Z-Bananas (also called Z Bananas or --for singular-- Z-Banana/Z Banana) are an item in Mario Party 9.
Description[]
Exclusively appearing in the DK's Jungle Ruins board, Z-Bananas are the equivalent of Mini Ztars in other boards. That is, just as Bananas are to Mini Stars. So each Z-Banana collects costs the character a banana. Mini Ztars (along with Mini Stars) do not occur on the said board. They are replaced by Z-Bananas and Bananas (the good counterpart to Z-Bananas). However, both they (Z-Bananas) and Bananas have a similar function as Mini Stars and Mini Ztars. Z-Bananas are dark purple bananas that emit a light purple glow. Like bananas, Z-Bananas appear singularly or in bunches across the board.
