Banana Ball
Banana Ball is the name of the Special Ball that Donkey Kong uses in Mario Superstar Baseball. While pitching, DK will toss a Banana at the batter. This will act as a Boomerang, as it will curve greatly when thrown, and then curve straight past the batter. Hitting this ball requires careful concentration, as it curves.
If DK is batting, he will also hit a Banana out into the field, which will also curve greatly, as it slices through the field. This is still hard to catch, but it it not necessarily impossible to catch the Banana Ball. It is a direct copy of Diddy's Boomerang Ball.
Trivia
- The player must obtain a King Banana Power-Up in Challenge Mode of Mario Superstar Baseball before being able to use this move.

Appearance in Mario Super Sluggers
Also, in Mario Super Sluggers, Diddy Kong takes the move. When used, It shows a small animation of Diddy Kong preparing the pitch, and when he throws the ball and it curves to make the shape of a banana. If Diddy Kong is the Captain, this move requires a mere single star on the star gauge. However, if Diddy Kong is not the Captain, it will require two.
