'''Bananas''' are common tropical fruit from the ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'', ''[[Yoshi (franchise)|Yoshi]]'', and [[Donkey Kong (franchise)|''Donkey Kong'']] franchises. They are based on {{wp|banana|the nonfictional fruit of the same name}}, specifically, the {{wp|Cavendish banana|cavendish banana}}. They grow in many tropical islands of the planet, such as on [[Yoshi's Island]] and [[Isle Delfino]]. Bananas are widely used as [[food]] due to their restorative properties and '''Banana Peels''' are also used as an offensive weapon in sports competitions such as the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. Despite growing in the wild in trees, they appear to be seedless.
'''Bananas''' in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] are tropical [[fruit]] with a variety of purposes. '''Banana Peels''' are used as hazards, most notably in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]].

{{rewrite-expand|reason=cover each DKC/DKL game in a different section|April 23, 2018|section=yes}}
In the ''[[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' comic "[[Super Mario Klemp-Won-Do: Muskeln sind nicht alles!]]", Mario used some bananas to make his opponent [[Blanka]] slip and fall.
[[File:Bananas.jpg|thumb|A Banana Bunch from the ''Donkey Kong Country'' series]]
 
[[File:banana.jpg|thumb|120px|left|A Banana from the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' series]]
Being the Kongs' favorite food, bananas serve as the main victuals in the comic "[[Donkey Kong in: Banana Day 24]]" when Donkey Kong and his friends travel to Outer Space in order to stop aliens from pulling [[Earth]] away from the sun. As it turns out, the culprits just erroneously took the planet for a huge [[coconut]], a fruit their species adores. Diddy suggests to give bananas to the extraterrestrials as a compensation to get Earth back. This plan works, and the aliens are enthusiastic about the bananas' taste.
The Banana is the most common item featured in the ''Donkey Kong'' series of games. This fruit appears in every single ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'' title. They work similarly to the [[Coin]]s from the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]]. In these games, collecting one hundred bananas will give a [[Kong]] an [[extra life]]. Additionally, bananas often point in the direction of secret areas, hidden items, and the end of a [[level]]. A '''Banana Bunch''' is worth ten regular bananas, and [[Donkey Kong]] can sometimes find one by [[Hand Slap]]ping in particular spots.
 
Their use as weapons in the ''Mario Kart'' series was referenced in the comic "[[Die Jagd nach dem Nintendo 64: Krawall im All]]," when [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] dropped some Banana Peels in front of [[Wario]] and [[Bowser]], as they were competing to find a [[Nintendo 64]]-like spaceship.


Bananas appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'', and ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', reprising their role from the earlier ''Country'' games. In these games, Banana Bunches are worth five regular bananas instead of ten. However, there is also a bigger type of bunch that is fairly rare and worth ten bananas. Additionally, in ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'', there are winged bananas that float around in certain areas, which are worth five bananas. In the [[Golden Temple]], there are enormous, floating bananas (amongst other [[fruit]]) that are large enough to serve as platforms for Donkey and Diddy Kong.
===''Mario Kart'' series===
[[File:MK8-Line-Yoshi-Banana.gif|thumb|left|150px|[[LINE]] sticker of Yoshi spinning out on a Banana]]
The Banana (also known as the Banana Peel<ref>''Super Mario Kart'' English instruction booklet. Page 13.</ref> or '''Banana Skin'''<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) Issue #49. {{media link|NMS Australia 49 MK64 drivers and items.jpg|Page 39}}.</ref>) is one of the most common items in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series and has appeared in every game of the series. A Banana causes a [[kart]] to spin out if the vehicle touches the slippery item, slowing them down. Bananas can either be placed behind a kart, or be thrown forward down the track. It can also be held behind the kart as a defensive countermeasure against homing [[Red Shell]]s and, to a lesser extent, [[Green Shell]]s. Bananas can also come in threes, known as [[Triple Bananas]]. When used, three Bananas automatically attach themselves to the back of the kart. Like many other items in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise, the Banana has eyes and a mouth. The Banana also appears as the emblem of the [[Banana Cup]].

