| '''Green bananas''' appear as items in a few [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'']]–related games, particularly the [[Donkey Kong Country (series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' series]] and ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. Green bananas have little difference from [[banana]]s, aside from having a light-green peel, comparably to [[Blue Banana]]s and their light-blue peels. | |

| | Green bananas first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', where they are found in certain [[Bonus Level]]s. In these Bonus Levels, the object is for [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] to collect fifteen of them within a time-limit. If they succeed, they are awarded with a [[Bonus Coin]]. The catch here is that only one green banana appears at a time, and they appear in random spots, forcing the [[Kong]]s into scrambling to collect them. If the Kongs are not fast enough, any uncollected green bananas disappear. |

They only appear to indicate a nearby [[DK Sticker Pack]], requiring a stomp or [[Donkey Kong]] to perform a [[Hand Slap]] near them to unearth it. After the DK Sticker Pack is collected, the corresponding green bananas turn into normal bananas. A total of 18 green bananas appear in the entire game.

| Green bananas in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' are collectibles only for [[Chunky Kong]]. If a different [[Kong]] is current active, the green bananas become transparent and cannot be collected. 100 green bananas appear in each of the game's seven levels after Chunky Kong is saved and unlocked from his prison in [[Frantic Factory]]. These colored bananas are required collectable items, as Chunky Kong needs them to feed [[Scoff]]. Green [[Banana Bunch]]es make their first appearance and are worth five green bananas when collected. Shooting a [[Pineapple]] at a green [[Banana Balloon]] is worth ten green bananas from Chunky Kong's [[Pineapple Launcher]]. | | Green bananas along with [[Banana Bunch|bunch variant]]s later reappear in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' as collectibles only for [[Chunky Kong]]. |

| In the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' animated series, green bananas of a different type appear in the episode "[[Watch the Skies]]". They are eaten by Diddy, who believes it would keep the aliens away. Later, when he sees [[General Klump]] sleepwalking and mistakes him for an alien, Diddy shoots a green banana out of its skin at him, waking him up.
