Giant Banana

A Giant Banana Peel

Giant Bananas are larger variants of regular Bananas that occasionally appear as items.

Game Appearances[]

Mario Kart series[]

In Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, it is a special item that Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, (and Petey Piranha and King Boo, due to their ability to have any special item) can obtain in Double Dash. Once a driver makes contact with the Giant Banana Peel, it not only makes the driver spin out for a longer duration for a regular Banana, but it also leaves behind three regular Bananas on the ground. The Giant Banana is resistant to most items, but it can be destroyed with a Bob-omb, Chain Chomp, Yoshi Egg and Bowser Shell, though the Bowser Shell will get deflected. It can also be picked up by running into it while using the Heart.

Koopa Kart series[]

Koopa Kart: Double Trouble!![]

The Giant Banana is Sumo Kong and Koopa Kid's Special Item in Koopa Kart: Double Trouble!!. It can be obtained from 1st to 4th place. When placed, the Giant Banana will block every item except for Blue Spiny Shells and Lightning. Once a player or an item hits it, it will split into three smaller Bananas.

The Giant Banana returns in Koopa Kart Tour as Sumo Kong's Special Item. It serves the same purpose as before and is obtainable from 1st to 4th place.
