There are no special editions available for Donkey Kong Bananza. Your only decision is whether to opt for the physical or digital format.
Nintendo has introduced a new $79.99 price point for some Switch 2 games, such as Mario Kart World, and even for some upgraded original Switch games like Super Mario Party Jamboree. However, they've decided to keep Donkey Kong Bananza at $69.99. While this is $10 more than the standard price for most original Switch games, it's still a relief it's not the higher $79.99.
While many levels take place underground, the game also includes a variety of environments such as forests, canyons, lagoons, and frozen tundras. Staying true to the series' roots, you'll also encounter classic side-scrolling and mine cart rail-riding sections. It promises to be a fun experience.
