The locations of active Void Goals and any Banandium Gems that carry skills can be viewed from the map menu. The clock will stop while you’re using the map, so take a breather while mulling over your next move.

Bonus tip: fossil locations stay the same for each run. They won’t appear on your map normally, but there is a Perk that’ll allow you to see where they’re buried.

Dug yourself a little too deep? Use a Warp Barrel by pressing the R and ZR Buttons together to blast yourself skyward or use one to fast travel to other locations via the map menu. Either one will save you both the time and hassle of backtracking on foot.

All Bananza transformations are available from the get-go, so use their unique strengths to your advantage to get your mitts on as much green ore as possible. Smash through tougher materials using the Kong Bananza, sprint across water with the Zebra Bananza or fly to a distant platform as the Ostrich Bananza.

By the way, if you adjust the difficulty setting to level 3 or above, Bananza transformations will need to be unlocked one by one during your run.
