《咚奇剛 焦力全開（Donkey Kong Bananza）》是任天堂Switch 2平台最受期待的原創作品之一，預計將於2025年7月17日推出。這是咚奇剛自《咚奇剛64》和《熱帶急凍》以來，首度以單獨主角之姿回歸3D動作平台遊戲舞台，也是該系列睽違多年再度回歸的重量級作品。

故事圍繞著咚奇剛與一群反派公司「VoidCo」之間的對抗展開。VoidCo正在大舉搜尋名為「黃金香蕉」的神秘寶物（形狀類似香蕉的鑽石），企圖奪取自然資源壟斷市場。咚奇剛則與神祕夥伴「奇岩（Odd Rock）」聯手，為了保衛家園深入地底礦坑、叢林遺跡與神廟古地展開冒險。雖然老面孔克蘭奇也會出場，但本作的焦點明顯是咚奇剛個人英雄的成長與爆發。

最大賣點，在於「全場景可破壞」的設計。幾乎每一個動作都與破壞有關——揮拳砸牆、跳躍地震、抓起物體丟擲，甚至能拆解環境地形來開啟新路徑或發現隱藏區域。整個關卡設計朝向「探索式沙盒」靠攏，可以自由選擇破壞方式與前進路徑。

不少媒體將其玩法與《超級瑪利歐 奧德賽》相比，兩者都採用開放結構與多重目標收集（本作為「黃金香蕉」），但《咚奇剛 焦力全開》走的是截然不同的風格：瑪利歐強調技巧與精準，而咚奇剛則崇尚破壞與原始力量。

在公布後引發廣大回響，各大媒體與玩家在試玩後給予高度評價。美國《Polygon》形容它為「任天堂有史以來最能讓玩家『砸爛一切』的遊戲」，稱讚其玩法爽快且具高度自由度。《The Verge》則指出遊戲彌補Switch 2上市初期缺乏3D瑪利歐作品的空缺，肯定其「破壞即建設」的創新概念。

日媒如《Famitsu》和《電擊Online》也表示，畫面表現與物理互動上充分展現Switch 2的性能提升，是技術與樂趣兼具的動作鉅作。在實機體驗會中，許多玩家表示光是砸牆、拆地板、丟石頭這些動作就足以讓人沉迷數小時，遊戲的沉浸感與互動性極高，令人期待正式版本。

《咚奇剛 焦力全開》不僅是咚奇剛系列風格大轉彎，也為任天堂的3D動作平台遊戲帶來全新嘗試。它放棄傳統精密跳躍的框架，轉而擁抱粗獷、可破壞、節奏感強烈的「焦力玩法」。沙盒式的自由探索與物理互動，能真正體會到什麼叫「用拳頭探索世界」。

對於期待《奧德賽》續作的玩家來說，或許正是意外的驚喜與替代品。而對於咚奇剛粉絲而言，這更像是真正屬於「主角光環」的全新革命。這一次，不再只是背景吼叫的配角，而是打破所有框架的主角。

Donkey Kong Bananza is one of the most anticipated original titles for the Nintendo Switch 2 platform, scheduled for release on July 17, 2025. Marking Donkey Kong’s first return as a solo protagonist in a 3D action-platformer since Donkey Kong 64 and Tropical Freeze, this long-awaited installment reintroduces the beloved character in a bold, evolved form.

The story centers on Donkey Kong’s clash with a villainous corporation called VoidCo, which is aggressively hunting for a mysterious treasure known as the Golden Banana—a diamond-like artifact shaped like a banana. With plans to monopolize natural resources, VoidCo’s actions threaten the balance of Donkey Kong’s homeland. Teaming up with a mysterious new ally named Odd Rock, Donkey Kong embarks on a high-impact adventure through underground mines, jungle ruins, and ancient temples to protect his world. Though series veteran Cranky Kong makes a return, the narrative clearly spotlights Donkey Kong’s growth as a hero and his explosive solo comeback.

The game’s standout feature lies in its fully destructible environments. Almost every action ties into some form of destruction—punching through walls, seismic ground-pounds, throwing objects, or dismantling the landscape to reveal new paths or hidden areas. Level design leans toward a sandbox exploration style, offering players freedom to choose how they destroy and how they advance.

Many media outlets have compared its structure to Super Mario Odyssey, with both games emphasizing open-ended level design and multiple collectible goals (in this case, Golden Bananas). However, Donkey Kong Bananza takes a distinctly different approach in tone and gameplay: while Odyssey emphasizes precision and technique, Bananza celebrates raw power and primal force.

The announcement has stirred significant buzz, with critics and players alike offering glowing praise after early demos. U.S. media outlet Polygon described it as "Nintendo’s most smashable game ever," applauding its exhilarating gameplay and high degree of player freedom. The Verge noted that the game helps fill the gap left by the absence of a 3D Mario title at the Switch 2’s launch, calling its “destruction-as-progression” design a bold innovation.

Japanese outlets like Famitsu and Dengeki Online also commended the game for showcasing the Switch 2’s enhanced graphics and physics capabilities. At live demo events, many players reported spending hours just breaking walls, smashing floors, and throwing rocks—praising the game’s deeply immersive and interactive feel.

Donkey Kong Bananza represents not only a stylistic overhaul for the Donkey Kong franchise, but also a daring new direction for Nintendo’s 3D platformers. It abandons the traditional emphasis on precision jumps in favor of a rough-edged, destructible, rhythmically charged “power-core” experience. Its sandbox exploration and physics-driven interaction offer a tangible way to “explore the world with your fists.”

For those awaiting a sequel to Odyssey, this may serve as an unexpected delight and a worthy stand-in. And for longtime Donkey Kong fans, it feels like a long-overdue revolution—a true spotlight moment where Donkey Kong finally steps out of the background, not just roaring from the sidelines, but shattering every expectation as the hero in full command.
