A Banana

A Banana is the most common item in the Donkey Kong games, appearing in almost every one. They look exactly like their real-world equivalent, with a yellow peel and a soft inside. Collecting 100 of these will give a Kong an extra life, as stated in the Donkey Kong Country manual: "Grab 100 of these to earn an extra life. A banana bunch is worth 10 bananas." There are also many other forms of Bananas, like Banana Bunches, worth 10 Bananas, and Banana Birds.
