Compared to previous Donkey Kong titles, the developers have made interesting improvements to the game, keeping in mind the console's hardware. These changes will enhance the overall gaming experience for Nintendo Switch 2 users. Under these changes, players will find:
- Upgraded graphics and visuals: Players will be able to destroy their environment with more impact and effect. For instance, when the gorilla tries to break something, it will shatter into many pieces. In short, the attention to visual detail is spectacular.
- Open-world adventures: This version of Donkey Kong will include many areas that can be explored by players to make progress in the game. One can jump onto higher platforms to move forward. This can be done by using slam attacks, which also help players collect hidden rewards when exploring newer areas and performing tasks.
- The audio: While destroying things, players may get stuck in some spots or find themselves lost in a newer area of the game. In such a case, tunes play in the background to help them find a way out. There's also the Odd Rock, which works as a tracker.
