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. | Bananas are collectibles from the ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong Country}}'' games.

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. | ||
