Nintendo has released update 2.0.1 for Donkey Kong Bananza, addressing a handful of bugs and refining the overall gameplay experience. The update fixes an issue where players were unable to receive a disc reward after collecting all balloons in Bananza Rehearsal. With the patch, those who encountered the bug in earlier versions will automatically receive the reward when re-entering the stage.
Additional adjustments include resolving missing voice lines for Pauline when the system language is set to English (UK/Australia) and ensuring her voice plays properly in sync with the in-game settings. The update also brings several minor fixes and optimizations designed to smooth out performance and improve stability across the game.
