There are twenty Banana Fairies in the game. When the Kongs capture all of them, Tiny can revisit the Banana Fairy Princess, who unlocks a room for her with a Golden Banana with the Rare logo on it.

Donkey Konga series[edit]

The sprite of a Banana Fairy from Donkey Konga 2 and its sequel, Donkey Konga 3

In the Donkey Konga series, beginning with Donkey Konga 2, a Banana Fairy appears in the Street Performance mode. If the player successfully hits 25 consecutive beats, a Banana Fairy appears and floats around Donkey Kong. This doubles the number of coins that he obtains for each beat that he hits. If the player misses another a beat, the Banana Fairy leaves and its effect wears off. The Banana Fairy reappears in Donkey Konga 3 JP, having an identical role as in Donkey Konga 2.

Donkey Kong Barrel Blast[edit]

Banana Fairy's icon from Donkey Kong Barrel Blast

Banana Fairies reappear in Donkey Kong Barrel Blast. They are items that appear in red balloons, and they fly around the user for a short time. During this time, the fairy will attract bananas to them, making the Banana Fairy a type of banana magnet. They can also attract balloons, but not Golden Bananas. If they are used by a Kong, their effect will last a little longer.

Profiles[edit]

Donkey Kong 64[edit]

  • Instruction booklet bio from Professor Cranky Kong: "Who’s this?!? I didn’t see any fairy when I looked around. She... er, must be a secret character or something. Yep, I remember now, a secret character. With bananas. Obviously, I... um, know where she is, but if I told you, it wouldn’t be a challenge to find her, would it? So although I know everything about this... er, secret fairy banana character, I’m not saying anything. Let’s move on shall we?"[1]
  • Prima Games guide: "Mrs. Fairy has a problem. All her Banana Fairies have been frightened away! Can you help? She'll give you the Banana Camera to help capture the errant Fairies. When you find one, take its picture with the Banana Camera Film to catch it. As a reward, each Banana Fairy will restock your inventory and increase the number of Oranges, Crystal Coconuts, and Film Rolls you can carry. Catch enough, and you'll unlock the game's secrets."[2]
