Donkey Kong Bananza marks the first time in over two decades that we’ve seen our favorite big ape in a 3D platformer. So, it goes without saying that Nintendo wanted to go all out with DK’s return to the third dimension, offering players an absolutely staggering amount of creative gameplay and wacky mechanics to enjoy. And that’s why you’ll spend a lot of your time punching through materials–but you’ll even get to transform into a variety of other creatures along the way. Yeah, it’s a pretty wild ride.

There are a total of five transformations in Donkey Kong Bananza, each one providing our big, hairy hero with unique abilities he can use for a limited time. You’ll get all of them by meeting giant elders during the core campaign, and you’ll need to use them to complete both main and optional objectives throughout the game world. So, don’t worry about missing any of them–just focus on enjoying the time you spend transformed!

Even better, you can swap between transformations while in Bananza mode by pressing the D-Pad left or right, letting you string together each of their unique abilities when the time comes. By mastering the Bananza mode and knowing when to switch to these different transformations, you’ll find that you’re an unstoppable force of nature!

Below are all five of the transformations available in Donkey Kong Bananza, what they do, and which elder you’ll meet to get them during the campaign.
