Each band features the character’s silhouette. The Donkey Kong design includes bananas, while the Diddy Kong design features a star.

In DONKEY KONG COUNTRY, the slot game is the only activity that requires a band. You can still have plenty of fun without one, but having a band unlocks even more ways to enjoy the area.

A band also adds more interactive fun while you wait in line for Donkey Kong’s Mine-Cart Madness.

Each band costs $30.63 including tax.

If you do not have one yet, this is a great opportunity to pick one up!

Exchange rate used: US$1 = ¥160.

Captivated by its appeal, I now share ways to enjoy the "post-Expo" era and highlight events and spots that can only be experienced right now.

Valuing the genuine excitement and emotion felt during my visits,
I provide authentic coverage of experiences that make you want to go—from gourmet food to limited-time events.

Next stop: EXPO 2027 Yokohama.
I look forward to continuing to share the excitement and inspiration of that experience with you.
