Donkey Kong Bananza

Banandium Gems are an important resource in Donkey Kong Bananza, and you will spend a lot of time trying to acquire them in order to advance your gameplay. While some Banandium Gems can only be found in the post-ending game, the vast majority can be found during the course of your adventures.

This Donkey Kong Bananza guide is all about what Banandium Gems are, what they do, and how to get some.

What Are Banandium Gems

The Gems are simply a collectible which automatically grants a skill point each time a certain number of them have been amassed. Various skills require different quantities of skill points, and skill upgrades require an increasing number of them to achieve the maximum level.

With a vast number of base and Bananza transformation skills to unlock and upgrade, you will be in a continuous need for Gems.

Farming Banandium Gems

Banandium Gems are a finite resource, with several hundreds to be found across all Layers, in specific numbers per Layer. Their locations are either fixed in the course of story progression, or involve completion of an objective or Challenge. Some, however, can be acquired through the trade of both Banandium Chips and gold at various Chip Exchanges scattered across different Layers. And those Chips and gold can both be farmed relatively easily through normal gameplay.

Other Rewards

Aside from granting skill points, the only other milestone to be achieved is getting a star for the game’s save file by collecting all Banandium Gems.

That is everything there is to know about Banandium Gems and how to get some fast in Donkey Kong Bananza.
