Instead of focusing on reaching the Core, here is a guide on how to locate all the bananas in SL700, The Junction in “Donkey Kong Bananza”.

After wrapping up the story and seeing the end credits, we made sure to collect every Banandium Gem from this level. If you find certain bananas on the list that appear unreachable, consider completing the game first, then revisit the list later.
