'''Golden Bananas''' are collectible items in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. They first appeared in the [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' television series]], and it was not until ''[[Mario Party]]'' when they made their first in-game appearance. Their most notable and defining appearance is in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. Golden Bananas were alluded to in as early as promotional media for ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''.


The first appearance of Golden Bananas was in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. Here [[Donkey Kong]]'s giant hoard of Golden Bananas ends up getting stolen by the [[Kremling Krew]] and he and his nephew [[Diddy]] set out to reclaim them. Golden Bananas can be seen in the backround of every boss battle in the game; also whenever the Kongs defeat a boss a Golden Banana will fall from the ceiling of the room they are in.

''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' does not have Golden Bananas, but there is a promotional artwork of Diddy pointing at a Golden Banana statue. This exact artwork was used in [[:File:Rareware Hiring Ad.jpg|a job advertisement]] for [[Rare]].


In ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'', Donkey Kong's Golden Bananas are once again stolen by the Kremling Krew and he and Diddy set out after them once again.

In ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', a single Golden Banana makes an appearance. While leaving [[Cranky Kong's Shop]], [[Cranky Kong]] can sometimes ramble about finding a Golden Banana that transports one to another dimension. After accessing the [[Golden Temple]] via the [[Rare Orb]]s, Donkey Kong and [[Diddy Kong]] are surprised to see the giant Golden Banana, held by two golden statues in Donkey Kong's likeness. Peeling its skin and tasting it does indeed transport them to another world.

[[File:Raiders365.png|thumb|The Golden Banana in the ''Donkey Kong Country'' episode, "Raiders of the Lost Banana"]]
A single Golden Banana appears in the "[[Raiders of the Lost Banana]]" episode of the [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' television series]]. It is found by Donkey Kong in [[Inka Dinka Doo]]'s [[Inka Dinka Doo's Temple|Temple]], and he decides to give it to [[Candy Kong]] as a present. As a result, however, Donkey sets off a curse of misfortune that befalls anyone nearby the beholder. Cranky insists he return the banana immediately lest the curse be permanent, but DK gives it to Candy in a moment of foolishness. King K. Rool later kidnaps Candy and demands she hand over the banana, but Donkey Kong shows up to rescue her and returns the banana to Inka Dinka Doo. However, [[Polly Roger]] then steals the banana back. Luckily for the Kongs, only K. Rool will now be affected by the curse since he had evil intentions for it. Though the Golden Banana makes no further appearance, it was presumably returned to Inka Dinka Doo, as the curse is now inactive, and hidden deeper within the temple to prevent further thefts.


In the games ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'' several Golden Bananas can be seen in the backround onboard the [[Flying Krock]].

A golden banana in clusters makes their game debut in ''[[Mario Party]]'' as the mysterious treasure that is locked away in the ancient ruins of [[DK's Jungle Adventure]]. At the end of the game, during the award ceremony, the winning player's stars form a giant [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]] which flies to the stone chest at the upper-left part of the board, which reveals the treasure.


The main plot of ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' centers around Donkey Kong and his allies trying to reclaim their Golden Bananas from the evil [[King K. Rool]]. In this game whenever a Golden Banana appears, a voice will say "Oh, Banana!" and when a Kong collects one, it will say "Kong, Kong, Donkey Kong!"
====''Mario Party 4''====
Golden bananas appear in ''[[Mario Party 4]]'' in the mini-game [[Tree Stomp]]. [[Ukiki]]s will occasionally throw them, which can speed up any character who touches them.


The [[Donkey Kong Country (show)|animated series]] featured a single Golden Banana of a different type in the episode "[[Raiders of the Lost Banana]]". This Golden Banana is found by DK in [[Inka Dinka Doo]]'s [[Inka Dinka Doo's Temple|Temple]], and he decides to give it to [[Candy Kong]] as a present. As a result, however, DK sets off a curse that befalls anyone nearby the beholder. K. Rool later kidnaps Candy and demands she hand over the Banana, but DK shows up to rescue her and returns the Banana to Inka Dinka Doo. [[Polly Roger]] steals the Banana back, though, but now only K.

