When Do You Get Pauline in Donkey Kong Bananza?
An hour or so in
Technically, you’llfind Paulineduring the intro back at Ingot Isle, but they will be calledOdd Rock. Some people may not know that the talking rock is Pauline, but if you’re reading this, you know what’s going on.
However, youactually won’t be able to get Pauline out of the odd rock until you reach the end of the second stage of Lagoon Layer (SL101) and speak to the Elder Kong.
He’ll ask you to retrieve a nearby ancient record. Once you bring it back to him, the music will make Pauline come out of the rock, and you will unlock your first transformation,Kong Bananza.
When you’re in a special form, the yellow meter will run low (this is your Bananergy). You can grab gold to recharge the meter and then use L + R (hold) to perform drumbeats to transform again.
