| | '''Banana Juice''' is an item from ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''. It can be purchased from [[Cranky Kong's Shop]] for twenty [[Banana Coin]]s. If [[Donkey Kong]] drinks it, it will grant him ten additional hearts, and cause his body to become golden in appearance, not unlike [[Metal Mario]]. Although it cannot be used by [[Diddy Kong]] in two-player mode, should the monkey get on Donkey's back, they will share the hearts and both appear to be golden. Whenever Donkey Kong loses one of the extra hearts, but has at least one remaining, he will briefly revert to their normal appearance, before reverting back to gold. |

| '''Banana Juice''' is an item from ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', its [[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D|Nintendo 3DS port]], its [[Donkey Kong Country Returns HD|Nintendo Switch port]], and ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''. When equipped, it causes the player to glow and negates the damage the player would take from enemies and obstacles. It can only block a limited number of hits before wearing off. | |

|
| In ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' and its ports, it can be purchased from [[Cranky Kong's Shop]] for 20 [[Banana Coin]]s. If [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] equip it, it grants them ten additional [[heart (item)|heart]]s for that level. These are represented by a yellow heart next to their heart with a number for the hits remaining. As long as one hearts remains, the characters have a golden glow and emit golden sparkles. In silhouette levels, this glow does not appear. It can also be used by [[Diddy Kong]] in two-player mode. Whenever Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong loses one of the extra hearts, but has at least one remaining, he will briefly revert to their normal appearance before returning back to gold. Donkey Kong flexes and Diddy Kong pumps an arm instead of flinching when they takes damage, but the effect preventing him from moving until the animation ends remains.
| | The additional hearts granted by Banana Juice are only temporary, as they do not increase Donkey Kong's maximum health like a [[Heart Boost]] does; once an extra heart is lost, it cannot be restored. Also, the effect will be lost entirely should Donkey Kong lose all ten extra hearts, or lose a [[Extra Life|life]] due to something fatal; such as falling down an [[abyss]]. The effects of Banana Juice will also be lost if the [[player]] either completes a level or quits prematurely. |
| | |
| The additional hearts from Banana Juice are temporary, being tied to the item rather than increasing Donkey Kong's or Diddy Kong's maximum number of hearts like a [[Heart Boost]] does. Once an extra heart is lost, it cannot be restored. Additionally, the hearts from Banana Juice are lost if Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong lose a [[Extra life|life]], or leave the level.
| |
| | |
| In the New Mode of ''Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D'' and the Modern Mode of ''Donkey Kong Country Returns HD'' Banana Juice only costs seven Banana Coins. It only provides five hearts, but this is balanced out by their ability to equip a maximum of three items in New Mode and nine items in Modern Mode. Additionally, its effects are not lost if the Kongs lose a life. When the player has one or two hearts from Banana Juice left, the golden glow slowly flickers instead of staying constant. If the player has more than one Banana Juice equipped at once, the ones other than the first wait until the player is is out of hearts from the first Banana Juice to activate. Banana Juices stay in their bottle form while waiting.
| |
| | |
| In ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'', Banana Juice can be purchased at [[Funky's Fly 'n' Buy]] for 15 Banana Coins. The Banana Juice goes into effect after getting hit for the first time in any level as long as the juice is equipped. In the Nintendo Switch version, the star on the container is green instead of red.
