Template:Item-infobox Banana Coins, originally Banana Bunch Coins, are currency used in the Donkey Kong series of games. They are coins with a picture of either a Banana or Banana Bunch on them. They most commonly appear in yellow, but can also be on rare occasion colored red, blue, purple, and green.
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.
Donkey Kong 64
In Donkey Kong 64, they came in five different colors, and each of the five Kongs could only collect Banana Bunch Coins of their own color. 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.
Totals
The total amounts of Banana Bunch Coins each Kong collects are as follows:
- 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.
DK Jungle Climber
Banana Bunch Coins returned in DK Jungle Climber. In this game, five were featured in each level. After the game was beaten, they could be spent on extra levels.
Donkey Kong Country Returns
Banana Coins appear in Donkey Kong Country Returns and Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, where they can be used to buy various items in Cranky Kong's Shop. 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.
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
Banana Coins return in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. In this game, they have a similar appearance to Donkey Kong Country Returns, but they are colored golden instead of yellow and continually sparkle. Similarly to Donkey Kong Country Returns, they are used to buy items from Funky Kong's shop, and they can be obtained in many of the same ways. Like the previous game players can collect up to 999 Banana Coins.