====''Super Mario Kart''====
[[File:SMKBanana.png|frame|left]]
[[File:SMK Banana.png|frame]]
In ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', Banana Peels are used by [[Donkey Kong Jr.]] if he is CPU-controlled.
{{br}}


In ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', collecting one hundred bananas will enable the [[Kong]]s to perform a [[Kong POW]], aside from receiving an extra life as well. [[Flying Banana]]s are followed by trails of regular bananas, and if they are all collected, the Flying Banana will turn into an important item, such as a [[Puzzle Piece (Donkey Kong Country series)|Puzzle Piece]].
====''Mario Kart 64''====
[[File:BananaRouletteMK64.png|frame|left]]
[[File:BananaBunch_MK64.png|frame|right|A Banana Bunch from ''Mario Kart 64'']]
In ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', along with single Bananas, there are [[Banana Bunch]]es, which grant five normal Bananas. In this game, if a Banana is hit while a racer is driving straight, they will skid for a while before spinning out. However, the Banana's effect can be nullified by braking at the right time. The game also introduces the [[Fake Item Box]], which acts similarly to Bananas, but it cannot be tossed forward and can float in midair, and in later games, items can phase through it.
{{br|left}}


====''Donkey Kong 64''====
====''Mario Kart: Super Circuit''====
In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', bananas come in five colors. Each color can only be collected by a specific Kong: yellow for Donkey Kong, red for [[Diddy Kong]], purple for [[Tiny Kong]], blue for [[Lanky Kong]], and green for [[Chunky Kong]]. Bananas are needed to feed [[Scoff]] in order to allow [[Troff]] to open the door to the level's [[List of bosses|boss]]. There are exactly 500 bananas (100 per color) in each of the game's seven levels, for a total of 3,500 bananas in the entire game. In this game, Banana Bunches are worth five bananas, unlike in the original ''Donkey Kong Country'' trilogy where they are worth ten. [[Banana Balloon]]s appear exclusively in this game, and are worth ten bananas. However, the Kongs must pop these balloons with their weapons in order to obtain their bananas.
Bananas return in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'', but only the single variation is available, and the Banana Bunch is absent. Like in ''Mario Kart 64'', a Banana's effect can be nullified by braking after hitting the Banana.


Aside from this, Bananas, or rather, their peels, played an important role in the final battle against K. Rool, more specifically when fighting him as [[Lanky Kong]]. Due to K. Rool being blinded due a light fixture falling on him, Lanky used barrels containing giant banana peels to place one on the ring, and then deliberately play music to K. Rool to lure him over to the banana peel so he'd slip on it.
====''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''====
[[File:MKDD Giant Banana.png|thumb|125px|left|A Giant Banana from ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'']]
Bananas return in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', alongside a larger variant called the [[Giant Banana]], which [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] can use, and also [[Petey Piranha]] and [[King Boo]], since the latter two can use any special item.


====''Mario vs. Donkey Kong''====
====''Mario Kart DS''====
In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'', banana bunches reprise their original role from ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'' as fruit that can be dropped on enemies to attack them. This time, they do not award the player any points if touched, but will award 500 points if they hit enemy. They are present in Levels [[Level 2-5|2-5]], [[Level 2-DK|2-DK]], [[Level 2-2+|2-2+]], [[Level 2-5+|2-5+]], and [[Level 2-DK+|2-DK+]].
[[File:MKDS Triple Bananas.jpg|thumb|125px|Triple Bananas from ''Mario Kart DS'']]
Bananas return in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. The Triple Bananas are also introduced in this game, acting like the previous Banana Bunch, except it only gives three Bananas that line up behind the kart.


