Banana Bunch (minigame)

A Banana Bunch is a group of bananas usually worth five or ten bananas. They were first featured in Donkey Kong Country and reappeared in the the other games in the series. In Donkey Kong Country, Donkey Kong could find Banana Bunches by pounding the ground. Later, in Donkey Kong 64, Banana Bunches were worth five bananas. Additionally, Banana Bunches could only be collected by a Kong whose color matched it. Three giant Banana Bunches appeared in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat at the end of each level in the Banana Kingdom. When Donkey Kong bites one of these Banana Bunches, juice will pour out, and the level will end. In Mario Party 5 and the other Mario Party games after, Banana Bunches are also worth 5 bananas. They were mainly found in Donkey Kong Mini-games.
