Before we begin, a reminder that this is a guide dedicated exclusively to a single Layer, which is what Donkey Kong Bananza's game "worlds" are called. If you want general tips and tricks for finding bananas or a hub for access to all the guides for all the Layers, check out Donkey Kong Bananza: Guide to Collecting all 777 Banandium Gems.
Also, keep in mind that the name of each banana in the list below already gives you a clue on how to get it, and then you can compare your map with ours to find out which ones you're missing. If you're missing one, let us know the number in the comments and we'll tell you how to get it.
Finally, the last Layer, the goal of your entire journey: the core of the planet. Here we can talk about it without any restrictions. No more spoilers, because if you've made it this far, you already know the truth. The brilliant revelation that the game had masterfully hidden from right under your nose from the beginning, as if it were The Sixth Sense. That Void wasn't the real villain of the game, that what at first looked like the Banandium Vein and which golden hemisphere shape looked suspiciously familiar... was the belly of King K. Rool! That your arch-enemy was slumbering and now that you have awakened him, he is after the real Banandium Vein in the centre of the planet. That with his awakening, the Kremling also take off their mask - that all the grunt enemies you had faced were skeletons of the long-time Kremling enemies and you hadn't noticed! That the amber insect in your fossil collection was a spoiler in itself all along.
Run after King K. Rool, but don't leave a single banana behind in the 10 sublayers that make up the final stretch to the Heart of Gold...
