InDonkey Kong Bananza, Donkey Kong outfits are comprised of three pieces: Ties, Britches, and Fur Color. Of these threecosmetics Donkey Kong can get, only Ties and Britches will provide some kind of in-game buff or other benefit. Fur Color is purely cosmetic.
In thefirst half ofDonkey Kong Bananza, players travel through the Lagoon, Hilltop, Canyon, Freezer, and Forest layers, each of which features a Style Shop where DK and Pauline can unlock new looks. Follow this list of the best Donkey Kong outfits to get early inDonkey Kong Bananzato learn what you should buy first at each Style Shop.
5Current Layer Hazard Britches
Mitigate The Dangers Of The Current Layer With Britches
Many of the layers throughoutDonkey Kong Bananzafeature some kind ofenvironmental hazard Donkey Kong and Pauline must avoidas they explore the level. For example, in the Canyon layer, you will be presented with Mud for the first time, a substance that significantly reduces DK’s movement speed and can’t be climbed.
Each of the Style Shops in these levels offers a set of Britches for Donkey Kong that can help mitigate some of the effects or reduce damage inflicted by these hazardous surfaces. These are worth picking up if you have the fossils, and can be upgraded to be more effective if you spend more Fossils to increase their stats.
In the first half of the game, look for theTraction Britchesto make DK move faster in mud and snow, theHot-Pink Britchesto reduce damage taken from Ice Water, thePoison-Proof Britchesto mitigate the damage dealt by poisonous water, and theBurn-Proof Britchesto reduce the damage you take on fiery or lava surfaces.
4Bananergy Tie
The Bananergy Tie is one of thefirst major upgrades players can get for Donkey Kong, and it’s one of the best outfits for DK inDonkey Kong Bananzaif you want to trigger a Bananza transformation more often. This simple Tie increases the amount of Bananergy (which fuels Donkey Kong’s Bananza forms) when you collect gold.
This does not apply to the Melon food item you may find that also restores Bananergy, just Gold.
Pick up this Tie, equip it, and watch as you more easily get enough Bananergy to trigger Bananza transformations. Even with just a 25% boost, it’s a noticeable improvement, but you can further upgrade this item to increase Bananergy gained by 50%, then 100% – effectively doubling its strength at Rank 3.

3Dig-It Neckerchief
The Dig-It Neckerchief is one of the best ties for Bananergy restoration inDonkey Kong Bananzabecause it essentially lets DK destroy terrain to restore Bananergy (in addition to collecting gold). With this DK outfit,Donkey Kong Bananzaplayers will be able touse Bananza powers much more often.
The one downside to this outfit is that it can’t be found until relatively late in the game in the Freezer layer (L500).

2Treasure Tie
The Treasure Tie is a great item because it can be acquired extremely early in the game and provides an effect you will find useful throughout all seventeen layers inDonkey Kong Bananza. Normally, DK has a small chance to reveal a Treasure Chest while digging through terrain in any level.
This chest may contain a heap of gold,a Fossil Map, a Banandium Gem Map, or other collectible item.
With the Treasure Tie equipped, your chance to reveal these chests is increased by 10%, and can be upgraded further to increase your chance by 20% and eventually 30%. This powerful and handy outfit for DK inDonkey Kong Bananzacan be found in the first proper level of the game, right after you descend into the earth when the title screen appears.

1Battle Bow Tie
Though the Treasure Tie is undoubtedly useful throughout the game, doubly so because you may get it in thefirst major level of the game (Lagoon), the Battle Bow Tie offers a more noticeable buff. With the Battle Bow Tie equipped,Donkey Kong Bananzaplayers will be able to recover Bananergy (and trigger a Bananza transformation) by defeating enemies.
At first, this upgrade is not too noticeable unless you are fighting off a huge group of peekaboopoids (the small, multicolored squid-like enemies). But you can upgrade its effectiveness to be 50% more powerful, then double as powerful as default. This is the best outfit for Donkey Kong inDonkey Kong Bananzabecause it grants an additional way to fuel your Bananza transformations, makes multi-enemy boss fights a breeze to get through, and lets you maintain a Bananza throughout an entire Combat Challenge with ease.
