Donkey Kong Bananza: All the bananas in Tempest Layer

Before you dig into this guide, remember that it is dedicated to a specific Layer only. If you prefer to access general tips and tricks on how to collect bananas or are looking for a compilation of all the guides for the different Layers, you should visit this link: Donkey Kong Bananza: Guide to Collecting all 777 Banandium Gems.

Also, keep in mind that the name of each banana already serves as a clue to what we did to get it, which added to the comparison of our complete map with yours can help you a lot. And if you're missing a gem, let us know the number in the comments and we'll tell you how to get it.

What a contrast Tempest Layer is! Coming from Resort Layer, it's clear that the developers wanted a nice change of pace, setting, and mechanics. From leisurely strolls to constant dangers (even though this is actually a spa), from sunshine to thunder and lightning (and rain), and from rainbow rocks (although there is some here too), to the fourth special power and the most destructive/stress-reducing/fun of the whole game: the Elephant Bananza.

All the bananas in Tempest Layer and where to find them

Mrs. Elephant Elder, apart from being a top DJ like every other, also runs this Layer's Spa. Therefore, the second visit unlocks the Bananza Rehearsal: Elephant Auditorium, one of the most twisted post-game challenges.

Total: 70 bananas
Layer SL900: bananas 1-24
Layer SL901: bananas 25-33
Layer SL902: bananas 34-70
Underlined: new bananas, added after the end of the game.
