'''Bananas''' are common tropical [[Fruit|fruit]] from the ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'', ''[[Yoshi (franchise)|Yoshi]]'', and [[Donkey Kong (franchise)|''Donkey Kong'']] franchises. They are based on {{wp|banana|the fruit of the same name}}, specifically the {{wp|Cavendish banana}}. Bananas are widely used as [[food]] due to their restorative properties and '''Banana Peels''' are also used as an offensive weapon in competitions such as the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series.

==History==
===''Donkey Kong'' franchise===
====''Donkey Kong Jr.''====
A banana bunch lying under a vine is among the fruit [[Donkey Kong Jr.]] can drop on enemies in [[Stage 1 (Donkey Kong Jr.)|Stage 1]] of his [[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|debut game]]. Like every other fruit in the game, this banana bunch awards the player 400 points if touched.

====''Donkey Kong Country'' series====
[[File:banana.jpg|thumb|120px|left|A Banana from the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' series]]
Bananas are the ubiquitious items appearing in every ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land (series)|Donkey Kong Land]]'' to date. They work similarly to the [[Coin]]s from the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]]. In these games, for every one hundred bananas collected, the player is granted an [[extra life]]. [[Banana Bunch]]es, which are worth ten regular bananas, appear very frequently as well.

In ''Donkey Kong Country'', bananas and Banana Bunches are common within [[Bonus Area]]s, even having a type specifically featuring them, "Collect the Bananas!". Throughout the game, [[Donkey Kong]] can sometimes reveal a Banana Bunch by using [[Hand Slap]] in a specific location.

In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', some groups of bananas are in the shape of an arrow, pointing at a wall. Brekaing the wall reveals the entrance to a [[Bonus Area]]. Sometimes a single, standalone banana in an higher area represents the location of either a hidden object (such as a [[Barrel Cannon]] or a hook), a hidden item (such as an [[Extra Life Balloon]]), or even a [[Bonus Barrel]]. This also occurs in the sequel, ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' In both games, some bananas are arranged in the shape of a controller button, indicating the button that the player must press in that moment. One such example is in the ''Donkey Kong Country 3'' level, [[Bobbing Barrel Brawl]], where a group of bananas shaped as a "Y" tell the player to press {{button|snes|y}} for [[Ellie the Elephant|Ellie]] to draw over a [[TNT Barrel]] stuck between two red [[Buzz (enemy)|Buzz]]es. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] port, the arrangement of these bananas were updated to match with the appropriate Game Boy Advance button.

Bananas appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'', reprising their role from the earlier ''Donkey Kong Country'' games.Additionally, there are winged bananas that float around in certain areas (mostly Bonus Areas), which are worth five bananas. In the [[Golden Temple]], there are enormous, floating bananas (amongst other [[fruit]]) that serve as platforms for Donkey and Diddy Kong.

In ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', collecting one hundred bananas will enable the [[Kong]]s to perform a [[Kong POW]], aside from receiving an extra life. [[Flying Banana]]s are followed by trails of regular bananas and will turn into an important item, such as a [[Banana Coin]] or a [[Puzzle Piece (Donkey Kong Country series)|Puzzle Piece]], when all bananas behind it are collected.

====''Donkey Kong 64''====
[[File:DK64 Banana Colour.gif|thumb|150px|left|The different colored Bananas from ''Donkey Kong 64'']]
In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', bananas are featured in five different colors. Each color can only be collected by a certain Kong: yellow for Donkey Kong, red for [[Diddy Kong]], purple for [[Tiny Kong]], blue for [[Lanky Kong]], and green for [[Chunky Kong]]. There are exactly 500 bananas (100 per color) in each of the game's seven levels, for a total of 3,500 bananas in the entire game. The bananas are required collectable items, as the Kongs must feed them to [[Scoff]], who slowly grows larger for each banana that he eats. Eventually, Scoff becomes large enough to stomp his platform, allowing [[Troff]] to reach the key in the boss door.

Unlike the ''Donkey Kong Country'' trilogy, Banana Bunches are worth five bananas. A [[Banana Balloon]] is worth ten bananas, which the Kong can obtain by sniping their associated Banana Balloon.

