Diddy's Banana Blast is a boss minigame in Mario Party 9. It and DK's Banana Bonus both serve as the boss minigames of DK's Jungle Ruins.
Opening[]
Diddy starts to cheer on top of a temple. The characters are then each launched from a different Barrel Cannon, and the bananas fly in.
Gameplay[]
Diddy's Banana Blast is similar to DK's Banana Bonus as both involve each player's character having to collect bananas, effectively making them more of a bonus minigame than a boss minigame.
The characters have twenty seconds to collect as many bananas as possible, although the minigame can end prematurely if they collect every banana beforehand. Just as in DK's Banana Bonus, the bananas can be collected by blasting at them from Barrel Cannons, but unlike DK's Banana Bonus, the Barrel Cannons are arranged in a circular formation. If two characters bump into each other, they become temporarily dazed and fall into one of the lower Barrel Cannons.
