Nintendo Offers a Special Prize for DK Challenge Participants

The DK Challenge is a limited-time event open to active Nintendo Switch Online members on the Switch 2 system. The Donkey Kong Bananza game (sold separately) is required to complete challenges for that game. During the event, you can complete challenges to earn digital Challenge Cards for select games across the Donkey Kong series from the Nintendo Classics game libraries, as well as the Donkey Kong Bananza game. Some challenges are great for beginners, some for more experienced players, and all are geared toward having fun. Can you collect every Challenge Card before the event ends?

After the event ends, you can still view the Challenge Cards you earned by selecting your Profile icon in the top-left corner of the Nintendo Switch Online app on your Nintendo Switch 2 system. No My Nintendo Platinum Points are required to redeem this reward. Eligible members who complete the DK Challenge by September 1 at 12:59 a.m. PT will be notified in early October via a My Nintendo news article with instructions on how to claim the reward. This offer is available only to eligible players in the United States.
