The elders are allies in Donkey Kong Bananza. They are a group of five very large animals who act as leaders for the layers in which they reside. They are also DJs, and each of them teaches Donkey Kong and Pauline a Bananza that corresponds to their species if the duo returns their Ancient Record to its turntable, known as an Eternatable.[1]
The elders are:
- Kong Elder, the former greatest salvager monkey in the underground who resides at Elder Court in sublayer 101 of the Lagoon Layer.
- Zebra Elder, a former top chef who resides at Canter Creamery in sublayer 501 of the Freezer Layer.
- Ostrich Elder, who resides at the Eggshell Hotel as its manager, in sublayer 600 of the Forest Layer.
- Elephant Elder, the top forecaster in the underground who resides at Forecaster Refuge in sublayer 900 of the Tempest Layer.
- Snake Elder, a lighting sculpture artist who resides near Constrictor Corridor in sublayer 1201 of the Radiance Layer.
After King K. Rool is defeated and Pauline returns to the Underground World, the elders challenge DK and Pauline with going through a Bananza Rehearsal, a long and difficult level prominently built around the Bananza they taught the duo. After the Rehearsal is completed, a new skill related to the corresponding Bananza is unlocked, and a copy of the Ancient Record appears on that layer in front of the Eternatable.
