Where to Find Rock Terrain

How to Break Rocks Fast

Transform into Kong Bananza and Go Full Punch Mode

The most efficient way to break rocks is by transforming into Kong Bananza and spamming punches like there’s no tomorrow.

The Bananergy Meter fills up as you collect gold, and if you dig efficiently, it’ll be full again by the time your transformation ends.
