Banandium Gems are banana-shaped diamonds that appear in Donkey Kong Bananza, acting as the main collectable similar to the Power Stars in the Super Mario games.
Unlike most traditional platformers, these items cannot be collected simply by contact. In this case, the player must destroy the Banandium Gem to obtain it.
Background[]
Banandium Gems are found in the underground worlds in Donkey Kong Bananza, which are highly treasured by Donkey Kong. They have a shiny glow with a gem for its stem. Once shattered, Donkey Kong eats them right away, implying they are edible. They were stolen by the VoidCo and taken deeper into the underground world.
There are also a 3-bunch variant found after defeating a major enemy or unlocking a path forward.
