==History==
The Banana Queen was sealed behind an [[evil barrier]] from [[Baron K. Roolenstein]] when he invaded the [[Northern Kremisphere]]. The Banana Birds were scattered in various parts of the island, including being trapped in [[secret cave]]s. The Banana Queen can only be freed with the assistance of every Banana Bird, in which there are 15 in total (20 in the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake). She is located at the very top-left part of the Northern Kremisphere hub, which can only be accessed from the [[Gyrocopter]]. In the original release, the Banana Queen is located behind some clouds. In the Game Boy Advance version, she is located on top of a mountain to the right of the secret cave, K's Cache. Her barrier can be seen from the overworld.
 
After [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] regather every Banana Bird, they must visit [[Wrinkly's Save Cave]] (or [[Wrinkly's Retreat]] in the Game Boy Advance re-release). From there, every Banana Bird flies them up to the Banana Queen's location.
 
When the Kongs return the Banana Birds to the Banana Queen, they all sing an enchanted song that destroys her barrier. She thanks the Kongs, and gets revenge on Baron K. Roolenstein, who stole [[Funky Kong|Funky]]'s [[Hover Craft]] and drove it around the Northern Kremisphere. A brief chase scene occurs on it, where the Banana Queen, with the Kongs on her back, chases Baron K. Roolenstein around the overworld. She eventually flies above K. Rool and drops a giant egg onto him.
