History
Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest
In Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, Banana Bunch Coins are found in various places in each level. They can be used to buy various items from several of the Kongs.

The colors were yellow for Donkey Kong, red for Diddy Kong, blue for Lanky Kong, purple for Tiny Kong and green for Chunky Kong. Numerous Banana Bunch Coins were scattered throughout the levels of the game for the Kongs to seek out. The Kongs needed to use these coins to purchase equipment and upgrades from Cranky Kong, Funky Kong, and Candy Kong.
There were also special multi-colored Banana Bunch Coins that could only be found when a Kong unearthed a dirt pile with the charge move learned from the Banana Fairy Queen. These coins were larger than regular Banana Bunch Coins, and, more importantly, they added five Banana Bunch Coins to each Kong's total, regardless of whether a certain Kong had been rescued or not.

- Donkey: 174
- Diddy: 178
- Lanky: 185
- Tiny: 193
- Chunky: 219
- Total: 949
During the game, each Kong spends 21 coins on personal upgrades, Donkey spends an extra 2 on the DK Arcade game, and a total of 53 coins are spent on shared upgrades. At the end of Donkey Kong 64, the completed Banana Bunch Coin total is 789.

They are redesigned from the Banana Bunch Coins of previous games, as they have an image of a single banana on them; however, they mostly function the same.
It also appears as a prize on the Slot Machine Barrel.
The Kongs can collect up to 999 Banana Coins.
