Banandelion

Banande Lions are common objects in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat. They are very similar in appearance to dandy lions, a type of flower in the real world, and they are usually found in grass-themed levels.

In order to use this plant to Donkey Kong's benefit, the big ape must first cling onto it. If the player pounds on their bongos, alternating between the two drums, Donkey Kong begins to move his weight to the top end of the flower. Once he makes his way to the tip of it, the ape releases his grip and the Banande Lion flings him in the opposite direction. This allows him to cross gaps and other obstacles with ease.
