Artwork for a Bananaport Pad

Bananaport Pads,[1] or simply Bananaports,[2] are objects in Donkey Kong 64 that allow easy travel in various areas via "bananaport," a large banana with a zipper. Bananaport Pads come in numbers 1–5, and each of the two pairs of Bananaport Pads needs to be activated to work. Each Bananaport Pad has a different color depending on what number it has: 1 is blue, 2 is green, 3 is purple, 4 is red, and 5 is yellow. In order to use a Bananaport Pad, the player needs to stand on one and press the Z Button button to "bananaport" to the other pad of the same number. Although each area generally has only one pair of each Bananaport number, some areas have two sets of a few Bananaports, generally to make navigating sub-areas easier.
