| | | The '''Banana Peel''' ({{ja|バナナのかわ}} ''Banana no kawa'') is [[Diddy Kong]]'s [[down special move]] where he tosses a [[Banana Peel]] the opposite direction he's facing. This move can either be used like a tilt or like a smash; the former will make the Banana Peel come out at a shorter arc, while the latter causes a much higher arc. Diddy can pick up Banana Peels from the ground and throw them for a small amount of damage and a slip. Additionally, if another character walks, runs, or [[roll]]s over a Banana Peel (or lands on top of one), they will slip and fall, and the Peel will move away from them a bit. It is common to slip on a banana peel, and then roll on it again. This goes for every character. Since these Banana Peels are owned by Diddy, he cannot be tripped up by them unless someone else picks them up. Only two Banana Peels can be in play for each Diddy Kong. If he tries to use this move with two Banana Peels on the field already, Diddy will activate the animation but another banana will not come out. Diddy can also [[glide toss]] his Banana Peels, among many other advanced techniques. The versatility of Diddy Kong's Banana Peels make them quite useful for both offensive and defensive means, as well as stage control, being one of the primary reasons why Diddy Kong is a top [[tier]] character. |
| The '''Banana Peel''' ({{ja|バナナのかわ|Banana no Kawa}}, ''Banana Peel'') is [[Diddy Kong]]'s [[down special move]]. | |
| | |
| ==Overview==
| |
| Using the move causes Diddy Kong to toss a [[Banana Peel]] over his shoulder behind him. This move can either be used with a tilt or [[smash attack|smash]] input, with the latter causing the Banana Peel to be thrown at a faster speed and in a higher arc. Like the standard Banana Peel item, Diddy can pick up and throw it at opponents to deal a small amount of damage and cause them to [[trip]], or leave it on the ground and cause them to trip if they make contact with it.
| |
| | |
| In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', it is common to slip on a banana peel, and then land on it once again. Since the Banana Peels are owned by Diddy, he cannot be tripped up by them unless someone else picks them up. Only two Banana Peels can be in play for each Diddy Kong; if he tries to use this move with two Banana Peels on the field already, he will perform the animation but another banana will not come out. Diddy can also [[glide toss]] his Banana Peels, among many other advanced techniques, such as glide-tossing them down to reposition them on the stage, often called "dribbling". The versatility of Diddy Kong's Banana Peels make them quite useful for both offensive and defensive means, as well as stage control, being one of the primary reasons for Diddy's top [[tier]] placement in ''Brawl''.
| |
| | |
| In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', both the move and its associated item have been weakened. Diddy can only have one peel out at a time; trying to create a second results in a new animation where he shrugs after the throwing motion, which has more [[ending lag]]. The peels also disappear after they hit or slip an opponent once, or after they are thrown twice. While the move is still very effective for landing grabs and scoring KOs, this makes it much less central to Diddy's playstyle compared to ''Brawl''. Additionally, after throwing a Banana Peel, there is a period of 12 [[frame]]s before Diddy can generate another, even if the previous one already has disappeared. However, this interval is extremely short and thus practically never comes into play.
| |
| | |
| In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the move works similar to how it does in ''Smash 4'', except the peel can hit opponents twice before disappearing, improving its utility. However, the aforementioned period between generating peels was significantly increased in [[update]]s, going from 12 to 61 frames in {{SSBU|8.0.0}}, then from 61 to 85 frames in {{SSBU|11.0.0}}. Prior to this, Diddy could perform an [[Infinite#Diddy Kong Banana Infinite|infinite]] named the "Pyramid Scheme", by repeatedly recatching the peel and throwing it through a [[soft platform]] onto the opponent. As of the updates, however, attempting to throw a new peel immediately to keep opponents trapped will fail, allowing them to escape.

