Donkey Kong Bananza: Freezer Layer Banandium Gems

The snow-covered Freezer Layer has the most Banandium Gems in any region in Donkey Kong Bananza, and they're split between a bunch of sub-layers.

There are a whopping 87 Banandium Gems to find across the area's four sub-layers, and we have made a map and list for each of them, which you can use in tandem to track them all down.

And remember, you can find more details on the other regions' collectibles by heading over to our Banandium Gem Locations guide hub.

Freezer Layer Banandium Gem Locations

Some of the following Banandium Gems are only available once you've polished off the layer's main mission and come back later, while you'll have to make it past the game's credits for others. We've added the post-credit Gems to their own section below, but we'd suggest returning to this layer after you've finished its main quest to get the most from the region.
