Donkey Kong Bananza: The Junction Banandium Gems

The Junction is the point in Donkey Kong Bananza where the two previously diverging paths come back together as one. It's only a small zone, but there's still a handful of Banandium Gems to pick up.

There's a total of 15 Banandium Gems to pick up in this region, and we've got the rundown of 'em all in the following map and list.

If you want to make sure that you've mopped up every Banandium Gem up to this point, you can swing back over to our Banandium Gem Locations guide hub.

The Junction Banandium Gem Locations

Most of these will only be available to you once you've polished off the Freezer and Forest Layers, so make sure they are both out of the way first. You might also encounter a couple of Gems that require you to wrap up The Junction's main boss before returning to the layer at a later time.
