#4 Donkey Kong Country
Super Nintendo: 1994
If Mario Kart is all about bananas, why, Donkey Kong Country is all about the banana hoard. (For the horde!)
Yep, this is, in fact, an entire game about replenishing your once-endless supply of bananas. Pretty weird. (Furthermore, recovering a hundred bananas yields an extra life. Aha! Now we're talkin'.)
