Bananas in a game? You got that ripe! – News

Say yellow to our color-changing (and sometimes precarious) friend: the banana.

You may be asking, “Why do you want to talk about bananas?” First, we love these tubes of deliciousness. Second, have you noticed the importance of bananas in some games?

From throwin’ to growin’, in this bunch of games, bananas are puddin’ in the work!

In the Mario Strikers™: Battle League game, you can put best foot forward in Strike, a different kind of soccer that includes battles and fast-paced chaos!

AiAi and the bunch are in a race to stop the mad scientist Dr. Bad-Boon from blowing up Jungle Island.

Armed with hand-me-down tools and a few coins, you can raise animals, go fishing, craft items, and tend crops as you make the farm of your dreams.

Gather a crew of 4-15 locally** or online to prepare your spaceship for departure. But beware: one or more random players among the Crew are imposters looking to sabotaging the mission.
