Tally Me Banana is a Donkey Kong minigame in Mario Party 6. Its name is taken from a line in "Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)" by Harry Belafonte. This minigame appears to take place in a tropical area of some kind. The Blooper from the minigame Blooper Scooper can be seen in the top left corner of the screen.
Introduction[edit]
The introduction shows Donkey Kong jumping on a barrel and collecting a banana.
Gameplay[edit]
Players jump on the barrels scattered throughout the pool to collect as many bananas as possible. If the player misses a barrel and lands in the water, they are out for the remainder of the game. Most barrels contain a single banana, though some contain Banana Bunches, which give the player five bananas. Players can jump on opponents who have fallen into the water to reach more barrels.
Controls[edit]
– Move
– Jump
In-game text[edit]
- Rules – "Jump from barrel to barrel without falling into the water to grab the most bananas!"
- Advice 1 – "Barrels break as soon as you land on them. Bounce immediately to the next barrel to avoid falling in!"
- Advice 2 – "Use opponents that have fallen into the water as stepping stones to reach more barrels."
