With January firmly in the rear-view mirror, Nintendo is full-steam ahead on its next batch of in-game events for Donkey Kong Bananza<\/a>‘s Emerald Rush DLC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The new ‘Ostrich Riches’ (try saying that quickly) event begins today (17th February) and will be sticking around in the roguelike expansion until 24th Feb<\/strong> at 7:59am GMT \/ 8:59am CET \/ 11:59 PT (23rd)<\/strong>. That gives you just one week to get in and nab the rewards.<\/p>\n

But what’s up for grabs this time? Well, it’s another pair of statues for those who perform well in the event, with Bananza’s Ostrich transformation and Donkey Kong Country<\/a>‘s Expresso the Ostrich transforming into decorative displays for DK Island.<\/p>\n

As ever, the event is only available for those with the Donkey Kong Bananza: DK Island & Emerald Rush DLC, and it’ll challenge you to complete the roguelike mode with limited perks and upgrades. Being ostrich-based and set on the Forest Layer, we imagine that you’ll want to get comfortable taking to the skies.<\/p>\n

You can learn everything about this event and all previous in-game challenges in our guide below.<\/p>\n
