[[File:DK64_Coconut.gif|frame|right|A coconut from ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'']]  
Coconuts in ''[[Donkey Kong 3]]'' are indestructible projectiles sometimes thrown by [[Donkey Kong]]. In the arcade version, he throws them in every stage, while in home console releases, he does so in the [[Greenhouse (yellow)|yellow greenhouse]] only. Coconuts also appear in ''[[Donkey Kong 3: Dai Gyakushū]]''. The back of the North American ''Donkey Kong 3'' [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] cover mistakenly misspells coconuts as "cocnuts".

In ''[[Donkey Kong 3]]'', they appear as indestructible projectiles sometimes thrown by [[Donkey Kong]]. They reappear in the game's semi-sequel, ''[[Donkey Kong 3: Dai Gyakushū]]''.  
===''Donkey Kong Country''===
Coconuts in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' are small projectiles shot by [[Necky]]s and [[Mini-Necky]]s and large projectiles shot by [[Master Necky]] and [[Master Necky Snr.]], all as a method of attacking.


In the [[Donkey Kong Country (series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' games]], they are shot by [[Necky]]s and [[Mini-Necky]]s as a form of attack; [[Master Necky]] and [[Master Necky Sr.]] also spit them as their sole attack. In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', Donkey Kong uses his [[Coconut Shooter]] that fires coconuts.
===''Club Nintendo''===
A coconut in the ''[[Club Nintendo (German magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' comic "[[Donkey Kong in: Banana Day 24|Banana Day 24]]" is a fruit adored by alien species. The giant aliens mistook [[Earth]] for being a giant coconut when pulling it away, and they agree to return the planet back to its original position as [[Diddy Kong]] starts to give them [[banana]]s in return.


Another type of coconut is the [[Crystal Coconut]], which carries different powers depending on the media that it appears in. For example, in the [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' television series]], the crystal coconut has healing and fortune-telling properties, whereas in ''Donkey Kong 64'', Crystal Coconuts are a consumable source of power for the Kongs' special abilities.

Coconuts in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' are shot from Donkey Kong's [[Coconut Shooter]]. Coconuts also have a fictional counterpart, [[Crystal Coconut]]s, a consumable source of power for the Kongs' special abilities.
Coconuts also play a role in the ''Donkey Kong'' comic "[[Donkey Kong in: Banana Day 24|Banana Day 24]]," published in the German magazine ''[[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo]]''. In this story, giant aliens connect [[Earth]] to their spaceship, pulling the planet away. As it turns out, they erroneously took Earth for a huge coconut, a fruit their species adores. They agree to return the planet back to its original position as [[Diddy Kong]] starts to give them [[banana]]s in return.

However, coconuts do not affect racers who are using Super Stars. In the track's reappearance in Mario Kart Wii, no coconuts are thrown.
