Banana Medal

Banana Medal's artwork from Donkey Kong 64.

Banana Medals are special collectible items in Donkey Kong 64. They are collected by getting 75 bananas of one color by a playable Kong in each level. There are a total of 40 in the game, 8 for each of the five Kongs, and 5 for each level.

If the player collects 15 Banana Medals and visits Cranky's Lab, Cranky Kong will allow the player to play Jetpac, Rareware's first game, on his computer. By scoring at least 5,000 points within the game, the player earns the Rareware Coin, which is needed to open the final door in the level Hideout Helm.

Trivia

• The minimum mandatory amount of Banana Medals is 15, however, by employing the use of glitches, it is possible to get the last Boss Key without any.^{[citation needed]}
