King Banana

The King Banana is a permanent item which appears in the Challenge Mode for Mario Superstar Baseball. It allows Donkey Kong to use his Star Skill, Banana Ball, in the mode. It can be bought from the item shop for 200 coins if either Donkey Kong is the team captain or if he is on the player's team.

As shown from its icon, the King Banana has the appearance of a large banana with a crown placed on it.
