“Well, if it isn't my lazy, good-for-nothing son. Lost your Golden Bananas again?”
Cranky Kong, Donkey Kong 64

Golden Bananas are large shiny bananas, which first appeared in games in Donkey Kong 64. They are considered a part of the Banana Hoard of the Donkey Kong franchise.

History

Donkey Kong 64

The main plot of Donkey Kong 64 centers around Donkey Kong and his allies trying to reclaim Donkey Kong's prized Golden Bananas from the evil King K. Rool. In this game, Golden Bananas are needed to access new worlds, since B. Locker will be blocking the world entrances. The Golden Bananas were stolen along with some of Donkey Kong's friends to distract him while the Blast-o-Matic was being charged. However, the Golden Bananas turn out to be essential in thwarting K. Rool's plot, as B. Locker will periodically grant access to the Kremlings' occupied territory as Golden Bananas are collected. Each world contains twenty-five Golden Bananas, with five for each Kong.

While leaving Cranky Kong's Shop, Cranky Kong can sometime ramble about finding a Golden Banana that transports one to another dimension. After accessing the Golden Temple via the Rare Orbs, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong are surprised to see the giant Golden Banana, held by two golden DK-like statues. Peeling its skin and tasting it does indeed transport them to another world.

K. Rool later kidnaps Candy and demands she hand over the banana, but DK shows up to rescue her and returns the Banana to Inka Dinka Doo. However, Polly Roger then steals the banana back, but now only K. Rool is affected by the curse.