====''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat''====
====''Mario Kart Wii''====
{{redirect|Beat|the Mega Man character and one of [[Mega Man]]'s custom special moves in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]] and [[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]|[[Mega Man#Rush Coil|Mega Man § Rush Coil]]}}
[[File:Banana - Mario Kart Wii.png|thumb|150px|A standard Banana from ''Mario Kart Wii'']]
Normal bananas and banana bunches also appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'', this time called '''Beats'''. In this game, Donkey Kong's banana total acts as his overall health (in the New Play Control! version, they only act as his health for boss battles); losing all of his beats results in a [[Game Over]]. Normal bananas are worth one Beat, and bunches are worth three, but stringing together multiple combos and clap grabbing multiple bananas increases the amount of Beats they are worth. Additionally, giant banana bunches also appear at the ends of the levels in the [[Banana Kingdom]] and the level [[Banana Banquet]]. Biting these, as well as the other giant fruits, causes juice to gush out and the level to end. Lastly, there is a minigame after said levels involving Donkey Kong eating as many bananas as he can in the allotted period of time, to increase his Beat total for that level.
Bananas appear again in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', behaving like the previous two games. The Triple Bananas also return from ''Mario Kart DS''. Single Bananas are obtainable in the top five positions in this game; the best chance of getting this item is in 1st place, with a 37.5 percent (15 out of 40) chance of getting it in said position.


====''DK: King of Swing''====
====''Mario Kart 7''====
In ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'', up to 300 bananas can be collected. Donkey Kong can then use the bananas to heal his health or become invincible.
Bananas and Triple Bananas return again in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. They have been improved from previous appearances; when a Banana is struck, the racer spins out for slightly longer.


===''Mario Kart'' series===
[[File:SMKBanana.png|frame|left|A banana peel from ''Super Mario Kart''.]]
[[File:Banana - Mario Kart Wii.png|thumb|150px|A standard banana from ''Mario Kart Wii''.]]
The Banana (also known as the Banana Peel) is one of the most common items in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]] and has appeared in every game of the series. A Banana Peel causes a [[kart]] to spin-out if the vehicle touches the slippery item, slowing them down a bit. Banana Peels can either be placed behind a kart, or be thrown forward down the track. It can also be held behind the kart as a defensive countermeasure against homing [[Red Shell]]s and, to a lesser extent, [[Green Shell]]s. Bananas can also come in threes, known as Triple Bananas. When used, three bananas automatically attach themselves to the back of the kart. Like many other items in the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]], the Banana has eyes. The Banana also appears as the emblem of the [[Banana Cup]].
[[File:BananaBunch_MK64.png|frame|left]]
[[File:MKDD Giant Banana.png|thumb|125px|A Giant Banana from ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''.]]
====''Mario Kart 64''====
In ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', along with single bananas, bananas appear in fives instead of threes, and are known as Banana Bunches. Banana Bunches function the same as Bananas, except that when a racer runs into the center of the Banana Bunch line when another player is carrying it, a sound effect will play and the player will get considerably slowed down. The icon for Banana Bunches displays only four bananas as opposed to five. In addition, only one of the bananas features eyes.
====''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''====
Bananas return in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. There is also a larger variant exclusive in the game called the [[Giant Banana]], which only [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] use.
====''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''====
====''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''====
Triple Bananas return in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', however, rather than following behind the Kart, [[Bike]] or [[ATV]] they orbit it, similarly to Triple Green or Red Shells. A single banana appears the adverts for [[List of sponsors in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe#BaNaNa Boy|BaNaNa Boy]].
Bananas and Triple Bananas return in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''; however, rather than following behind the vehicle, the Triple Bananas orbit it, similarly to Triple Green or Red Shells. Bananas have been further improved compared to previous games; the duration of spinning out from touching one is further increased to a comparable duration to that of the Giant Banana in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' and the [[POW Block]] in ''Mario Kart Wii''. A single Banana appears on the adverts for [[List of sponsors debuting in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe#BaNaNa Boy|BaNaNa Boy]]. In ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', the ninja [[Shy Guy]]s that appear as obstacles in [[Ninja Hideaway]] can sometimes transform into Bananas.


