Donkey Kong Fans Get a New Rally Towel in Celebration of Bananza
There’s something special about owning a bit of gaming memorabilia, and for those who can’t get enough of Donkey Kong, Nintendo has made a collector’s dream come true. The My Nintendo Rewards program just added the Donkey Kong Bananza Rally Towel, designed to pump up fans and mark the release of the latest game, Donkey Kong Bananza.
This towel isn’t just some bland chunk of fabric. Measuring in at a compact 8 by 12 inches, the towel shows Donkey Kong himself in the middle of a minecart dash—one of those classic moves that longtime fans know from the frantic action of his games. If you think it’s just a mere keepsake, think again; the design nails the spirit of the new game, looking energetic enough to make you want to jump onto the tracks with DK and Pauline as they take on their latest adventure.
The towel comes at a cost most loyal Nintendo fans are pretty familiar with: 650 Platinum Points. These points aren’t too tough to rack up if you’ve been using Nintendo’s digital services, playing apps, or engaging regularly with the company’s products. But don’t sit back and wait too long; the reward is strictly limited, so once it’s gone, that’s it. You can only order one per Nintendo Account, which keeps things fair and stops resellers from swooping in to buy up the whole batch.
There’s one catch many overlook—the towel is available only in North America, and snagging it means signing up or already having a My Nintendo account, which is free but does require a Nintendo Account as well. After redeeming your points, be ready to pay for shipping, which Nintendo charges separately. It's a small price, but worth knowing ahead of time, especially if you’re budgeting for more gaming swag this month.
More Than Just a Towel: Expanding the Bananza Collection
This new item doesn’t arrive alone. It’s a part of a bigger collection that celebrates the launch of Donkey Kong Bananza, including digital goodies like themed stationery for your desktop, wallpapers for your phone, and more. Nintendo pushes these small but meaningful collectibles to make the rewards ladder feel more playful and less about stashing digital points in a forgotten account.
For collectors, little extras like this towel are more than just practical—they’re a piece of gaming history. Anyone who’s followed Donkey Kong since his first barrel toss will get a kick out of this nod to his legacy, especially as physical rewards become rarer in a digital-first world. Nintendo also reminds fans to check all the terms when it comes to shipping policies and any possible returns, mostly because this is one of those "while supplies last" situations where hesitation could mean missing out completely.
If you’re the type to snag every themed item or just want something new for your next gaming night, the Bananza Rally Towel is one of those funky little treasures that’s bound to stand out on your shelf—or maybe even at your next picnic or gym session. But don't dawdle; Nintendo’s bonuses have a habit of vanishing as fast as Donkey Kong makes off with a stash of bananas.
