The main plot of ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' centers around [[Donkey Kong]] and his allies trying to reclaim Donkey Kong's prized Golden Bananas from the evil [[King K. Rool]]. In this game, Golden Bananas are needed to access new worlds, since [[B. Locker]] will be blocking the world entrances. The Golden Bananas were stolen along with some of Donkey Kong's friends to distract him while the [[Blast-o-Matic]] was being charged. However, the Golden Bananas turn out to be essential in thwarting K. Rool's plot, as [[B. Locker]] will periodically grant access to the [[Kremling]]s' occupied territory as Golden Bananas are collected. Each world contains twenty-five Golden Bananas, with five for each Kong. | The main plot of ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' centers around [[Donkey Kong]] and his allies trying to reclaim Donkey Kong's prized Golden Bananas from the evil [[King K.

In ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', a single Golden Banana makes an appearance. While leaving [[Cranky Kong's Shop]], [[Cranky Kong]] can sometime ramble about finding a Golden Banana that transports one to another dimension. After accessing the [[Golden Temple]] via the [[Rare Orb]]s, Donkey Kong and [[Diddy Kong]] are surprised to see the giant Golden Banana, held by two golden DK-like statues. Peeling its skin and tasting it does indeed transport them to another world. | In ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', a single Golden Banana makes an appearance.

The [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|animated series]] features a single Golden Banana of a different type in the episode "[[Raiders of the Lost Banana]]". This Golden Banana is found by DK in [[Inka Dinka Doo]]'s [[Inka Dinka Doo's Temple|Temple]], and he decides to give it to [[Candy Kong]] as a present. As a result, however, DK sets off a curse that befalls anyone nearby the beholder. K. Rool later kidnaps Candy and demands she hand over the Banana, but DK shows up to rescue her and returns the Banana to Inka Dinka Doo. [[Polly Roger]] steals the Banana back, though, but now only K.
