The highly anticipated game, Donkey Kong Bananza, has already sparked excitement with its secret banana alphabet, which a dedicated fan decoded well before its release. Dive into the fascinating story of how the secret language was unraveled and what it means for eager fans.
Donkey Kong Bananza Secret Banana Alphabet Decoded
Even though Donkey Kong Bananza hasn't hit the shelves yet, a passionate fan, 2Chrispy, has cracked the code of a secret banana alphabet. On April 27, 2Chrispy shared a detailed video on YouTube titled "I Decoded the Ancient Monkey Scrolls of Donkey Kong Bananza," where he meticulously explained his journey to decipher the "Ancient Monkey Scrolls." This hidden language, dubbed "bananbet," appeared across various game trailers, gameplay footage, and the official website.
Creating a unique language for a game is nothing new; Nintendo previously did this with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Hylian. However, decoding a secret language before the game's launch is a rare feat. This showcases the dedication and enthusiasm of Donkey Kong fans, who are eagerly awaiting more details about the game. While the authenticity of the secret alphabet remains unconfirmed, 2Chrispy's thorough analysis and detailed process have convinced many fans of its accuracy.
Thanks, Chip Exchange
In his video, 2Chrispy breaks down how he cracked the "bananbet," starting with the phrase "Chip Exchange." When players collect a Banandium Chip, a pop-up message reads: "Trade these for bananas at any Chip Exchange." 2Chrispy meticulously analyzed game trailers frame-by-frame to locate the "Chip Exchange" and used the signage as his starting point for deciphering.
He noticed that the symbols on the signage corresponded to the number of letters in "exchange," and the recurring letter "e" supported his theory. He then applied this method to other symbols found in available screenshots and trailers, using a word finder app to piece together the rest of the alphabet.
While these findings are still speculative, the dedication and effort 2Chrispy put into analyzing the game's content are commendable. As fans eagerly await more news about Donkey Kong Bananza, this discovery might inspire them to delve deeper into the available trailers and screenshots for more hidden secrets.
Donkey Kong Bananza is scheduled for release on July 17, 2025, exclusively on the Nintendo Switch 2. Stay tuned for more updates by checking out our article below!
