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

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

Gameplay

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.
