Banana Fairy Island (also known as Banana Fairy Kingdom, Fairy Island,[1][2] or the Queen Banana Fairy's Island[3]) is a small island and the residence of the Banana Fairy Princess and the Banana Fairies.
Layout[edit]
The island's only notable feature is the large home of the Banana Fairies. The building is shaped like a Banana Fairy's head and wings, with green ivy growing beneath the eyelashes on the front. Contrary to its size, the Banana Fairy head has a small entryway at the "mouth". The Kongs are too large to enter it except for Tiny, if she uses her Mini-Monkey ability from a nearby Tiny Barrel. There are also eight Crystal Coconuts lying around the island shore, the fifth Bananaport Pad of the Kong Isle hub, and a Golden Banana in a small jail behind the head. Tiny can open the bars and obtain the Golden Banana by firing at a Feather Switch on the right.
In the interior, the Banana Fairy Princess sits at her banana peel-shaped throne in front of an altar-based structure. Each corner of the room has four Crystal Coconuts. There is a fountain with numerous lily pads and two endless waterfalls on each side. There is a large wooden door on the right side, which has the Golden Banana with the Rareware sticker behind it.
History[edit]
When Tiny first enters the building, she meets the Banana Fairy Princess, who is crying over the missing Banana Fairies. She gives a Banana Fairy's Camera to Tiny and the Kongs to retrieve the Banana Fairies and a unique shockwave ability.
Much later, Tiny can obtain the Golden Banana contained behind the wooden door after she returns every Banana Fairy successfully.
Trivia[edit]
- There is a glitch that allows the other four Kongs, Donkey Kong, Diddy, Lanky, and Chunky to enter the Banana Fairy Island's head by swimming underneath the island.
