At the start of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', [[Diddy Kong]] is posted to guard the banana hoard during the night. [[King K. Rool]] sends his minions to steal the banana hoard for their nutritional value,<ref>''Donkey Kong Country'' instruction booklet, page 4. "''The Kremlings were out there, this much was certain. They coveted Donkey Kong’s banana stockpile, the largest on the island, and probably in the world. A treasure in potassium and Vitamin A. The perfect food. “Ahhh... delicious bananas...” The thought of DK’s golden horde almost made Diddy forget his uncomfortable situation.''"</ref> and they also trap Diddy in a barrel. The next morning, [[Cranky Kong]] reveals to Donkey Kong that his banana hoard has been stolen. As a result, Donkey Kong goes out on an adventure to recover his stolen bananas, with Diddy joining him along the way. While described in the manuals of the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] and [[Game Boy Color]] versions, a condensed version of this incident is shown in the in-game introduction of the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake. | |||

Every boss level, except [[Gang-Plank Galleon]], takes place between a series of bananas, which seem to be the same as the ones stolen from the banana hoard.<ref name=horde/> The banana hoard is empty throughout the Kongs' adventure and does not grow in size until after the Kongs defeat [[King K. Rool]]. By doing so, Cranky tells the Kongs to check their banana hoard, saying they will be "in for a big surprise". Afterward, the Kongs check their hoard to find that all of their bananas are successfully recovered. In response, the Kongs do their Bonus Level victory animation. The banana supply remains in the banana hoard, even when the Kongs resume their adventure. | |||

Similar to ''Donkey Kong Land'', the banana hoard itself is absent from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', but it retains a significant role in the story. After K. Rool's defeat in the first game, he decides to kidnap Donkey Kong and hold him for ransom, demanding the banana hoard in exchange for Donkey Kong's safe return. Diddy refuses doing so because he and Donkey Kong have worked hard to recover it in their previous adventure.

The banana hoard returns in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]''. In the opening sequence, [[Tiki]]s hypnotize the animals of [[Donkey Kong Island]] to steal them.

During the seventh boss fight against [[Colonel Pluck]] and his Stompybot 3000, it is revealed that the bananas are used to reproduce the Tiki Tak Tribe. The bananas are also used to transform seven high-ranked tikis into the two giant hands of the main antagonist [[Tiki Tong]]. After defeating him, the [[Volcano]] erupts bananas, presumably the same ones from the banana hoard. Several of them even hit into a statue, activating the path to the [[Golden Temple]]. | During the seventh boss fight against [[Colonel Pluck]] and his [[Stompybot 3000]], it is revealed that the bananas are used to reproduce the Tiki Tak Tribe.

In the ''[[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' adaptation of ''[[Donkey Kong Country (comic)|Donkey Kong Country]]'', Diddy is seen guarding the banana hoard like in the game. However, he appears to be unhappy about it and is guarding it in the rain. | |||
===''Donkey Kong Country'' television series=== | |||
{{rewrite-expand|section=y|reason=specify which episodes in which it appears}} | |||
The banana hoard appears in the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' animated series. Unlike in the games, it is a banana plantation that occupies a sprawling field close to Donkey Kong's house, and acts as one of his preferred hangout spots in episodes such as "[[Bad Hair Day]]" or "[[Buried Treasure (episode)|Buried Treasure]]". One notable difference from the games is that the banana hoard is not as important as it is in the games as King K. Rool hardly spares it a thought, and is far more interested in stealing the [[Crystal Coconut]]. | |||

The banana hoard | The banana hoard once again appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''{{'}}s story mode, the [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Subspace Emissary|Subspace Emissary]]. [[Bowser]] sends out a [[Hammer Bro]] and a [[Goomba]] to steal the bananas. An enraged Donkey Kong chases after them, but when he finally gets out of [[The Jungle]], they are driving too fast and are too far from him. The Goomba notices DK and jumps to two [[Bill Blaster]]s which fire three [[Bullet Bill]]s toward Donkey Kong. Diddy Kong then jumps out from the jungle and uses his [[Peanut Popgun]] to blast them out of the sky. They follow after the thieves and eventually reach the banana hoard, only to discover that they have walked into a trap. Bowser transforms Donkey Kong into a trophy while Diddy Kong is sent flying by his friend to safety. It is unknown what happened to the hoard afterwards. | ||
