Nintendo created the biggest adventure in Donkey Kong by breaking everything

create Kong Panza donkey I started destroying.

“What we really went to is this game that comes from destruction,” Bananza Director Kazoy Takahashi says in an interview with freedom. From that simple hypothesis, BananzaCreators built a full game about breaking things.

Bananza It is the second major 2 major key from Nintendo, which is By the same developers who worked on it Super Mario OdysseOne of the games that appeared during the original key launch window. According to developers on BananzaDonkey Kong appetite to destroy with his beloved banana, as one might expect, but with cheese.

“We have used Voxel technology in Super Mario OdysseHe says Bananza Product Kenta Motokura. “For example, in the lunch kingdom, you can dig through large piles of cheese, and in the snow kingdom, you can plow your way through snow.”

Voxels, simply, are the pieces that make up a digital world. In the same way as the smallest pixel unit in a flat digital image, Voxel is similar to the smallest unit of 3D object, and Nintendo technology was working with a return to the original key days. In reality, Like a lot Mario Cart World Beforeand Bananza It was originally planned to be the OG switch address.

“We have taken into account all these possibilities using Foxel technology,” says Motukora. “But we realized when we learned about switching 2 that there are greater possibilities to explore it.”

These are the largest two sides: diversity in the types of materials that could crash DK and the ability to make this destruction still exists. “With switching 2, we found that we can create many different types of destructive things,” says Takahashi. “This creates a very diverse experience in the in -game destruction.”

in BananzaThere is a very little DK that cannot be broken, shattered layers of rocks, clay, snow, fork and molten chocolate that disguise like lava. They break in different ways and make different sounds when hitting them. Instead of the appearance of a large part of the destroyed materials after some time, some games with destructive environments do, the damage to which you stick.

“What is really important to that experience is that this destruction is continuing,” Takahashi continues. “You can destroy something and find something interesting behind it, then destroy something behind it, and continue to continue the new discoveries.”

For developers, another part of Bananza The puzzle was discovering who was the donkey Kung now. It was not a kind of personality to go to explor Kong 64 donkey26 years ago. It is rarely alone, accompanied by any number of the owner of the owner Kong or related to everything Mario and friends do at that time. It is not alone in Bananza Either, this time he wandered with a young Paulin.

It is logical that Pauline would accompany him, because in the deep science of the donkey Kong, Paulin was the woman (or a smaller copy of Kurk Kong) was originally kidnapped. Kong donkey Passage game. But DK has already has an exhibition of Sidekicks, and Motokura says that the subject of the partners came early in the development process, as Pauline was one of the capabilities.

“In a very early idea, Pauline will be a good option in this case, but it was not immediately implemented,” he says. The addition of Pauline will come only later as the development team has employed the types of forces that DK will use.

There are animals that can be transformed by a Kung donkey, with every animal that gives it unique strength. Its basic shape, which is simply DK itself, is allowed to destroy more difficult materials, such as concrete. It is allowed to run the zebra by running over water and other fragmented materials. There are many animal forces that DK can use, and developers have asked the music department to create special songs for each transfer. Pauline is a performance. We got a little during the performance of the new city of Donk in Super Mario Odysse. Once it is proven that music will begin with transformations of Donkey Kong, Pauline has become a natural occasion as a side owner.

“From this idea,” Motkura says, suddenly it was, “Well, well, Pauline should be the one who sings.” Pauline music is an integral part of the game like DK’s destruction. Her singing creates musical notes that DK can follow to the next goal and help her communicate with the creatures they face. She even allows her to enter into destructive pleasure.

“We also have a chance for the second player to control Pauline’s vocal explosions that affect the enemies and the environment,” says Motukora. So, many unique play ideas occurred in place in place Kong Panza donkey Once we put Paulin as a accompanying character. “

in BananzaYour job is to move quickly and break things. It is baked in almost every aspect of the game, to its user interface, where choosing an option adjusts the corresponding button to small pieces. Although the idea of ​​”Just Break Stuff” looks like it will be one small game to hang a game on it, the developers have created a game that you must break.