===Club Nintendo comics===
====''Mario Kart Tour''====
In the ''[[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' comic "[[Super Mario Klemp-Won-Do: Muskeln sind nicht alles!]]", Mario used some Bananas to make his opponent [[Blanka]] slip and fall.
Bananas reappear in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. The Giant Banana also returns, with the same function as in previous games. However, unlike in previous games, the Giant Banana is exclusive to Donkey Kong, [[Toad (species)|Yellow Toad (Pit Crew)]], [[Morton Koopa Jr.|Morton]], and [[Mario|Mario (Sunshine)]]. Diddy Kong and [[Funky Kong]]'s new exclusive item, the [[Banana Barrels]], shoot out Bananas in front of them for a certain amount of time. Triple Bananas also return as an exclusive item for [[Princess Daisy|Daisy (Swimwear)]], [[Dixie Kong]], [[Donkey Kong Jr.|Donkey Kong Jr. (SNES)]], and [[Waluigi|Waluigi (Bus Driver)]].


Being the Kongs' favorite food, Bananas serve as the main victuals in the comic "[[Donkey Kong in: Banana Day 24]]" when Donkey and his friends travel to [[Outer Space]] in order to stop aliens from pulling [[Earth]] away from the sun. As it turns out, the culprits just erroneously took the planet for a huge [[coconut]], a fruit their species adores. Diddy suggests to give Bananas to the extraterrestrials as a compensation to get Earth back. This plan works, and the aliens are enthusiastic about the Bananas' taste.
The following gliders increase the chance of getting Bananas and points for hitting racers with one.

===''Donkey Kong Country'' series===
[[File:banana.jpg|thumb|120px|left|A Banana from the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' series]]
Bananas are the ubiquitous items appearing in every ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land (series)|Donkey Kong Land]]'' game to date. They work similarly to the [[Coin]]s from the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. In these games, for every one hundred bananas collected, the player is granted an [[extra life]]. Banana Bunches, 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. Additionally, hoards of bananas can be seen in the boss areas.


Their use as weapons in the ''Mario Kart'' series was referenced in the comic "[[Die Jagd nach dem Nintendo 64: Krawall im All]]," when [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] dropped some Banana Peels in front of [[Wario]] and [[Bowser]], as they were competing to find a [[Nintendo 64]]-like spaceship.
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', some groups of bananas are in the shape of an arrow, pointing at a wall. Breaking 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.


===''Yoshi'' franchise===
Bananas appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'', reprising their role from the earlier ''Donkey Kong Country'' games. Additionally, there are winged bananas that float around in certain areas (mostly Bonus Areas), which are worth five bananas. In the [[Golden Temple]], there are enormous, floating bananas (amongst other [[fruit]]) that serve as platforms for Donkey and Diddy Kong.
Bananas are the favorite fruit of [[Yellow Yoshi]]s in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', along with the universally loved [[Melon]]s.


Banana bunches also appear in ''[[Yoshi Touch & Go]]''. If a Yoshi eats one, it will get three more eggs.
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' and its Nintendo Switch [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|port]], collecting one hundred bananas will enable the [[Kong]]s to perform a [[Kong POW]], aside from receiving an extra life. [[Flying banana]]s are followed by trails of regular bananas and will turn into an important item, such as a [[Banana Coin]] or a [[Puzzle Piece (Donkey Kong Country series)|Puzzle Piece]], when all bananas behind it are collected.


===''WarioWare'' series===
===''Diddy Kong Racing''===
[[File:WWIMM BananaMunch.PNG|thumb|left|200px]]
In ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'', bananas are a collectible that will increase the vehicle's top speed. The player can collect up to ten bananas at a time, each one increasing the vehicle's overall speed. If the player is hit by something, they lose two bananas. Smokey Castle has 4 treasure chests that require bananas to be stored. The banana counter resets to zero at the beginning of each race.
[[File:Numchuck.png|thumb|190px|right|Numchuck eating a Banana.]]
In ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'', a banana appears in the [[Banana Munch]] microgame. The player has to tap the {{button|gba|A}} repeatedly to finish eating it.


In ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', in the first level of the boss microgame [[Nose Dive]], the robot eats three Bananas before fighting the nose boss. The buildings found in the game use bananas as life counters.
Bananas are replaced with [[Coin (Diddy Kong Racing DS)|coins]] in the [[Diddy Kong Racing DS|Nintendo DS remake]].


In ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'', during [[Kat and Ana]]'s intro cutscene, [[Numchuck]] steals Bananas from Kat and Ana's lunch. The chance counter used in their stage are Banana bunches.
===''Yoshi's Story''===
Bananas are the favorite fruit of [[Yoshi (species)|Yellow Yoshi]]s in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', along with the universally loved [[Melon]]s. Bananas can also  be seen growing from the top of the [[Super Happy Tree]].


Bananas also appear in ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', in the [[Mona]]'s microgame [[Shakedown (WarioWare: Smooth Moves)|Shakedown]], where in the first level, the player should shake a Banana to free it from fleas. They also appear in [[Boot Camp]], where, also in the first level, the player should beat the Big Nose by throwing banana bunches at its nostrils.
===''Donkey Kong 64''===
[[File:DK64 Banana Colour.gif|thumb|150px|The different colored Bananas from ''Donkey Kong 64'']]
In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', bananas are featured in five different colors. Each color can only be collected by a certain Kong: yellow for Donkey Kong, red for [[Diddy Kong]], purple for [[Tiny Kong]], blue for [[Lanky Kong]], and green for [[Chunky Kong]]. There are exactly 500 bananas (100 per color) in each of the game's seven levels, for a total of 3,500 bananas in the entire game. The bananas are required collectable items, as the Kongs must feed them to [[Scoff]], who slowly grows larger for each banana that he eats. Eventually, Scoff becomes large enough to stomp his platform, allowing [[Troff]] to reach the key in the boss door.


In ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y.]]'', the [[microgame]] [[Food Colors]] features red and yellow foods that must be placed on the matching trays. The Banana Bunch must be obviously placed onto the yellow tray. Eventually, bananas reappear in the game's [[WiiWare]] counterpart ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase]]'', in which a microgame called [[DK Country]] has [[Diddy Kong]] getting shot out of a [[Bonus Barrel]] and collect six bananas, whilst avoiding a [[Zinger]].
Unlike the ''Donkey Kong Country'' trilogy, Banana Bunches are worth five bananas. A [[Banana Balloon]] is worth ten bananas, which the Kong can obtain by sniping their associated Banana Balloon.


In ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'', Bananas appear as obstacles in the [[Super Mario Kart (microgame)|Super Mario Kart]] microgame, where the player must stay on [[Rainbow Road (SNES)|Rainbow Road]]. They also appear in the [[Donkey Kong Country (microgame)|Donkey Kong Country]] microgame, where Donkey Kong must be fired from a [[Barrel Cannon]] into a row of bananas.
Aside from this, bananas, or rather, their peels, played an important role in the final battle against K. Rool, more specifically when fighting him as [[Lanky Kong]]. Due to K. Rool being blinded due a light fixture falling on him, Lanky uses barrels containing giant banana peels to place one on the ring, and then deliberately play music to K. Rool to lure him over to the banana peel so he will slip on it.


===''Luigi's Mansion'' series===
Bananas Peels appear twice in the [[Luigi's Mansion (series)|''Luigi's Mansion'' series]]. In ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'', [[Garbage Can Ghost]]s will throw banana peels on the floor. [[Luigi]] can slip on these peels, damaging him with 5 HP taken away, or 10 HP in [[Luigi's Mansion (location)#Luigi's Mansion|the Hidden Mansion]]. They can also be found lying on the ground in the [[Dining Room (Luigi's Mansion)|Dining Room]], where [[Mr. Luggs]] resides. In ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]'', Banana Peels can come out of trash bins. If Luigi or [[Gooigi]] walks on a banana peel, they slip and lose 1 HP.

