Donkey Kong Bananza artist mode sees creative player sculptures shared online

Donkey Kong Bananza has launched on Nintendo Switch 2, and players are already showcasing their creativity using the game’s artist mode. This feature, which allows players to sculpt 3D shapes, colour them, and share their creations online, has quickly become a highlight for many.

In artist mode, players use rock-sculpting powers within Bananza to design sculptures with the help of Joy-Con mouse controls, enabling detailed crafting beyond traditional joystick use.

This control system has made it easier for players to create precise and intricate designs, and as users become more familiar with the system, the shared creations are increasing in quality.

Among the creations shared, players have crafted recognisable Nintendo characters such as Donkey Kong, Samus, and Luigi, alongside characters from other franchises, including Banjo from Banjo-Kazooie.

Some players have ventured outside the gaming sphere, crafting sculptures of characters and objects from broader popular culture, showcasing the versatility of Bananza’s artist mode.

However, players are reminded that while the mode allows for freedom, sharing inappropriate sculptures online could lead to account restrictions from Nintendo, which enforces guidelines on shared content.
