A '''green banana''' is an item from the [[Donkey Kong (franchise)|''Donkey Kong'' franchise]]. They resemble unripened [[banana]]s also known as {{wp|guineo}}s.

===''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''===

Green bananas first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', where they are found in certain [[Bonus Level]]s. In these Bonus Levels, the object is for [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] to collect fifteen of them within a time-limit. If they succeed, they are awarded with a [[Bonus Coin]]. The catch here is that only one green banana appears at a time, and they appear in random spots, forcing the [[Kong]]s into scrambling to collect them. If the Kongs are not fast enough, any uncollected green bananas disappear.

Green bananas later reappear in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' as collectibles only for [[Chunky Kong]]. If a different [[Kong]] is current active, the green bananas become transparent and cannot be collected. 100 green bananas appear in each of the game's seven levels after Chunky Kong is saved and unlocked from his prison in [[Frantic Factory]]. These colored bananas are required collectable items, as Chunky Kong needs them to to feed [[Scoff]]. Green [[Banana Bunch]]es make their first appearance and are worth five green bananas when collected. Shooting a [[Pineapple]] at a green [[Banana Balloon]] is worth ten green bananas from Chunky Kong's [[Pineapple Launcher]].

"'''''DK Sticker Packs''' Uncover these hidden items, found near green bananas, with stomps or hand slaps, then use the Game Boy Printer to print them out.''"</ref> in the form of Banana Bunches reappear in the [[Game Boy Color]] version of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' in certain levels, though they are simply a different color and serve the same function as a regular bunch, still being worth ten bananas when collected. They only appear to indicate a nearby [[DK Sticker Pack]], requiring a stomp or [[Donkey Kong]] to perform a [[Hand Slap]] near them to unearth it. After the DK Sticker Pack is collected, the corresponding green bananas turn into normal bananas. A total of 18 green bananas appear in the entire game.