Aside from this, Bananas, or rather, their peels, played an important role in the final battle against K. Rool, more specifically when fighting him as [[Lanky Kong]]. Due to K. Rool being blinded due a light fixture falling on him, Lanky uses barrels containing giant banana peels to place one on the ring, and then deliberately play music to K. Rool to lure him over to the banana peel so he will slip on it.

====''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat''====
{{redirect|Beat|the Mega Man character and one of [[Mega Man]]'s custom special moves in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]] and [[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]|[[Mega Man#Rush Coil|Mega Man § Rush Coil]]}}
Normal bananas and banana bunches also appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'', this time called '''Beats'''. In this game, Donkey Kong's banana total acts as his overall health (in the New Play Control! version, they only act as his health for boss battles); losing all of his beats results in a [[Game Over]]. Normal bananas are worth one Beat, and bunches are worth three, but stringing together multiple combos and clap grabbing multiple bananas increases the amount of Beats they are worth. Lastly, there is a minigame after said levels involving Donkey Kong eating as many bananas as he can in the allotted period of time, to increase his Beat total for that level.

====''DK: King of Swing''====
In ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'', up to 300 bananas can be collected. Donkey Kong can then use the bananas to heal his health or become invincible.

===''Mario Kart'' series===
[[File:MK8-Line-Yoshi-Banana.gif|thumb|left|150px|[[LINE]] sticker of Yoshi slipping on a banana peel.]]
[[File:Banana - Mario Kart Wii.png|thumb|150px|A standard banana from ''Mario Kart Wii'']]
The Banana (also known as the Banana Peel) is one of the most common items in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]] and has appeared in every game of the series. A Banana Peel causes a [[kart]] to spin-out if the vehicle touches the slippery item, slowing them down a bit. Banana Peels can either be placed behind a kart, or be thrown forward down the track. It can also be held behind the kart as a defensive countermeasure against homing [[Red Shell]]s and, to a lesser extent, [[Green Shell]]s. Bananas can also come in threes, known as Triple Bananas. When used, three bananas automatically attach themselves to the back of the kart. Like many other items in the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]], the Banana has eyes. The Banana also appears as the emblem of the [[Banana Cup]].

====''Mario Kart 64''====
[[File:BananaBunch_MK64.png|frame|left]]
In ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', along with single bananas, there are [[Banana Bunch]]es, which grant five normal Bananas.

====''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''====
[[File:MKDD Giant Banana.png|thumb|125px|A Giant Banana from ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'']]
Bananas return in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. There is also a larger variant in the game called the [[Giant Banana]], which only [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] can use.

====''Mario Kart DS''====
[[File:MKDS Triple Bananas.jpg|thumb|125px|[[Triple Bananas]] from ''Mario Kart DS'']]
Bananas return in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. The [[Triple Bananas]] are also introduced in this game, and it acts like the previous Banana Bunch, except it only gives three Bananas that line up behind the kart.

====''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''====
Triple Bananas return in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', however, rather than following behind the Kart, [[Bike]] or [[ATV]] they orbit it, similarly to Triple Green or Red Shells. A single banana appears the adverts for [[List of sponsors in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe#BaNaNa Boy|BaNaNa Boy]].

====''Mario Kart Tour''====
{{new subject|section=yes}}
[[File:MKT Icon GiantBanana.png|thumb|A Giant Banana from ''Mario Kart Tour'']]
Bananas reappear in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. The Triple Bananas and the Giant Banana also return, with the same functions as the previous games. However, unlike the previous games, the Triple Bananas are exclusive to [[Larry Koopa|Larry]] and [[Lemmy Koopa|Lemmy]], and the Giant Banana is exclusive only to Donkey Kong. Diddy Kong's new exclusive item, the [[Banana Barrels]], shoot out Banana Peels in front of him for a certain amount of time.

===''Club Nintendo'' comics===
In the ''[[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' comic "[[Super Mario Klemp-Won-Do: Muskeln sind nicht alles!]]", Mario used some Bananas to make his opponent [[Blanka]] slip and fall.

