Banandelion: Difference between revisions

Banandelions first appear in ''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat'', where they are usually found in grass-themed [[level]]s. [[Donkey Kong]] can cling to one by clapping near it. Pounding on the [[bongo]]s, alternating between the two drums, or flicking the control stick causes Donkey Kong to swing along the stem toward the top, and at the top the flower automatically flings Donkey Kong in the opposite direction. The flower portion has numerous designs depending on the specific plant, appearing in different shapes and colors and sometimes being just a bud. Sometimes, the length of the stalk varies as well.

Banandelions return in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', behaving exactly the same as in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. They first appear in the [[Rightside Down Galaxy]] in the missions [[Breaking the Laws of Gravity]] and [[The Great Crate Incinerator]]. In both missions, the player must use Banandelions in certain areas to fling Mario to different locations with varying directions of [[gravity]]. The final appearance of the Banandelion in this game comes in [[Honeyhop Galaxy]]. In this [[galaxy]], two Banandelions are encountered: one on the [[Honeyhop Galaxy#Starting Planet|Starting Planet]] and one on the [[Honeyhop Galaxy#Queen Bee Planet|Queen Bee Planet]]. On both planets, the Banandelions are used to allow Mario to reach high-up areas that would normally be inaccessible without the use of the plants.