Bananas are one of many [[food]] items in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', where they subtract 5% damage. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', bananas appear in the [[Tortimer Island]] stage, and subtract 3% damage. The Banana Peel also appears as an item in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and subsequent games. Once thrown, anyone who walks over it will trip and fall onto their back. It is also used in Diddy Kong's [[Banana Peel (move)|down special move]]. In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', an offensive item known as a [[Banana Gun]] that produces a Banana Peel after being used also appears.

===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
[[File:Super Mario Sunshine Banana.png|thumb|left|150px|A banana as it appears in ''Super Mario Sunshine'']]
In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', Bananas grow throughout the [[Isle Delfino]] and are sold in [[Delfino Plaza]]'s market sector by a street vendor. A local woman took enough interest in them to request [[Mario]]'s help in gathering them. In [[Ricco Harbor]], a supply of bananas and other fruit are stored in a gigantic tank used in the episode "Yoshi's Fruit Adventure". [[Hotel Delfino]] in [[Sirena Beach]] sell the fruit at fruit bars as well. The [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s on the island turn pink after eating them, allowing them to spit [[Juice]] of the same color that turns enemies into pink ascending [[Yoshi Platform|platforms]]. They also fall faster and have more friction than other fruits.

====''Super Mario Maker''====

[[File:Mass Apeel Party 5.png|thumb|left|200px|Bananas in [[Mass A-peel]], a minigame from ''Mario Party 5''.]]
The Banana is a popular item that shows up in many [[minigames]] in the ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' series. They are mainly featured in [[Minigame|Donkey Kong minigame]]s, where bananas are worth one, two, or three [[coin]]s depending on a random multiplayer. The banana also appears in many Mic Minigames. In ''[[Mario Party 5]]'' and the other ''Mario Party'' games after, there is a kind of banana called Banana Bunches. Banana Bunches are worth five bananas. They are mainly found in [[Minigame|Donkey Kong minigame]]s.
Bananas have made various appearances in [[minigame]]s in the ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' series such as in [[Tree Stomp]] in ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', acting as hazards (along with golden variants that increase the speed of any player that collects them). Players tripping over banana peels also determine which path is taken in [[Koopa's Seaside Soiree]] in ''Mario Party 4''. Bananas are prominently featured in [[Minigame|Donkey Kong minigame]]s in ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', ''[[Mario Party 6|6]]'', and''[[Mario Party 7|7]]'', where they are worth one, two, or three [[coin]]s depending on a random multiplier determined by whoever has landed on a [[DK Space]] before the minigame starts. In these games, there are also Banana Bunches, which are worth five bananas each and also mainly found in Donkey Kong minigames. Bananas appear in ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]'' as obstacles in [[Bowser's Shocking Slipup]], where they appear as one of only two items on the roulettes. They stun the player for a few seconds if touched. In ''[[Super Mario Party]]'', Bananas appear in the minigame [[Trip Navigator]] as the main obstacles. If a player touches one, they are stunned for one second.


====''Mario Party 9''====
Outside of minigames, Bananas directly replace [[Mini Star]]s in [[DK's Jungle Ruins]] in ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', so the goal is to have the most bananas by the end. [[Z-Banana]]s similarly appear as a counterpart to [[Mini Ztar]]s.
In ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', Bananas replace [[Mini Star]]s in the unlockable board [[DK's Jungle Ruins]]. On this board, the players' goal is to collect the most Bananas. They can be won on this board in all the same ways that Mini Stars can be won on other boards. [[Z-Banana]]s also appear on this board as a counterpart to [[Mini Ztar]]s.


