Bananas are the ubiquitious items appearing in every ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land (series)|Donkey Kong Land]]'' to date. They work similarly to the [[Coin]]s from the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]]. In these games, for every one hundred bananas collected, the player is granted an [[extra life]]. '''Banana Bunches''', which are worth ten regular bananas, appear very frequently as well.

=====''Donkey Kong Country''=====
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.

=====''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''=====
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.

=====''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' / ''Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D''=====
Bananas appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'', reprising their role from the earlier ''Donkey Kong 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, there are winged bananas that float around in certain areas (mostly Bonus Areas), which are worth five bananas. In the [[Golden Temple]], there are enormous, floating bananas (amongst other [[fruit]]) that serve as platforms for Donkey and Diddy Kong.

=====''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze''=====
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', collecting one hundred bananas will enable the [[Kong]]s to perform a [[Kong POW]], aside from receiving an extra life. [[Flying Banana]]s are followed by trails of regular bananas and will turn into an important item, such as a [[Banana Coin]] or a [[Puzzle Piece (Donkey Kong Country series)|Puzzle Piece]], when all bananas behind it are collected.
