed out as rewards. These tasks might be as simple as taking the Barrels all the way to the top of a level in Donkey Kong Country 2<\/a>, or flying through the mine cart level of Donkey Kong Country<\/a>, and they can all be accessed from the Nintendo Switch Online home page, found at the bottom of the Switch main menu.<\/p>\n

The challenges also extend into Donkey Kong Bananza<\/a>, with tasks available for beginners and harder ‘Developer Challenges’ for the pro gamers out there.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Bananza, there’s a limited-time Mario event coming to the Emerald Rush DLC<\/a>, where you can pick up exclusive DK and Pauline outfits, and find Power-Up Blocks \/ Mushrooms on DK Island. The first wave of this crossover event runs from 9th-30th June, with follow-ups on 14th-21st July, 4th – 11th August, and 25th August – 1st September.<\/p>\n