Being the Kongs' favorite food, Bananas serve as the main victuals in the comic "[[Donkey Kong in: Banana Day 24]]" when Donkey and his friends travel to [[Outer Space]] in order to stop aliens from pulling [[Earth]] away from the sun. As it turns out, the culprits just erroneously took the planet for a huge [[coconut]], a fruit their species adores. Diddy suggests to give Bananas to the extraterrestrials as a compensation to get Earth back. This plan works, and the aliens are enthusiastic about the Bananas' taste.

Their use as weapons in the ''Mario Kart'' series was referenced in the comic "[[Die Jagd nach dem Nintendo 64: Krawall im All]]," when [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] dropped some Banana Peels in front of [[Wario]] and [[Bowser]], as they were competing to find a [[Nintendo 64]]-like spaceship.

===''Yoshi's Story''===
Bananas are the favorite fruit of [[Yoshi (species)|Yellow Yoshi]]s in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', along with the universally loved [[Melon]]s.

===''WarioWare'' series===
[[File:DonkeyKongCountry WarioWareGold.png|thumb|right|[[Donkey Kong]] collecting bananas in the [[Donkey Kong Country (microgame)|Donkey Kong Country]] microgame]]

====''WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase''====
Bananas appear in ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase]]'', in which a microgame called [[DK Country]] has [[Diddy Kong]] getting shot out of a [[Bonus Barrel]] and collect six bananas, whilst avoiding a [[Zinger]].

====''WarioWare Gold''====
In ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'', Bananas appear as obstacles in the [[Super Mario Kart (microgame)|Super Mario Kart]] microgame, where the player must stay on [[Rainbow Road (SNES)|Rainbow Road]]. They also appear in the [[Donkey Kong Country (microgame)|Donkey Kong Country]] microgame, where Donkey Kong must be fired from a [[Barrel Cannon]] into a row of bananas.

===''Mario Party'' series===
[[File:Mass Apeel Party 5.png|thumb|left|200px|Bananas in [[Mass A-peel]], a minigame from ''Mario Party 5''.]]
The Banana is a popular item that shows up in many [[minigames]] in the ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' series. They are mainly featured in [[Minigame|Donkey Kong minigame]]s, where bananas are worth one, two, or three [[coin]]s depending on a random multiplayer. The banana also appears in many Mic Minigames. In ''[[Mario Party 5]]'' and the other ''Mario Party'' games after, there is a kind of banana called Banana Bunches. Banana Bunches are worth five bananas. They are mainly found in [[Minigame|Donkey Kong minigame]]s.

====''Mario Party 9''====
In ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', Bananas replace [[Mini Star]]s in the unlockable board [[DK's Jungle Ruins]]. On this board, the players' goal is to collect the most Bananas. They can be won on this board in all the same ways that Mini Stars can be won on other boards. [[Z-Banana]]s also appear on this board as a counterpart to [[Mini Ztar]]s.

====''Mario Party: Star Rush''====
Bananas appear in ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]'' as obstacles in [[Bowser's Shocking Slipup]], where they appear as one of only two items on the roulettes. They stun the player for a few seconds if touched.

===''Luigi's Mansion''===
In ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'', [[Garbage Can Ghost]]s will throw Banana Peels on the floor. [[Luigi]] can slip on these peels, damaging the plumber with 5 HP taken away (10 HP in [[Luigi's Mansion (place)#Luigi's Mansion|the Hidden Mansion]]). They can also be found lying on the ground in the [[Dining Room (Luigi's Mansion)|Dining Room]], where [[Mr. Luggs]] resides.

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
[[File:Banana Peel SSBB.png|thumb|[[Kirby]] slipping on the Banana Peel in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'']]
[[File:Banana Peel Wii U.jpg|thumb|left|200px|A Banana Peel in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
Bananas are one of many [[food]] items in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', they restore 5% damage; in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', however, bananas restore only 3% damage, and only appear in [[Tortimer Island]] stage. The Banana Peel also appears as an item in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. Once thrown, anyone who walks over it will trip and fall onto their back. It is also used in Diddy Kong's [[Banana Peel (move)|down special move]]. In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', an offensive item known as a [[Banana Gun]] also appears.

