Banana Kong is an endless running game for the iPhone and iPad that’s not new, but has lately become one of the most popular games around. This bizarre and silly ode to Donkey Kong puts you in the shoes of Banana Kong, an ape who is running away from an avalanche of banana peels, collecting bananas, and going from the jungle to special locations such as the underground cave, the treetops, and even underwater. Read on for some tips and tricks for Banana Kong!
As Banana Kong runs, his goal is to collect bananas, and with each banana that is collected, the power dash meter charges up. Save them up for new locations, but don’t save them for too long or else the banana avalanche will get you and cause you to lose. The best places to use them are in front of obstacles such as large rocks. Or use them in front of the pipe to go underwater, use them on the rope swing to go to the treetops, and use them in front of the cave entrance to go to the cave.
Collect power ups to maximize the distance you can go and the amount of bananas you can earn. The rainbow banana and the magnet are great for earning more bananas, while upgrading your gliding and unlocking all of the animals to ride is a great way to go farther (and by extension, collect more bananas as well).
When you are in the underground level, it’s easy to die since there are plenty more obstacles to run into, and the stalagmites are harder to see. However, if you fall into the lava without crashing into an object first, you’ll instead wind up right back in the jungle.
The best place to go an extremely long distance is underwater. Swim and try to avoid the fish and other sea critters, because they will slow you down and cause the alligator to chase you. However, if you hit them, you can still avoid the gator by swimming up and down rapidly.
The best way to get more bananas is to complete the missions as quickly as possible. However, with all of the unlocked animals, the rainbow banana and the magnet, you can actually get more bananas just by going longer distances and going to the bonus areas.
