Stuck on that Banana under the clothing shop in Donkey Kong Bananza’s SL101? Here’s how to find the secret path, smash the dirt, and claim The Salvager’s Stash.
Green Block Blues: A Banana Behind Bars
So you’re cruising through SL101 in the Lagoon Layer, vibing near Reservoir Hills checkpoint, and you meet this NPC chillin’ and acting sus. They drop a hint about a Banana hidden somewhere nearby — but it’s boxed in by those chunky green blocks that might as well be labeled “Nice try, gamer.”
The Banana seems to be sitting directly underneath the clothing shop, and of course, there’s no obvious way to reach it. But you know it’s there. The map says so. The NPC basically admits it. And those barrels nearby? Yeah… something’s up.
Time to go full jungle detective. ️♂️
How to Reach the Hidden Banana (The Salvager’s Stash)
Step-by-Step Jungle Sneak:
- Find the Clothing Shop Area
Right near Reservoir Hills checkpoint, you’ll spot the clothing shop (fashion’s alive and well in DK’s world apparently). - Talk to the Nearby NPC
They’ll drop a subtle flex about stashing a Banana for safekeeping. That’s your cue — it’s a riddle. - Look for the Ramp & Hut Nearby
Just next to the clothing shop, there’s a small hut with a ramp leading up to it. Classic suspicious platform placement. - Crawl Underneath the Hut
Underneath the ramp is a hidden crawlspace. It’s a tight squeeze, but DK’s a flexible king. - Smash the Barrels Blocking the Way
Inside the passage, you’ll see some barrels trying to gatekeep your banana. Destroy them — you know the drill. - Enter the Secret Stash Zone
Crawl further in, and you’ll find a cozy little dirt pile with your Banana prize buried inside. Smash that sucker open to claim your reward!
️ This Banana is officially called The Salvager’s Stash — Banana #32 in the Lagoon Layer.
Bonus Tip: Green Block Secrets Explained

Your motto should be:
If it’s surrounded, there’s a secret tunnel nearby. Always.
Bananas in the Basement
The Salvager’s Stash is one of those DK Bananza secrets that reminds you this game’s all about exploration, not just explosions. It rewards players who slow down, look around, and question every suspicious ramp, barrel, or oddly-placed hut.
So next time you’re passing through the clothing shop and that NPC gives you a wink, just remember: real treasure isn’t always above ground — sometimes it’s literally under your feet. ️
