The Banana Peel (バナナのかわ　banana no kawa) is an item in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It acts vaguely like a Motion-Sensor Bomb, although its purpose is to stun rather than damage and knockback. It can be thrown like any other regular item, and when someone else steps on it, they fall over and are temporarily stunned. The banana itself flies a short distance sideways, just far enough that if the slipper rolls the wrong way, they will slip again. Diddy Kong's Down Special Move also generates Banana Peels, which is an important strategy in tournaments because it often disrupts an opponent's ground game, forcing them into the air.

Trophy Info

The peel from a Japanese fiber banana of the Musaceae plant family. It contains a high volume of vegetable oil, which oozes out when the peel is stepped on, making things slippery. In Smash Bros., the peel fulfills its destiny as a comedic prop by making passersby slip. Characters who land on their backsides will be defenseless until they recover their footing.

• Super Mario Kart (1992)
• Mario Kart 64 (1997)

Sticker Info

The banana peel also appears as a sticker in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, under the simple name banana. When used in the Subspace Emissary it adds +4 to Flame Attacks.

Trivia

• Even though they appear as an item in the Mario Kart series (and are listed on the trophy as originating fom such), when used on Mario Circuit it has no effect on the Shy Guys.
• Unlike Banana Peels in the Mario Kart series, these peels do not have smiley faces (or any sort of face at all).
• The bannana peel is one of a few items that can't be removed. Even if it's removed, Diddy Kong can still make them.

The other items can be generated by Peach and King Dedede, but the chances of that are slim.
