This article is about the cluster of Bananas seen in multiple games. For the minigame in Mario Tennis for the Game Boy Color, see Banana Bunch (minigame).

Template:Item-infobox Banana Bunches are items consisting of clustered Bananas. They usually function as currency in the Donkey Kong Country series, being worth five or ten of a regular Banana.

History

Donkey Kong Jr.

A banana bunch lying under a vine is among the fruit Donkey Kong Jr. can drop on enemies in Stage 1 of his debut game. Like every other fruit in the game, this banana bunch awards the player 400 points if touched.

Donkey Kong Country series

Like their single counterparts, Banana Bunches appear in every single Donkey Kong Country and Donkey Kong Land game to date.

In Donkey Kong Country, Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, and Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, Banana Bunches are worth ten Bananas. In the former game, Donkey Kong can sometimes reveal a Banana Bunch by using Hand Slap in a specific location.

In Donkey Kong Country Returns and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, there are two distinct Banana Bunches: the more common variety are worth five Bananas, while the rarer variety are worth ten.

Mario Kart 64

Banana Bunches appear as items in Mario Kart 64. When used, five regular Bananas are automatically deployed to trail behind the player's kart. The player may throw each Banana one-by-one whenever they please, and the Bananas also block incoming items from hitting the player.

In later games in the Mario Kart series, Triple Bananas supersede Banana Bunches in terms of function.

Donkey Kong 64

Like all other color-coded character-specific items in Donkey Kong 64, Banana Bunches are colored yellow for Donkey Kong, red for Diddy Kong, purple for Tiny Kong, blue for Lanky Kong, and green for Chunky Kong. All Banana Bunches count towards the total Banana count required to complete the game.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong

In Mario vs. Donkey Kong, banana bunches reprise their original role from Donkey Kong Jr. as fruit that can be dropped on enemies to attack them. This time, they do not award the player any points if touched, but will award 500 points if they hit an enemy. They are present in Levels 2-5, 2-DK, 2-2+, 2-5+, and 2-DK+.

Donkey Kong Jungle Beat

It has been requested that this article be rewritten and expanded to include more information. Reason: how many Beats a Banana Bunch is worth in this game

Banana Bunches, like regular Bananas, appear in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, counting towards the player's Beat total in the same way.

Yoshi Touch & Go

Banana bunches also appear in Yoshi Touch & Go. If a Yoshi eats one, it will get three more eggs.

Mario Party 10

In Mario Party 10, several banana bunches are carried by a moving Mine Cart in the background of the Donkey Kong Board.

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle

Like regular Bananas, Banana Bunches reappear as currency exclusively in the Donkey Kong Adventure mode of Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, and are worth five regular Bananas. They usually appear after the player collects some Bananas in a circle.
