Donkey Kong Bananza Takes Inspiration From Dark Souls and You May Not Have Even Realized It

Nintendo’s recently released Donkey Kong Bananza takes inspiration from Dark Souls, though this may have flown under the radar for many players.

Donkey Kong Bananza Takes Inspiration From Dark Souls and You May Not Have Even Realized It

One user online has noticed that Donkey Kong Bananza features a mechanic it likely took from Dark Souls: after being defeated, players can go back to the spot where they died and retrieve their lost gold. This is a very well-known Dark Souls mechanic, where if players die, they drop all their souls and can later come back to the same spot to recover them—otherwise, they’re gone. Donkey Kong Bananza has been out for less than 10 days, and this DS-inspired feature may have flown under the radar for many.
