Triple Bananas reappear in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. When used, three Bananas are deployed to trail behind the player's kart. The player may throw each Banana one-by-one whenever as they please, and can also use the Bananas to block incoming items. Triple Bananas appear only in the top three positions in Grand Prix and VS modes, usually with slightly smaller probabilities than [[Fake Item Box]]es; in Battle Mode, they are usable only by human players, and usually appear when the player ranks near the middle.

Triple Bananas return in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', behaving exactly the same as in ''Mario Kart DS''. They appear only in the top four positions for human players and top three for CPUs in Grand Prix and VS modes; Battle Mode probabilities are stable for CPUs, but do not appear for poorly-performing human players.

They appear only in the top four positions for human players and top three for CPUs in Grand Prix and VS modes; Battle Mode probabilities are stable for CPUs, but do not appear for poorly-performing human players. The best chances of getting this item are in 1st and 2nd place, with a 12.5 percent (5 out of 40) chance of getting it in said positions. If the player currently has a Triple Banana, they are unable to obtain a [[Triple Green Shells|Triple Green Shell]] or [[Triple Red Shells|Triple Red Shell]] and vice versa.

====''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''====
Triple Bananas return in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. This time, when deployed, the Bananas orbit the player's kart rather than trailing behind it, though everything else functions the same. In Grand Prix and VS modes, all players may obtain Triple Bananas 1000-2000 units from the frontrunner; in Battle Mode, they can only be obtained when the player has only one balloon left one minute into the game.

====''Mario Kart Tour''====
Triple Bananas were originally [[Larry Koopa]] and [[Lemmy Koopa]]'s [[Special Item (Mario Kart series)|special item]] in the [[List of Mario Kart Tour pre-release and unused content|beta testing]] to ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', but they now have the [[Boomerang Flower]] and the [[Bubble]] respectively in the final release of the game. Triple Bananas are currently the only special item from the beta test that have not yet been carried over to the final game; it is unknown if they will eventually be added to the final game.
Triple Bananas reappear in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' as the [[Special Skill|special skill]] of [[Shy Guy|Yellow Shy Guy]], [[Princess Daisy|Daisy (Swimwear)]], [[Luigi|Luigi (Chef)]], [[Waluigi|Waluigi (Bus Driver)]], [[Dixie Kong]], [[Donkey Kong Jr.|Donkey Kong Jr. (SNES)]], and the [[Mii|Pastry, Chef, Pokey, Daisy, and Orange Mii Racing Suits]]. When used, they are dropped all at once. In the [[List of Mario Kart Tour pre-release and unused content|closed beta]], it was also the special item of [[Lemmy Koopa|Lemmy]] and [[Larry Koopa|Larry]]. When Triple Bananas+ is used, the chance of obtaining Triple Bananas is increased and the Bananas spin around the kart faster.
