Donkey Kong Bananza - Where to Find Dirt Terrain

Find Dirt Terrain all over Landfill Layer in Donkey Kong Bananza. Find out where to find dirt terrain, how to break it fast, and how to complete Smashintone’s challenge.

Where to Find Dirt Terrain

Everywhere in the Landfill Layer

Landfill Layer

The Landfill Layer is basically one giant swamp. Just about every sublayer here is covered in dirt terrain, making it the best place to farm dirt quickly. Dig in anywhere and you'll start racking up progress right away.

How to Break Dirt Terrain Fast

Punch Dirt with Kong Bananza

Transform into Kong Bananza and punch the dirt repeatedly. Punching through dirt terrain is fast and efficient, especially for mid-game players exploring the Landfill Layer.

Use Elephant Bananza's Suction

Once you unlock Elephant Bananza in the Tempest Layer (SL 900), you can return to the Landfill Layer and use its suction ability to slurp up huge patches of dirt terrain at once. This is often faster than punching.

Smashintone Challenge Guide

Break 70,000 m³ of Dirt in Landfill Layer

You’ll find this challenge near Trashtopia in the Landfill Layer. Smashintone wants you to break a whopping 70,000 m³ of dirt terrain, but with the right setup, it’s totally doable.

Use Kong Bananza or Elephant Bananza to clear big chunks quickly. Once you hit the target, return to Smashintone to claim your Banandium Gem.
