The '''Banana Cup''' is a [[cup]] in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series introduced in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' as the sixth cup in that game. It exclusively features [[classic course]]s and is the second retro cup overall; these may be from any cup of a previous game, though they are more commonly from the [[Mushroom Cup]] or [[Flower Cup]]. The cup is somewhat more difficult than the [[Shell Cup]], and its difficulty is comparable to that of the Flower Cup. The emblem of the cup is a [[Banana]]. The Banana Cup also appears in ''[[Mario Tennis Open]]'', following the [[Flower Cup]] and preceding the [[Special Cup#Mario Tennis series|Champions Cup]]. All of the courses in ''Mario Kart DS'' and ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''{{'}}s Banana Cups have reappeared in later games in the series.
