Overview
- Nintendo confirmed a limited physical collectible of 39 cards as a reward for completing the DK Challenge, with 24 cards drawn from Donkey Kong Bananza and 15 from retro Donkey Kong challenges.
- The reward is restricted to players who complete every mission in the DK Challenge on a Nintendo Switch 2 while holding an active Nintendo Switch Online membership.
- Donkey Kong Bananza ownership is required to finish every mission, and players must complete all tasks before the event ends on September 1, 2026 to qualify.
- Nintendo said My Nintendo platinum points will not be needed and that qualifying players will receive an email in October with instructions on how to redeem the printed card set.
- The move extends Nintendo’s recent use of physical collectibles to drive digital engagement and could push Switch 2 owners to buy Bananza or keep Switch Online active to secure the limited reward.
