Hilltop Layer is the third layer in the Underground World of Donkey Kong Bananza, occupying sublayer 200. It is a grassy, hilly region with banana-shaped rock formations, and it is populated solely by Fractones in Fractone Village.

When Donkey Kong and Pauline first reach the Hilltop Layer, they come across Fractone Village, where they meet several Fractones, including one that explains to the duo that the layer's Sinkhole had been blocked by a giant banana-shaped dirt pile. It also recommends Rolling and Turf Surfing to get there quicker. When they get to the dirt pile, however, it is covered in Voided Terrain, so they destroy a Terravoider to remove the terrain, which in turn frees Constructone, who promises to demolish the dirt pile if Donkey Kong and Pauline give them 2999 Gold (reduced from 9999 due to their friendly nature). After the dirt pile is demolished, the duo enter a passageway to the Sinkhole, which they enter after destroying the Void Stake blocking it.

Signs[edit]

  • Welcome to the Hilltop Layer! A Visitor's Guide: It may look calm, but there's plenty of fun to be had if you explore. If you're not sure where to go, start at a high-up spot and look for a well-worn trail to follow.
  • Welcome to Fractone Village! A Visitor's Guide: It's a bustling place. The Styletones, Stufftones, and Chiptones all run shops here. And all of that's just on the surface... Who knows what's hiding underneath?
  • The Hilltop Layer is a haven for Turf Surfing... Aspiring and practiced surfers from all over the Underground World meet here. The rush of wind as you speed down these gentle slopes feels great! Pluck a chunk, and get funky!
  • Constructone Developement: NOTICE: Work in progress! Floating lift platforms are assisting with construction. Watch your heads! If a chunk sticks to the underside of a lift, it might fall and break something.
  • Honoring the Climbers of Peel Peak: We made it to the top of Peel Peak! The breeze up here is amazing. We found some treasure while climbing. We stashed it here for now, but we'll take it home eventually.
  • Saga of the Exploritone, Verse 1: Where did the Fractones come from? What is the origin of Us? Curiosity consumes us. After much research, we think we know where we will find our answers. The road leads underground... so underground we shall go.
