Donkey Kong's Banana Hoard is a special cave near Donkey Kong's jungle home where he stores his countless Bananas. King K. Rool stole the Bananas for unknown reasons in Donkey Kong Country. Donkey and Diddy Kong made it their mission to retrieve them one by one, and eventually succeeded.
Only normal, edible Bananas are stored in this cave. The Golden Bananas from Donkey Kong 64 were stored in an undisclosed location.
The Banana Hoard once again appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl story mode, the Subspace Emissary. Bowser sent out a Hammer Bro and a Goomba to steal the bananas. Donkey Kong started to chase them. When he finally got out of the jungle, he still couldn't catch them as they drived to fast and was too far from him. The Goomba jumped to two Bill Blasters which fired three Bullet Bills toward DK. Diddy Kong the jumped out of the jungle and used his Peanut Popgun to stop them. They kept following them until Donkey Kong was eventually turned into a trophy.
