In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, the Giant Bananas are slightly smaller and thinner, and they now spin, though they no longer have the Nintendo logo sticker. After defeating the bosses, [[Cranky Kong]] drops by and tells the Kongs that he will take care of the Giant Banana for them.

Giant Bananas reappear in ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP DX]]'', where it now appears as a regular item and can only be dropped from behind, but they still split into three regular bananas when slipped over by the player.

The Giant Banana reappears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' and works the same way. It is the [[Special Item (Mario Kart series)|special item]] of [[Morton Koopa Jr.|Morton]], [[Donkey Kong]], [[Toad (species)|Yellow Toad (Pit Crew)]], [[Mario|Mario (Sunshine)]], [[Rosalina|Rosalina (Chef)]], [[White Tanooki Mario]], [[Toad|Toad (Tourist)]], [[Shy Guy|Pink Shy Guy (Ninja)]], [[Wiggler]], and the [[Mii|Donkey Kong, Yellow, Morton and Wiggler Mii Racing Suits]]. When Giant Banana+ is used, the chances of getting a Giant Banana is increased, and it will drop more Bananas than usual after being hit, splitting into five Bananas rather than three. [[Bowser]] can also use Giant Bananas in [[Take them out quick!]] bonus challenges where he appears as the opponent.
