Bananas are the ubiquitious items appearing in every ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land (series)|Donkey Kong Land]]'' to date. They work similarly to the [[Coin]]s from the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]]. In these games, for every one hundred bananas collected, the player is granted an [[extra life]]. [[Banana Bunch]]es, which are worth ten regular bananas, appear very frequently as well.

In ''Donkey Kong Country'', bananas and Banana Bunches are common within [[Bonus Area]]s, even having a type specifically featuring them, "Collect the Bananas!". Throughout the game, [[Donkey Kong]] can sometimes reveal a Banana Bunch by using [[Hand Slap]] in a specific location.
In ''Donkey Kong Country'', bananas and Banana Bunches are common within [[Bonus Area]]s, even having a type specifically featuring them, "Collect the Bananas!". Throughout the game, [[Donkey Kong]] can sometimes reveal a Banana Bunch by using [[Hand Slap]] in a specific location. Also, as the player enters the boss arena, the background of this boss level is indeed infested with a bunch of bananas, six of the boss levels like, [[Very Gnawty's Lair]], [[Necky's Nuts]], [[Bumble B. Rumble]], [[Really Gnawty Rampage]], [[Boss Dumb Drum]], and [[Necky's Revenge]]. Those bananas on the background of the level serves as scenery for the boss levels.


In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', some groups of bananas are in the shape of an arrow, pointing at a wall. Brekaing the wall reveals the entrance to a [[Bonus Area]]. Sometimes a single, standalone banana in an higher area represents the location of either a hidden object (such as a [[Barrel Cannon]] or a hook), a hidden item (such as an [[Extra Life Balloon]]), or even a [[Bonus Barrel]]. This also occurs in the sequel, ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' In both games, some bananas are arranged in the shape of a controller button, indicating the button that the player must press in that moment. One such example is in the ''Donkey Kong Country 3'' level, [[Bobbing Barrel Brawl]], where a group of bananas shaped as a "Y" tell the player to press {{button|snes|y}} for [[Ellie the Elephant|Ellie]] to draw over a [[TNT Barrel]] stuck between two red [[Buzz (enemy)|Buzz]]es. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] port, the arrangement of these bananas were updated to match with the appropriate Game Boy Advance button.