===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
[[File:Super Mario Sunshine Banana.png|thumb|A banana as it appears in ''Super Mario Sunshine'']]
In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', Bananas grow throughout the [[Isle Delfino]] and are sold in [[Delfino Plaza]]'s market sector by a street vendor. A local woman took enough interest in them to request [[Mario]]'s help in gathering them. In [[Ricco Harbor]], a supply of Bananas and other fruit are stored in a gigantic tank used in the episode "Yoshi's Fruit Adventure". [[Hotel Delfino]] in [[Sirena Beach]] sell the fruit at fruit bars as well. The [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s on the island turn pink after eating them, allowing them to spit [[Juice]] of the same color that turns enemies into pink ascending [[Yoshi Platform|platforms]]. They also fall faster and have more friction than other fruits.

====''Super Mario Maker''====
[[File:Diddy Kong pose SMM.png|frame|left]]
In ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', a peeled banana appears in the [[Diddy Kong]] [[Costume Mario|costume]]'s pose when the player presses {{button|wiiu|padup}}.
{{br|left}}

===''Mario Tennis'' series===
====''Mario Power Tennis''====
In ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'', in the mode where players can hit the balls through [[Item Box]]es, the Banana tends to appear, known as "Slippery Danger" within the game. The player has to hit the ball with the racquet in order to use the item. When used, the banana will be attached with the ball until it stays still on the ground in the case the ball bounces. Also,the [[Garbage Can Ghost]] in the Luigi's Mansion stage throws bananas that have the same function as the regular bananas as a stage gimmick.

====''Mario Tennis Open''====
In ''[[Mario Tennis Open]]'', plenty of Bananas are seen on the DK Jungle court. The Banana is the emblem for the Banana Cup and appears on its trophy. Tennis gear for [[Mii]]s are designed based on this item.

===''Mario Golf: World Tour''===
In ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'', bananas are seen in food bowls on some tables of the Castle Club's Royal Room, as well as inside barrels, which are the tee markers of the DK Jungle course. Golf gear is designed based on this item and available for use by Miis. In Diddy Kong's Bogey animation, he eats a banana while lying down and throws it on the ground. He does the same when he gets a Double Bogey or worse, but then he tries to get up and walk, only to slip on the banana.

===''Mario Strikers'' series===
[[File:Strikers Banana.png|thumb|left|Banana icon in ''Super Mario Strikers'']]
In the ''[[Mario Strikers (series)|Mario Strikers]]'' games, the Banana acts as an item that players can collect. Once used, the player will drop three or five banana peels behind them, which will proceed to knock over any player who runs into them. This includes both the opponent, and the user. If used near an edge, only a few bananas will stay on the field, as the other bananas will fall off the stadium. A similar item is the [[Giant Banana]].

During [[Diddy Kong]]'s ground entrance, he pulls out a Banana, and whacks it on his hand, which is used to say that he is going to crush his opponent.

===''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''===
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and its [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|remake]], Bananas are used by [[Crawful]]s as part of one of their attacks. The Crawful throws the banana in front of it and slips towards the character currently being used, who must punch it away or hammer it respectively.

===''Mario Sports Mix''===
[[File:MSM 2-1 Hockey.png|thumb|right|[[Shy Guy]]s throwing Banana Peels from their train]]
Banana Peels reappear in ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]''. They can either stop opponents for a short time, or power up the ball or puck. When used as an item shot, the ball will make a curved path, a reference to the face that bananas themselves are curved, and can cause opposing players to slip if they touch it. In [[Western Junction]], a train with cars full of Banana Peels may drive through the court, and [[Shy Guy]]s on board the train will throw Banana Peels on the court so any player may slip over them.

===''Nintendo Land''===
In the ''[[Nintendo Land]]'' attraction [[Donkey Kong's Crash Course]], the objective is to collect bananas and reach [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Pauline]].

===''Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle''===
Bananas reappear as currency exclusively in the Donkey Kong Adventure mode of ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]'', replacing [[coin]]s from the main game.
