Bananas is the most common item featured in the ''Donkey Kong'' series of games. This fruit appears in every single ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land (series)|Donkey Kong Land]]'' title. They work similarly to the [[Coin]]s from the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]]. In these games, collecting one hundred bananas provides a [[Kong]] an [[extra life]]. There are also '''Banana Bunches''', which are worth ten regular bananas, which, while they are common, they do not appear as much as individual bananas. | |||
In ''Donkey Kong Country'', bananas and Banana Bunches are common within [[Bonus Area]]s, even having a type specifically featuring them, "Collect the Bananas!". Throughout the game, [[Donkey Kong]] can sometimes reveal a Banana Bunch by using [[Hand Slap]] in a specific location. | |||
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', some groups of bananas are in the shape of an arrow, pointing at a wall. Brekaing the wall reveals the entrance to a [[Bonus Area]]. Sometimes a single, standalone banana in an higher area represents the location of either a hidden object (such as a [[Barrel Cannon]] or a hook), a hidden item (such as an [[Extra Life Balloon]]), or even a [[Bonus Barrel]]. This also occurs in the sequel, ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' In both games, some bananas are arranged in the shape of a controller button, indicating the button that the player must press in that moment. One such example is in the ''Donkey Kong Country 3'' level, [[Bobbing Barrel Brawl]], where a group of bananas shaped as a "Y" tell the player to press {{button|snes|y}} for [[Ellie the Elephant|Ellie]] to draw over a [[TNT Barrel]] stuck between two red [[Buzz]]es. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] port, the arrangement of these bananas were updated to match with the appropriate Game Boy Advance button. | |||
Bananas appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'', and ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', reprising their role from the earlier ''Country'' games. In these games, Banana Bunches are worth five regular bananas instead of ten. However, there is also a bigger type of bunch that is fairly rare and worth ten bananas. Additionally, in ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'', there are winged bananas that float around in certain areas, which are worth five bananas. In the [[Golden Temple]], there are enormous, floating bananas (amongst other [[fruit]]) that are large enough to serve as platforms for Donkey and Diddy Kong. | Bananas appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'', and ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', reprising their role from the earlier ''Country'' games.
