Although Donkey Kong Bananza hasn't been released yet, a passionate fan has unearthed and decoded a secret banana alphabet. On April 27, user 2Chrispy shared a YouTube video titled "I Decoded the Ancient Monkey Scrolls of Donkey Kong Bananza," where he meticulously detailed his decoding process of the "Ancient Monkey Scrolls." This secret alphabet has been subtly embedded in the game’s trailers, gameplay footage, and official website.

While invented languages in games are not new—Nintendo previously introduced the Hylian language in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild—uncovering a secret language before the game's release is a remarkable feat.

This discovery underscores the dedication of Donkey Kong fans, or perhaps their impatience for more news about the game. While the secret alphabet's authenticity remains unconfirmed, 2Chrispy's thorough analysis and detailed process have convinced many fans that his interpretation of the symbols is accurate.

In his video, 2Chrispy explained how he deciphered each letter of the "bananbet," beginning with the phrase "Chip Exchange." When a player collects a Banandium Chip, a pop-up message reads: "Trade these for bananas at any Chip Exchange." 2Chrispy meticulously analyzed the game’s trailers frame-by-frame to locate the "Chip Exchange," hypothesizing that the signage could serve as his starting point.

He noticed that the symbols on the signage corresponded to the number of letters in "exchange," with the repeated letter "e" supporting his theory. He then applied this method to other symbols found in screenshots and game trailers, using a word finder app to bridge the gaps.
