Architectone is a Fractone that appear in Donkey Kong Bananza . Its shape resembles a square house that features a triangular roof and a chimney that expels a trail of smoke. Architectone appears throughout most layers of the Underground World. When spoken to, they will offer to create a Getaway in the location they are found, in exchange for a payment of gold. The amount they charge increases by 100 gold for every Getaway constructed in the layer. After being paid, Architectone phases into the ground below them as the Getaway is created, permanently disappearing from that location, often replaced by Trustytone if more than one Getaway has been built on a layer.
Artwork of Architectone also appears on the disc for "Getaway".
In the DK Island & Emerald Rush DLC, a statue of Architectone can be collected and placed at the north side of the Northwest Beach on DK Island.
