Fan Decodes Donkey Kong Bananza's Secret Banana Alphabet Pre-Launch

Donkey Kong Bananza's secret language has been a hot topic among fans, and one dedicated enthusiast has already cracked the code before the game's release. Dive into the details of the secret banana alphabet and how this fan managed to decipher it.

Donkey Kong Bananza Secret Banana Alphabet Decoded

Ancient Monkey Scrolls

Even though Donkey Kong Bananza hasn't hit the shelves yet, a passionate fan has unearthed and decoded its secret banana alphabet. On April 27, YouTube user 2Chrispy shared a video titled "I Decoded the Ancient Monkey Scrolls of Donkey Kong Bananza," walking viewers through his journey in deciphering the "Ancient Monkey Scrolls." This hidden banana letter system has been spotted across the game’s trailers, gameplay footage, and official website.

Creating an invented language for a game is nothing new, as seen with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s Hylian language. However, cracking the code before the game's release is a rare feat.

This achievement showcases the dedication of Donkey Kong fans or perhaps their restlessness while awaiting further news about the game. While the secret alphabet's authenticity remains unconfirmed, 2Chrispy's thorough analysis and meticulous process have convinced many fans of its accuracy.

Thanks, Chip Exchange

In his video, 2Chrispy details how he deciphered the "bananbet" letters, beginning with the phrase "Chip Exchange." When players collect a Banandium Chip, a pop-up message reads: "Trade these for bananas at any Chip Exchange." By meticulously analyzing the game’s trailers frame-by-frame, 2Chrispy sought out the "Chip Exchange" location, hypothesizing that the signage might serve as his starting point.

He noticed that the symbols on the signage corresponded to the number of letters in "exchange," with the repeating "e" lending credence to his theory. He then applied this method to other symbols found in available screenshots and game trailers, using a word finder app to piece together the puzzle.

Although these findings remain theoretical and speculative, the effort and dedication shown in analyzing the game's content are commendable. As fans eagerly await more news about the game, this discovery may inspire further investigations into the available trailers and screenshots.

Donkey Kong Bananza is scheduled for release on July 17, 2025, exclusively on the Nintendo Switch 2. Stay updated with the latest on the game by checking out our article below!
