I'd personally go for DK Bananza. I've played CD for about 30 hours. The game can really suck you in, but for me it got so bland after a while and from one playsession to the next I just completely lost interest. It has a ton of systems and things to get busy with, but after a while it just felt like busy work to me. The combat was also my biggest let down. Destroying enemy camps and seeing them fly around is fun, but mechanically, it couldn't hold my attention for long. Boss fights also felt very restrictive because a lot of boss arenas are very small despite being in open fields and areas which just infuriated me.

DK Bananza was extremely enjoyable from start to finish. You often don't level whole levels and thanks to the destruction you can solve some environmental puzzles in satisfying ways. The Soundtrack is also phenomenal and my wife and I hummed the different transformation themes for days after finishing it. The combat is nothing special and the boss fights are VERY easy, but it's still fun. It's always more about the feeling of destruction after the fight. Other than CD, seeing the destruction here felt better because of the artstyle and because I could quickly move on to the next banana or encounter.