====''Mario Party 10''====
===''WarioWare'' series===
''[[Mario Party 10]]'' also features bananas, although this time, their role is that of figurant props for the [[Donkey Kong Board]]. They are carried in bunches by a toy [[Cart|minecart]].
{{multiple image|align=right|direction=horizontal|width=200|image1=DonkeyKongCountry WarioWareGold.png|caption1=[[Donkey Kong]] collecting bananas in ''WarioWare Gold''{{'}}s [[Donkey Kong Country (microgame)|Donkey Kong Country]] microgame|image2=WWGIT Banana Cameo.jpg|caption2=The banana in the ''WarioWare: Get It Together!'' microgame Shadow Sports}}
Bananas appear in a few [[microgame]]s of the [[WarioWare (series)|''WarioWare'' series]]. In ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase]]''{{'}} [[DK Country]], [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] has to collect six bananas while avoiding a [[Zinger]]. In ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'', Bananas appear in two microgames: [[Super Mario Kart (microgame)|Super Mario Kart]], as obstacles to avoid on [[SNES Rainbow Road|Rainbow Road]], and [[Donkey Kong Country (microgame)|Donkey Kong Country]], where Donkey Kong must fire into a row of bananas from a [[Barrel Cannon]]. In ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]''{{'}}s [[Shadow Sports]], the Banana Peel from the ''Mario Kart'' series only briefly appears.


====''Mario Party: Star Rush''====
===''Mario Tennis'' series===
Bananas appear in ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]'' as obstacles in [[Bowser's Shocking Slipup]], where they appear as one of only two items on the roulettes. They stun the player for a few seconds if touched.
====''Mario Power Tennis''====
In ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'', in the mode where players can hit the balls through [[Item Box]]es, the banana tends to appear, known as "Slippery Danger" within the game. The player has to hit the ball with the racquet in order to use the item. When used, the banana will be attached with the ball until it stays still on the ground in the case the ball bounces. Also, the [[Garbage Can Ghost]] in the Luigi's Mansion stage throws bananas that have the same function as the regular bananas as a stage gimmick.


===''Luigi's Mansion''===
====''Mario Tennis Open''====
In ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'', [[Garbage Can Ghost]]s will throw Banana Peels on the floor. [[Luigi]] can slip on these peels, damaging the plumber with 5 HP taken away (10 HP in [[Luigi's Mansion (place)#Luigi's Mansion|the Hidden Mansion]]). They can also be found lying on the ground in the [[Dining Room (Luigi's Mansion)|Dining Room]], where [[Mr. Luggs]] resides.
In ''[[Mario Tennis Open]]'', plenty of bananas are seen on the [[DK Jungle (Mario Tennis Open)|DK Jungle]] court. The banana is the emblem for the [[Banana Cup]] and appears on its trophy. Tennis gear for [[Mii]]s are designed based on this item.

[[File:Banana Peel Wii U.jpg|thumb|left|200px|A Banana Peel in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''.]]
Normal bananas and Banana Bunches also appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'', where they are part of a scoring system called '''beats''' (or '''banana points'''<ref>[https://www.nintendo.com/consumer/gameslist/manuals/Wii_DK_Jungle_Beat.pdf ''New Play Control! Donkey Kong Jungle Beat'' instruction booklet]. Page 11. nintendo.com. Retrieved April 27, 2022.</ref> in the [[New Play Control! Donkey Kong Jungle Beat|New Play Control! version]]). In this game, Donkey Kong's banana total acts as his overall health (in the New Play Control! version, they only act as his health for boss battles); losing all of his beats results in a [[Game Over]]. Normal bananas are worth one beat, and bunches are worth three, but stringing together multiple combos and clap grabbing multiple bananas increases the amount of beats they are worth. Lastly, there is a minigame after said levels involving Donkey Kong eating as many bananas as he can in the allotted period of time, to increase his beat total for that level.
Bananas are one of many [[food]] items in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. In ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'' they restore 5% damage; in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'', however, bananas restore only 3% damage, and only appear in [[Tortimer Island]] stage. The Banana Peel also appears as an item in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''. Once thrown, anyone who walks over it will trip and fall onto their back. It is also used in Diddy Kong's down special move.


