I haven't gotten a chance to tackle this Freezer layer challenge yet. How is everybody finding it? What's the theme to the perks this time around?

I'm not really sure what the theme is but the event was kinda easy, the main difficulty comes from remembering where the fossils are but you can get Fossil Radar perk early so it's not too bad, after that just pick encore groove and banana slamma perks and just stay in a bananza form all the time (zebra is the most useful to get around the layer quicker but elephant is also helpful), getting extra warp barrels is also helpful
It maybe goes without saying but try to not break too many banandium gems before leveling up the banana slamma perk a few times

Beat it first try, which hasn't happened with the last couple of events. Nice to have an easier one. Looking forward to the reveal of the next event!

the japanese news section revealed that the next event will take place on the forest layer and it will have expresso and ostrich bananza statues as rewards

Pretty sure we'll get statues of Ellie and Rattly in addition to the Elephant and Snake Bananzas, but it's odd how Zebra was left out this time.

Dang, the Frozen level is great!

I avoided it & chose forest level, because I didn't like the idea of a snow level for DK. But I didn't realize the frozen level was a sweets, ice cream, and chocolate level. Frozen level has gotten me back into Bananza.

I chose Forest Layer at first, but now I actually prefer the Freezer Layer. Forest has the Bramble Blast 2D challenge course and a better boss, but Freezer has a better theme and better music. It's not your typical fire and ice stage. The ice cream and chocolate are pretty neat.

Anybody try the Forest Layer event? I haven't gotten the chance just yet.

I got both of the statues
I didn't like this one, I haven't played Emerald Rush on Forest Layer before this event but this is my least favorite map for this mode so far, often when you kill an enemy the emeralds they drop fall into the poison so they disappear, and it happens more the further you get because the terrain gets destroyed as you go
After a few tries I got the strategy down but it was still annoying

I think this is the easiest event since the first one. Go for Ostrich Bananza from the start and choose a lot of the Egg Groove, Munchoid Demolisher, and Eggsplosive Beat perks with a couple of Barrel Bump-Up and maybe some Hurtin' Heart or Hang-Time Beat. I just stayed at Rubbery Roost to farm the Munchoids there. Never went to the Eggshell Hotel at all, just the Annex in Mossplume Marsh for a banana and two fossils.

The japanese news section for the game revealed that the next event will start on march 31st and it will take place on DK Island, the title of it roughly translates to "Unchanging Strength"

@Sylamp Yeah, with statues of Tiny Kong and Wrinkly Kong. Tiny will apparently have her taller redesign from Diddy Kong Racing DS and the Paon DK games. Wrinkly should be a ghost.

I gotta say, I wouldn’t mind if these Emerald Rush events happened slightly more frequently. Not that I don’t have other games to play, but…

Finally rolled the end credits yesterday.

It was a Saturday morning and I turned on the game after reading the news. I cannot describe the resulting whiplash.

Life mimicking art to a frankly embarrassing degree. I’d accuse Bananza of being too on the nose with its commentary if the order of events weren’t the wrong way around.

@Maxz I'd also add the coincidence of both villains' obsession with cage matches.

King of Rot, indeed.

In case you need something lighter after this, here is an artist's interpretation of a typical Bananza speedrun. (Content warning: extremely fast animation, loud noises, endgame spoilers.)

The next Emerald Rush event is in May from the 12th through the 19th in Radiance Layer with Rattly and Snake Bananza statues.

@Maxz Man, don't insult King K. Rool like that. He didn't deserve that smoke. 😂