| ===Item toss specifics===
| |
| Banana Peels are thrown by this move at an angle of 105°, with a speed of 2.2 for a tilt input, and 3.036 for a smash input, both multiplied by Diddy's item toss strength of 0.966667× (except in ''Brawl''). Interestingly, the move can still be used if Diddy already has an [[item]] on his hands, unlike other item-generating special moves such as the [[Link]]s' {{b|Bomb|Link}}s. In ''Brawl'', the item remains on his hands and he still throws a Banana Peel (or fails to do so if two already exist), while in ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'', he throws both items at once, with the held item before the Banana Peel (or simply the held item if a peel cannot be generated). In this case, the thrown item follows the same speed and arc as if the Banana Peel was thrown, depending on whether a tilt or smash input is used.
| |
| | |
| Per the [[Item throw#Formula|item throw damage formula]], which considers the throw as dropping the item, the damage dealt by it is equal to <code>base damage * 0.5 + base damage modifier + speed damage multiplier * toss speed</code>, where the toss speeds are as defined prior. As an example, for a [[Capsule]], the formula is <code>8 * 0.5 - 0.4 + 3 * toss speed</code>, dealing approximately 9.98% with a tilt throw, and 12.4% with a smash throw. In the case of the Banana Peel, this formula can be simplified to <code>1 + 1.7 * toss speed</code>.

| # '''Banana Peel''': Default.
| | # '''Shocking Banana Peel''': Paralyzes opponents that step on it. |
| # '''Shocking Banana Peel''': Throws a banana at a more horizontal trajectory (making it harder for Diddy to catch it) and is less effective on throw, but shocks opponents, allowing Diddy to perform new setups. | |
| # '''Battering Banana Peel''': Throws the banana peel straight up, and will launch enemies straight up.

| | Bananas were collectibles from the game ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. They functioned exactly the same as coins from the [[Mario (universe)|''Mario'' series]], as if a player collects 100, they will gain an extra life. There were even banana bunches that have ten of them. |

| ==Origin==
| | In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', there were banana peels on the floor in Donkey Kong's tree house, and if he (or any other kongs) walk over them, they will slip, but not trip and fall on the floor. Bananas as collectibles are a lot more important, as there are 100 colored bananas (each representing a different kong (yellow for [[Donkey Kong]], red for [[Diddy Kong]], blue for Lanky Kong, purple for [[Tiny Kong]] and green for Chunky Kong) in each world (except the final world, Hideout Helm) which are necessary for accessing boss battles. There were also the Golden Bananas, giant bananas that have a gold color which act simillar to the Power Stars from ''Super Mario 64'', as they are required to unlock more levels. Though they could simply be the same [[banana peel]]s from the ''Mario Kart'' series. |

| Bananas are collectibles from the ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong Country}}'' games. They functioned exactly the same as {{s|mariowiki|coin}}s from the [[Mario (universe)|''Mario'' series]], in that when a player collects 100, they will gain an extra life. Bananas can appear in bunches, which depending on the game can come in groups of five, ten, or twenty-five. ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong 64}}'' instead contains 500 bananas in each world, with each character needing to collect the matching 100 of them to access boss battles, in addition to {{s|mariowiki|Golden Banana}}s needed to unlock worlds.

|
| While bananas themselves are common within the ''Donkey Kong Country'' games, the concept of slipping on peels is not, though in [[Lanky Kong]]'s phase in the final boss fight of ''Donkey Kong 64'', he must lay giant banana peels on the floor and lure [[King K. Rool]] to slip and fall on them. Slipping on banana peels also appears as an Easter egg in DK's treehouse in that game. Both [[Donkey Kong]] and Diddy Kong are, however, capable of utilizing Banana Peels in the [[mariowiki:Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' games]] in which they appear; in ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Kart: Double Dash!!}}'', the two also utilized Giant Banana Peels as their special items, and in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Kart}}'', banana peels were featured as an item exclusively used by CPUs when controlling Diddy's predecessor, Donkey Kong Jr.

|
| The move itself may also be inspired by [[Koopa Troopa]]'s trophy celebration cutscene in ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Power Tennis}}'', where Diddy Kong himself drops a banana peel after eating the banana itself, and the Koopa Troopa falls over after stepping on the peel itself.
