Anyone who has played Donkey Kong Bananza can tell you the best part is the natural feeling of destroying terrain. So what if you could do that forever? A roguelike mode, Emerald Rush, will let you smash stuff indefinitely and earn rewards along the way. The paid expansion is $20, and available now.In Emerald Rush, Void Kong recruits you to gather a new currency, Emeralds. Emeralds work just like Gold does in the main game, but in Emerald Rush you need to collect it quickly. Void Kong will give you quotas to gather Emeralds, and you'll need to smash like mad for a few minutes at a time to gather them. Each round will also have several special objectives to complete for an Emerald bonus, like defeating a particular herd of enemies, smashing through a certain amount of rock, or high-fiving a rhino. Completing one objective in the chain prompts another, urging you to rush across the map to find it.Gallery You need to have completed the base game to unlock Emerald Rush, but your abilities will be wiped clean, so you won't immediately be the destructive force that you built up over the course of the story campaign. Instead, you'll find bananas mixed into the earth that grant you specific abilities like Turf Surf and Wind Up Punch, or Bananza skills like the Ostrich egg drop. To mix things up, every few rounds those skill-granting bananas are randomly reassigned. Meanwhile, finding fossils will unlock perks like increased Emeralds, higher chances of treasure chests, and so on, and you can stack those perks to multiply their effects.Continue Reading at GameSpot...
