Diddy's Banana Blast is a minigame in Mario Party 9. Although this minigame and DK's Banana Bonus are categorized as boss minigames, they play more like bonus minigames. Additionally, the players play only this boss minigame and DK's Banana Bonus every time they play on DK's Jungle Ruins, instead of picking between three other boss minigames. The same happens on Bowser Station.

Overview

Diddy begins cheering on top of a temple. The players then launch themselves from their current cannons, and the bananas fly in.

The goal of the minigame is to collect as many bananas as possible before the time or bananas themselves run out. Players collect bananas by launching themselves at them using the Barrel Cannons surrounding the stage. Players who run into each other are temporarily dazed and sent falling into one of the Barrel Cannons on the bottom of the area. The minigame ends if the time runs out or all bananas are collected.

In-game text

• Rules – "Wait for the right angle, and launch out of the swaying Barrel Cannons to grab as many bananas as you can!"
• Controls – "Hold the Wii Remote sideways. Press to launch yourself out of the Barrel Cannons."
