Donkey Kong Bananza's 'little sister' mode is teaching my daughter the dark art of amusing trolling, and I love it


The co-op mode in Donkey Kong Bananza is brilliant, especially if you just want to have a good old mess around.

My son, a Mario Odyssey completionist, was obviously going to be keen on DK's Switch 2 debut, but the real surprise in all this is just how much my four-year-old daughter has got in on the action. Watch on YouTube This mode has been promoted by Nintendo as a neat way for people to play co-operatively, one person doing the bulk of the gameplay with DK while the other (perhaps a less experienced gamer) can help out with Pauline, making the game significantly easier. He laughs along with her, the two of them screaming with joy at every moment of destruction, him overreacting at every accidental DK death, in turn spurring her on to inflict even more.
