In ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', a Giant Banana is rewarded to [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] after they defeat a world boss. Giant Bananas have a sticker of the [[Nintendo]] logo wrapped around them. They also make cameo appearances, such as one appearing near [[Cranky's Cabin]] (absent in the GBA remake) when visited and also in [[Gang-Plank Galleon]].

The Giant Bananas are presumably added to the [[Banana Hoard]] individually, but no bananas appear in there until the [[Kong]]s defeat [[King K. Rool]] at Gang-Plank Galleon. When the Banana Hoard is full, there are many more Giant Bananas than the number that the Kongs collected. It can be assumed that the bananas are from the background of the boss levels.

In the [[Game Boy Color]] version, they slowly hover down rather than falling onto the ground and with a rotating animation.

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.

[[File:Rareware Banana.jpg|left|thumb|A giant Golden Banana with a Rare Ltd. sticker]]
A Giant Banana with a zipper appears in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', when the player warps between two same-numbered [[Bananaport Pad]]s.. A unique giant [[Golden Banana]] can be found by [[Tiny Kong]] on [[Banana Fairy Island]] after she takes pictures of all the [[Banana Fairy|Banana Fairies]]. Unlike the other Golden Bananas, this one has a [[Rare Ltd.]] sticker on it, and Tiny collecting it is the only time any character can collect a sixth Golden Banana for any particular location. This golden banana is also required to unlock the secret ending.

A giant golden banana appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'' when Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong are accessing the [[Golden Temple]] after collecting all of the [[Rare Orb]]s. Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong are surprised to see the giant Golden Banana, held by two golden DK-like statues. Upon peeling its skin and tasting it, they are transported them to another world. The Golden Temple also has giant banana platforms with some being split in half.

====''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''====
In ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', it is a [[Special Item (Mario Kart series)|special item]] that [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] (and [[Petey Piranha]] and [[King Boo]], due to their ability to have any special item) can obtain. Once a driver makes contact with the Giant Banana Peel, it not only makes the driver spin out for the same duration as the [[POW Block]] from ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', but it also leaves behind three regular Bananas on the ground. The Giant Banana is resistant to most items, but it can be destroyed with a [[Bob-omb]], [[Chain Chomp]], [[Yoshi Egg]] and [[Bowser Shell]], though the Bowser Shell will get deflected. It can also be picked up by running into it while using the [[Heart (item)|Heart]].

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.
