A Golden Banana.

Golden Bananas are large shiny bananas from Donkey Kong 64, not to be confused with the Banana Hoard otherwise found throughout the Donkey Kong series.

The main plot of Donkey Kong 64 centers around Donkey Kong and his allies trying to reclaim Donkey Kong's prized Golden Bananas from the evil King K. Rool. In this game, whenever a Golden Banana appears, a voice will say "Oh, Banana!", and when a Kong collects one, it will say "Kong, Kong, Donkey Kong!" Golden Bananas are needed to access new worlds, since B. Locker will be blocking the world entrances. The Golden Bananas were stolen along with some of Donkey Kong's friends to distract him while the Blast-o-Matic was being charged. However, the Golden Bananas turn out to be essential in thwarting K. Rool's plot, as they are used to gain access the Kremlings' occupied territory.

The animated series featured a single Golden Banana of a different type in the episode "Raiders of the Lost Banana". This Golden Banana is found by DK in Inka Dinka Doo's Temple, and he decides to give it to Candy Kong as a present. As a result, however, DK sets off a curse that befalls anyone nearby the beholder. K. Rool later kidnaps Candy and demands she hand over the Banana, but DK shows up to rescue her and returns the Banana to Inka Dinka Doo. Polly Roger steals the Banana back, though, but now only K. Rool is affected by the curse.

Trivia

  • Interestingly, the Golden Bananas of Donkey Kong 64 have the Nintendo 64 logo on them, while the large Golden Banana in the game, obtained from the Banana Fairy Queen, has the Rare logo on it.
  • There are normally 201 Golden Bananas in Donkey Kong 64. However, through the use of a glitch, a 202nd banana is obtainable.
