…are the banana chickens for?
In single player mode (“street performance”) you have to attempt to play a single line of rhythm as perfectly as you can. Donkey Kong is at the top of the screen banging on the drums with you; Diddy Kong is below dancing with one or two banana chickens. These are chickens with elongated, yellow, curved bodies. If you stuffed a rubber chicken with a boomerang, and deliberately tried to make it look like a banana, you’d be close. As the song progresses, the chickens multiply, until you’ve got a giant flock (bunch? flunch? bock?) of banana chickens swarming around the bottom of the screen.
Are they good? Bad? What makes them come out, and do I want more of them or fewer?
