"''“Take a look inside your banana cave. You’re in for a big surprise!” Cranky cackled.''"</ref> directly below [[DK's Tree House]]. The Banana Hoard first appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', and makes several of its appearances within the [[Donkey Kong Country (series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' series]]. The Banana Hoard is desirable to various villain groups, usually the [[Kremling Krew]], whose motives for stealing it have been mostly unclear (although it is suggested to be because of their potassium and Vitamin A),<ref>''Donkey Kong Country'' instruction booklet, page 4 - "'''''IT WAS A DARK AND STORMY NITE...:''' They coveted Donkey Kong's banana stockpile, the largest on the island, and probably in the world. A treasure in potassium and Vitamin A.''"</ref> but it has sometimes been stolen by other villain groups, such as the [[Tiki Tak Tribe]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', who used the pulp of the bananas as a source to create an army of [[Tiki]]s.
==History==
===''Donkey Kong'' franchise===
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', the hoard was being protected by [[Diddy Kong]] during a stormy night.<ref>'''<u>Donkey Kong</u>:''' ''Ok, little buddy, as part of your hero training, you've got to stand guard tonight over my bananas... I'll relieve you at midnight, so try and stay awake until then!'' - ''Donkey Kong Country'' (GBA)</ref> But it was easily stolen by the [[Kremling Krew]] due to Diddy's weakness.<ref>'''<u>Donkey Kong</u>:''' ''My bananas and my buddy, Diddy, they are gone! The Kremlings will pay! I'll hunt them down through every corner off my island, until I have every last banana from my hoard back!'' - ''Donkey Kong Country'' (GBA)</ref> The portions of bananas from hoard were spread across 6 locations to be guarded by Kremling Krew mercenaries in [[Kong Island]].<ref>''Donkey Kong Country'' Player's Guide, Nintendo, 1994, p. 38 - "'''''VERY GNAWTY'S LAIR:''' King K. Rool has appointed some tough customers to guard portions of Donkey Kong's hoard while he figures out what to do with all of the bananas.''"</ref><ref>''Donkey Kong Country'' Player's Guide, Nintendo, 1994, p. 13 - "'''''THE BADDIES:''' All baddies on the island are under King K. Rool's control. It was the Kremlings that stole Donkey Kong's banana hoard, but it's the combined efforts of baddies that are trying to stave off Donkey Kong's attempt to recover the bananas.''"</ref> For defeating [[K. Rool]] and his minions, all bananas from hoard were completely recovered by DK & Diddy.
 
In ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'', the hoard was a test target of [[Cranky Kong]] which he hires the Kremling Krew to stole again until they are recovered again.<ref>"'''<u>Cranky Kong</u>:''' ''I'll call old K. Rool and arrange everything. You'll wake up tomorow without your bananas.''" - ''Donkey Kong Land'' Instruction Booklet, Nintendo, 1995, p. 3</ref>
 
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''/''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', the banana hoard became an extortion item by K. Rool in exchange for Donkey Kong's return.<ref>"'''<u>K. Rool</u>:''' ''Hah-arrrrh! We have got the big monkey! If you want him back, you scurvy dogs, you have to hand over the banana hoard!''" - ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' (GBA)</ref><ref>''Donkey Kong Land 2'' Instruction Booklet, Nintendo, 1996, p. 2 - "'''''INTRODUCTION:''' King K. Rool and his band of Kremlings apenapped Donkey Kong. They're demanding the Kongs to hand over the banana hoard for Donkey's safe return. Donkey Kong would have a fit if they lost the banana hoard again. So it's up to diddy and Dixie Kong to save him. Help the two monkeys make their way through all the Kremlings and all the traps to find Donkey Kong.''"</ref> But extortion was refused by Diddy due to hard work of recovering them by DK.<ref>"'''<u>Diddy Kong</u>:''' ''After all we did to get them back last time? DK would go crazy if he lost his hoard again!''" - ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' (GBA)</ref>
