Bananas Faster is a multiplayer Donkey Kong minigame in Mario Party 7. Its title is a pun on "Bananas Foster," a rich dessert made from bananas and ice cream, among other ingredients.
Introduction
Donkey Kong jumps onto the middle platform, eats a banana, and throws the banana peel onto the wheel, which starts spinning.
Gameplay
The minigame involves a roulette-style wheel with bananas, Banana Bunches, and banana peels. While the wheel rotates at a great speed, the players must jump onto the wheel to collect bananas. By collecting bananas, the players' banana counts increase, which means more coins for the players after the minigame. If a player lands on a banana peel, they slip and fall, stunning them momentarily. Once any item has been collected, it disappears from the wheel. The minigame ends when all the bananas are collected or when time runs out.
Ending
The players and Donkey Kong stand on the middle platform. The players who collected bananas do their winning animations. If a player did not collect any bananas, they do their losing animation.
