Page 15.</ref><ref>''Donkey Kong 64'' instruction booklet. Page 21.</ref> (or '''Banana Bunch Koins'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Land 2'' instruction booklet. Page 12.</ref>), are a currency used in the [[Donkey Kong (franchise)|''Donkey Kong'' franchise]], starting with ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. They are [[coin]]s depicting a [[banana]], or a [[Banana Bunch]] in earlier games. Their purpose varies between games, but are generally used to purchase an item or service from another [[Kong]]. Banana Coins were replaced with [[bear coin]]s in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and its handheld follow-up, ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. | ||

In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', numerous Banana Bunch Coins are scattered throughout every level. They appear in five colors, each corresponding to a Kong: yellow ones can only be collected by [[Donkey Kong]], red ones by [[Diddy Kong]], blue ones by [[Lanky Kong]], purple ones by [[Tiny Kong]] and green ones by [[Chunky Kong]]. Each Kong has to spend Banana Bunch Coins at [[Funky's Store]] to purchase weapons and ammo from [[Funky Kong]], at [[Cranky's Lab]] to purchase moves and abilities from [[Cranky Kong]], and at [[Candy's Music Shop]] to purchase musical instruments from [[Candy Kong]]. In total, every Kong spends 21 Banana Bunch Coins on personal upgrades, Donkey Kong spends an extra 2 to replay the ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'' arcade game, and a total of 53 are used for shared upgrades. There are 974 Banana Bunch Coins in total. After all coins possible are spent, the Kongs will have a remaining 814 Banana Bunch Coins among themselves if all coins are collected. The maximum number of Banana Bunch Coins for each Kong are as follows: 179 for Donkey Kong; 183 for Diddy; 190 for Lanky; 198 for Tiny; and 224 for Chunky. The Mystery mode has an unlockable cheat allowing the player to have 999 Banana Bunch Coins; this cheat can be unlocked by collecting twenty Banana Fairies. | |||
A unique type of Banana Bunch Coin, known as [[5-Banana Coin]]s are also featured in the game, hidden under [[DK Dirt Pile]]s. These coins are larger than normal ones, and give five Banana Bunch Coins to each Kong, equaling a total of twenty-five. | |||
