Banana Coins are the type of currency used in the Donkey Kong games. They are golden coins with a banana on them. These can be used to buy things (like Cranky's advices and Wrinkly's save points).

GamesEdit

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong QuestEdit

These items first appear in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. They are used for buying things from other Kongs like a quiz. They can also be used to get a rematch against a boss in the Game Boy Advance version.

Donkey Kong 64Edit

These items reappear in Donkey Kong 64, Banana Coins are used to buy certain items and upgrades such as Guns, new moves and abilities, and musical instruments. Special multicolored coins that were worth five regular coins can be found by using the shockwave attack on the soft dirt patches.

Diddy Kong PilotEdit

Banana Coins were to appear in the cancelled game, Diddy Kong Pilot as a part of the mode, Cranky's Challenge. Six of them must be collected and Cranky must lose in the race for the player to win the track in this mode.

DK: Jungle ClimberEdit

In DK: Jungle Climber, Banana Coins are found in each level and can be used to buy certain levels.

Donkey Kong Country ReturnsEdit

Banana Coins are found in every level in Donkey Kong Country Returns, in many ways. Some are hidden, some are gotten by defeating certain enemies and some are found by blowing on dandelions and other things that can be blown apart. They are very common, and there are several of them in each level.

The coins can be spent in Cranky's Shop for things like Extra Life Balloons, or for Squawks.
