Tally Me Banana is a Donkey Kong minigame in Mario Party 6. Its name is taken from a line in "Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)" by Harry Belafonte. This minigame appears to take place in a tropical area of some kind. The Blooper from the minigame Blooper Scooper can be seen in the top left corner of the screen.

Introduction[edit]

The introduction shows Donkey Kong jumping on a barrel and collecting a banana.

Gameplay[edit]

Players jump on the barrels scattered throughout the pool to collect as many bananas as possible. If the player misses a barrel and lands in the water, they are out for the remainder of the game. Most barrels contain a single banana, though some contain Banana Bunches, which give the player five bananas. Players can jump on opponents who have fallen into the water to reach more barrels.

Controls[edit]

  • Control Stick – Move
  • A Button – Jump

In-game text[edit]

  • Rules"Jump from barrel to barrel without falling into the water to grab the most bananas!"
  • Advice 1"Barrels break as soon as you land on them. Bounce immediately to the next barrel to avoid falling in!"
  • Advice 2"Use opponents that have fallen into the water as stepping stones to reach more barrels."
