Banana Birds have an essential role in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. A Banana Bird can usually be obtained from a [[secret cave]], where the player must play a memory game and copy the order in which the four crystals flash. If done correctly, a Banana Bird gets released from the crystal at the top of the ceiling. A few of the Banana Birds can be obtained from a [[Brothers Bear]]. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, Dixie and Kiddy can earn a Banana Bird from [[Funky Kong]], [[Swanky Kong]] and [[Cranky Kong]] if the player completes their respective minigames.
