Top 5 Video Game Bananas

Top 5 Video Game Bananas

A few times I've been around that track
So I'm not just gonna slip off-course like that
Because I ain't no Mario Kart girl
I ain't no Mario Kart girl
This ish is bananas! B! A, N, A, N, A, S!

According to Wikipedia, people have been slipping on banana peels since 1910. Science-reality show MythBusters insists it's nigh-impossible to slip and fall on a banana peel; meanwhile, a woman in California claims she most certainly can, and did.

If video games are taken as fact, overripe bananas are enough either to disable a character or to power him all the way through next Sunday. And so, with no further ado (or Gwen Stefani lyrics), here are the Top 5 Video Game Bananas.

Note: Why, yes, Jenn Frank did recently write a top ten list about video game food, but that piece scrupulously omitted bananas. Enjoy!
