Xananab: Difference between revisions

'''Xananab''' is a member of a species of aliens who resemble humanoid, partially peeled [[banana]]s and an ally of the [[Kong Family]]; Xananab originates from the banana shaped [[Planet Plantaen]]. The name Xananab possibly refers to both the character and the species. Their name when spelled backwards is bananaX.

In ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]'', Xananab, for unexplained reasons, ventures to the top of [[Sun Sun Island]] on [[Donkey Kong]]'s planet in their [[Banana Ship]] with the precious cargo of five powerful [[Crystal Banana]]s. After landing on Sun Sun Island, Xananab was apparently attacked by [[King K. Rool]] and his [[Kremling Krew|Kremling Gang]], who stole their Crystal Bananas and quickly fled with them.  

When Donkey Kong, [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Cranky Kong]] arrived at the peak of Sun Sun Island to investigate the Banana Ship, they were attacked by Xananab and their Banana Ship. Once the Banana Ship is destroyed, Xananab, realizing that Donkey, Diddy and Cranky were not Kremlings, apologized to them and explained their story to them. After hearing Xananab's predicament and learning that without their Banana Ship they would not be able to reclaim the Crystal Bananas, Donkey, Diddy and Cranky decide to help them.  

Throughout ''DK: Jungle Climber'', Xananab will appear in cutscenes, occasionally giving advice and in some levels, where they will activate a [[Spirowarp]], a portal making machine, for Donkey Kong if one is brought to them. Once King K. Rool was defeated on Planet Plantaen and all the Crystal Bananas were given back to them, Xananab, as thanks for their help in defeating the Kremling Gang, gave Donkey, Diddy and Cranky a large amount of bananas. Once the trio finished eating and the Crystal Bananas were returned to their rightful place, Xananab brought DK, Diddy, Cranky and King K. Rool back to Earth.

Xananab appears as a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] and a [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Sticker]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.

|''A banana alien that shows up as Donkey Kong and company are enjoying a relaxing vacation on the beach. Traveling by spaceship from their banana planet, they mistake the Kongs for enemies and attack. As such, the Kongs retaliate by destroying their ship. To top it off, their {{hover|superpowerful|super-powerful (PAL version)}} crystal banana is stolen by the Kremlings.''

*Xananab has a habit of speaking in rhyme and occasionally affixing nonsensical words such as "fanana" to their sentences (the latter is a reference to the banana-oriented [[Wikipedia:The Name Game|name game]]).