===''Super Mario Sunshine''===
===''DK: King of Swing''===
Bananas grow throughout the [[Isle Delfino]] and are sold in [[Delfino Plaza]]'s market sector by a street vendor. A local woman took enough interest in them to request [[Mario]]'s help in gathering them. In [[Ricco Harbor]], a supply of Bananas and other fruit are stored in a gigantic tank used in the episode "Yoshi's Fruit Adventure". [[Hotel Delfino]] in [[Sirena Beach]] sell the fruit at fruit bars as well. The Yoshis on the island turn into [[Pink Yoshi]]s after eating them. They also fall faster and have more friction than other fruits.
In ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'', up to 300 bananas can be collected. Donkey Kong can then use the bananas to heal his health or become invincible.

===''Mario Golf'' series===
====''Mario Power Tennis''====
====''Mario Golf: World Tour'' / ''Mario Sports Superstars''====
In ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'', in the mode where players can hit the balls through [[Item Box]]es, the Banana tends to appear, known as "Slippery Danger" within the game. The player has to hit the ball with the racquet in order to use the item. When used, the banana will be attached with the ball until it stays still on the ground in the case the ball bounces. Also,the [[Garbage Can Ghost]] in the Luigi's Mansion stage throws bananas that have the same function as the regular bananas as a stage gimmick.
In ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'', bananas are seen in food bowls on some tables of the Castle Club's Royal Room, as well as inside barrels, which are the tee markers of the DK Jungle course. Golf gear is designed based on this item and available for use by Miis. In Diddy Kong's animation for getting a bogey, he eats a banana while lying down and throws it on the ground. He does the same when he gets a double bogey or worse, but then he tries to get up and walk, only to slip on the banana. This animation is reused in ''[[Mario Sports Superstars]]''.


====''Mario Tennis Open''====
====''Mario Golf: Super Rush''====
In ''[[Mario Tennis Open]]'', plenty of Bananas are seen on the DK Jungle court. The Banana is the emblem for the Banana Cup and appears on its trophy. Tennis gear for [[Mii]]s are designed based on this item.
In ''[[Mario Golf: Super Rush]]'', bananas appear as obstacles. They only appear in the [[Mario Golf: Super Rush#Battle Golf|Battle Golf]] mode inside clear spheres. If a player steps on one, they lose coins. There are also multiple bananas inside the spheres which surround the player with bananas.

[[File:Strikers Banana.png|thumb|left|Banana icon in ''Super Mario Strikers'']]
In the ''[[Mario Strikers (series)|Mario Strikers]]'' games, the banana acts as an item that players can collect. Once used, the player will drop three or five banana peels behind them, which will proceed to knock over any player who runs into them. This includes both the opponent, and the user. If used near an edge, only a few bananas will stay on the field, as the other bananas will fall off the stadium. A similar item is the [[Giant Banana]].


===''Mario Strikers'' series===
During [[Diddy Kong]]'s ground entrance, he pulls out a banana, and whacks it on his hand, which is used to say that he is going to crush his opponent.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and its [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|remake]], bananas are used by [[Crawful]]s as part of one of their attacks. The Crawful throws the banana in front of it and slips towards the character currently being used, who must punch it away or hammer it respectively.

Banana Peels reappear in ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]''. They can either stop opponents for a short time, or power up the ball or puck. When used as an item shot, the ball will make a curved path, a reference to the face that bananas themselves are curved, and can cause opposing players to slip if they touch it. In [[Western Junction]], a train with cars full of Banana Peels may drive through the court, and [[Shy Guy]]s on board the train will throw Banana Peels on the court so any player may slip over them.

In ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games]]'', Bananas appear in [[Snow Day Street Hockey]] on the Market Street Rink. When the puck hits a banana seller's stand, banana peels will temporarily scatter over the rink and cause those who hit them to slip and be stunned. The banana peels use their design from ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''.