* Interestingly, the Golden Bananas of ''Donkey Kong 64'' have the Nintendo 64 logo on them, while the large Golden Banana in the game, obtained from the Banana Fairy Queen, has the Rare logo on it.
During gameplay, [[King K.

Locker]] is assigned by K. Rool to block the [[Kong]]s from entering the other worlds; however, B. Locker allows them to enter if they have at least a minimum of a certain number of Golden Bananas (the requirement is different for each world). The Golden Bananas are no different from [[Power Star]]s in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', except aside from one character, Donkey Kong, the Golden Bananas also have to be recovered by his four sidekicks: [[Diddy Kong]], [[Tiny Kong]], [[Lanky Kong]], and [[Chunky Kong]]; the Kongs each have to collect five Golden Bananas in every world by fulfilling their own unique tasks and challenges, for a total of 25 Golden Bananas per world. There are a total of 200 Golden Bananas to collect in the seven worlds and the hub location, [[DK Isles]]. There is a hidden 201st Golden Banana that Tiny can obtain from the [[Banana Fairy Princess]], once every [[Banana Fairy]] is caught. The Banana Fairy Princess happily opens the door to an isolated room with the 201st Golden Banana, which is larger in size and sports the [[Rare]] logo, unlike every other Golden Banana. All 201 Golden Bananas are required for achieving a 100% [[completion]] rating and unlocking the second ending.

—Cranky Kong, Donkey Kong 64

Golden Bananas are collectible items in the Super Mario franchise. They first appeared in the Donkey Kong Country television series, and it was not until Mario Party when they made their first in-game appearance. Their most notable and defining appearance is in Donkey Kong 64. Golden Bananas were alluded to in as early as promotional media for Donkey Kong Country.

History[edit]

Donkey Kong Country series[edit]

Donkey Kong Country[edit]

Donkey Kong Country does not have Golden Bananas, but there is a promotional artwork of Diddy pointing at a Golden Banana statue. This exact artwork was used in a job advertisement for Rare.

Donkey Kong Country Returns[edit]

“They say there is a banana out there that not only tastes great, but warps you to an alternate dimension. I say, yes please!”
—Cranky Kong, Donkey Kong Country Returns

In Donkey Kong Country Returns, a single Golden Banana makes an appearance. While leaving Cranky Kong's Shop, Cranky Kong can sometimes ramble about finding a Golden Banana that transports one to another dimension. After accessing the Golden Temple via the Rare Orbs, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong are surprised to see the giant Golden Banana, held by two golden statues in Donkey Kong's likeness. Peeling its skin and tasting it does indeed transport them to another world.

Donkey Kong Country television series[edit]

Raiders of the Lost Banana
The Golden Banana in the Donkey Kong Country episode, "Raiders of the Lost Banana"

A single Golden Banana appears in the "Raiders of the Lost Banana" episode of the Donkey Kong Country television series. It is found by Donkey Kong in Inka Dinka Doo's Temple, and he decides to give it to Candy Kong as a present. As a result, however, Donkey sets off a curse of misfortune that befalls anyone nearby the beholder. Cranky insists he return the banana immediately lest the curse be permanent, but DK gives it to Candy in a moment of foolishness. King K. Rool later kidnaps Candy and demands she hand over the banana, but Donkey Kong shows up to rescue her and returns the banana to Inka Dinka Doo. However, Polly Roger then steals the banana back. Luckily for the Kongs, only K. Rool will now be affected by the curse since he had evil intentions for it. Though the Golden Banana makes no further appearance, it was presumably returned to Inka Dinka Doo, as the curse is now inactive, and hidden deeper within the temple to prevent further thefts.

