Donkey Konga: What on EARTH...

…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?

It’s a sex thing.

I really don’t feel comfortable saying more.
If you didn’t know, why are you buying that kind of game? :confused:

NEVER MIND!! I don’t wanna know! :eek:

:smiley: :stuck_out_tongue:

They’re Banana Birds (creepy, aren’t they?), from one of the Donkey Kong Country games on the SNES (I think they’re from the third; maybe the second, but defintiely not the first). You had to collect them or something and bring them to the Big Banana Bird and then… I don’t know. You got an extra 1% completion or somthing. They don’t serve any purpose in Donkey Konga, near as I can tell. I haven’t paid enough attention to notice if they propagate like that normally or if it’s due to good performance or what.
