'''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.
'''Banana Juice''' is an item from ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'', and ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''.  


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, the first ten times they are hit in that level, they do not lose a [[heart (item)|heart]]. This is represented by a yellow heart next to their heart with a number for the hits that can be blocked remaining. As long as one of these "hits" 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. If the player is in a case where damage does not put them into the full flinching animation, such as while [[Cling]]ing, then no animation plays at all and the player's control is not interrupted.
In ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' and its 3DS remake, it can be purchased from [[Cranky Kong's Shop]] for 20 [[Banana Coin]]s and 7 Banana Coins respectively. If [[Donkey Kong]] uses it before entering a level, it grants him ten additional hearts, and cause his body to become golden in appearance (though the golden coloration is absent in the silhouette levels). 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.


[[Rambi]] gains no benefit from Banana Juice, so even though the Kongs do not lose a heart Rambi still runs off when they take damage. Similarly, effects that instantly defeat the player ignore the Banana Juice. Aside from the universal case of [[pit|bottomless pit]]s, examples include crashing a [[Mine Cart]] or [[Rocket Barrel]], having a [[Barrel Cannon]] be destroyed while the player is still inside it, and getting washed away by the tides of [[Tidal Terror]].
The additional hearts granted by the Banana Juice are only temporary, as they do not increase Donkey Kong's or Diddy Kong's maximum health like a [[Heart Boost]] does; once an extra heart is lost, it cannot be restored. Additionally, the effect will be lost entirely should Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong lose all ten extra hearts, or lose a [[Extra life|life]] due to something fatal, such as falling down an [[Pit|abyss]]. The effects of Banana Juice will also be lost if the player either completes a level or quits prematurely.


The number of hits that a Banana Juice can block is 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 a hit has been used, it cannot be restored. Additionally, the effects of Banana Juice are lost if Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong lose a [[Extra life|life]], or leave the level.
In ''Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D'', if the player is playing the "New Mode", the Banana Juice will only protect the Kongs from up to 5 hits, as they can now be equipped with up to three items. Additionally, its effects will not be lost entirely if the Kongs lose a life by something fatal.


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. Unlike ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' and its 3DS remake, Donkey Kong will be immune to damage for a short period of time before the effect wears off. In the Nintendo Switch version, the star on the container is green instead of red.