Mario Party series[edit]

Mario Party[edit]

A golden banana in clusters makes their game debut in Mario Party as the mysterious treasure that is locked away in the ancient ruins of DK's Jungle Adventure. At the end of the game, during the award ceremony, the winning player's stars form a giant Star which flies to the stone chest at the upper-left part of the board, which reveals the treasure.

Mario Party 4[edit]

Golden bananas appear in Mario Party 4 in the mini-game Tree Stomp. Ukikis will occasionally throw them, which can speed up any character who touches them.

Mario Party 9[edit]

A large, golden Banana Bunch[1] appears in Mario Party 9 in the minigame DK's Banana Bonus. While moving left and right in the sky off-screen, this Banana Bunch can be reached by launching into the golden Barrel Cannon to reach a higher area. Whoever touches the golden Banana Bunch there earns ten bananas.

Donkey Kong 64[edit]

Banana hoard

“Oh, banana!”
—Golden Banana appearance soundbyte, Donkey Kong 64

In Donkey Kong 64, Golden Bananas, or Gold Bananas,[2] are Donkey Kong's supply of bananas that he keeps in his banana hoard. They are imprinted with a Nintendo 64 sticker. Despite being the first explicit appearance of Golden Bananas in a game, the manual implies that they were part of the banana hoard previously,[3][4] potentially referring to the Giant Bananas from Donkey Kong Country.

During gameplay, King K. Rool orders the Kremlings to steal the Golden Bananas and kidnap the other four Kongs (who are later freed) in an attempt to distract Donkey Kong while they repair the Blast-o-Matic. B. Locker is assigned by K. Rool to block the Kongs from entering the other worlds; however, B. Locker allows them to enter if they have at least a minimum of a certain number of Golden Bananas (the requirement is different for each world). The Golden Bananas are no different from Power Stars in Super Mario 64, except aside from one character, Donkey Kong, the Golden Bananas also have to be recovered by his four sidekicks: Diddy Kong, Tiny Kong, Lanky Kong, and Chunky Kong; the Kongs each have to collect five Golden Bananas in every world by fulfilling their own unique tasks and challenges, for a total of 25 Golden Bananas per world. There are a total of 200 Golden Bananas to collect in the seven worlds and the hub location, DK Isles. There is a hidden 201st Golden Banana that Tiny can obtain from the Banana Fairy Princess, once every Banana Fairy is caught. The Banana Fairy Princess happily opens the door to an isolated room with the 201st Golden Banana, which is larger in size and sports the Rare logo, unlike every other Golden Banana. All 201 Golden Bananas are required for achieving a 100% completion rating and unlocking the second ending.

A golden Banana bunch appears as the early HUD icon for the Golden Banana in the kiosk demo; it appears if players win Diddy Kong's Mine Cart mini-game. A single frame of the icon appears in the final game, as the emblem on B. Locker's head.

Donkey Kong Barrel Blast[edit]

A Golden Banana, worth fifty Bananas, is an item in Donkey Kong Barrel Blast. Many are found from Surprise Panels.

Mario Kart series[edit]

DK in the temple from 3DS DK Jungle
The Golden Banana statue in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

In the Mario Kart series, a Golden Banana statue appears in 3DS DK Jungle, inside the Golden Temple section near the exit, first appearing in Mario Kart 7, followed by Mario Kart 8 and its Nintendo Switch version. In the latter two games, the statue now appears in the anti-gravity section of the inner Golden Temple section, and it spins. In both games, the statue is consistently designed after its appearance in Donkey Kong Country Returns.

Gold Bananas appear as items in Mario Kart Arcade GP DX, where they can only be dropped from behind. If the player comes in contact, it causes their kart to spin out, making it difficult to operate for a certain period of time. Triple Gold Bananas also appear.

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle[edit]

A weapon based on a Golden Banana appears in Donkey Kong Adventure, the expansion pack for Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, as the Golden Gyre, a Bwananarang for Donkey Kong.
