Banana Peel (move)

The Banana Peel is Diddy Kong's down special move in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. In the move, Diddy Kong will create a banana peel, which he will then toss behind him. This banana peel will then function in the exact same way as the Banana Peel item, in that any character to walk over it will prat fall. Diddy Kong may also pick up this banana peel and throw it in the same way as the item. There may only be two banana peels produced by one Diddy Kong on the stage at one time. The move is a vital asset in Diddy Kong's competitive metagame. In fact, the move is considered so useful, it is often said to be the primary reason Diddy Kong occupies the 4th place spot on the competitive tier list.

Origin
Throughout the Donkey Kong series, bananas have always been the game's main collectible, and both Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong have a particular fondness of them. This move could be drawn from Diddy Kong's sheer likeness of bananas, or it could be inspired from the Banana Peel item from the Mario Kart franchise, which when deployed onto the ground, would cause any karts to drive over it to skid out of control.

In Donkey Kong 64, Donkey Kong's tree house had several banana peels on the floor, that would cause any Kong to step on them to slip, but not completely fall over.
