The Crystal Bananas are five large bananas used by Xananab in DK: Jungle Climber. They are stolen by King K. Rool and his Kremling gang to take over the world. In the game's boss battles, a Kritter uses one it is carrying to mutate into a large Kremling.
When Donkey Kong arrives at the top of Cliffy Peak, he notices K. Rool and five Kritters taking the five Crystal Bananas. They then use their power to obtain a Spirowarp and get sucked into a worm hole. Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, and Cranky Kong all take notice before the Banana Ship mistakes them for Kremlings and attacks them. When they defeat and destroy it, Xananab emerges from the wreckage and informs the Kongs about the Crystal Bananas being stolen.
The boss fights in the following four worlds all involve a Kritter using a Crystal Banana to gain power and turn blue. In the case of Junklomp and Draglinger, the Kritter needs to be hit to damage the boss, while in the case of both Mega Amp fights, hitting the Kremling defeats the boss. Donkey Kong can then collect the Crystal Banana dropped from the Kremling to complete the level.
At the end of Planet Plantaen, King K. Rool prepares to use the Crystal Bananas' power to destroy the planet, but the Kongs catch up to him, prompting a battle against K. Rool. After he is defeated, K. Rool does not relinquish the fifth Crystal Banana and instead utilizes its power to grow to an enormous size. When K. Rool is defeated for the second time, he shrinks back to his normal size and gives up the Crystal Banana for Donkey Kong.
The Crystal Bananas later appear in a credits scene, in which they rest in the hands of five banana aliens inside a temple.
