“My, my! Are you the one who sounded my gong? It rang out loud and clear. What power you must have! Ah, but let me show you MY power...”
—Eelevator, Donkey Kong Bananza

The Eelevator is an ally in Donkey Kong Bananza . She is a large eel who is the mother of the Li'l Eelevators and the wife of the Great Harmoneel. She resembles the Li'l Eelevators, but is larger, has sharp teeth, wears lipstick, and has an anglerfish-like lure resembling traffic lights. By hitting her Warp Gong, the Eelevator allows Donkey Kong and Pauline to quick travel between layers. While she first appears in the Hilltop Layer, she is first mentioned by a Li'l Eelevator in the Lagoon Layer. During the first visit to the Groove Layer, Donkey Kong is unable to use the Warp Gong, with a Fractone suggesting that the Eelevator is scared.[1]

In the post-game, the Eelevator transports Pauline from New Donk City to the Ingot Isle Cave-In after being called from her gong by Donkey Kong. In the DK Island & Emerald Rush DLC, she informs Donkey Kong and Pauline that Void Kong has appeared on DK Island. Additionally, a statue of the Eelevator can be collected and placed on the West Islet nearby DK Island.

Despite there being only one Eelevator appearing in the game, Eelings are implied to be young Eelevators by Pauline.[2]

Naming[edit ]

"Eelevator" is a portmanteau of "eel" and "elevator", referring to her main function of transporting the player around the layers of the Underground World similar to an elevator around the floors of a building.
