- “Not only that, but you won't take any damage! It's called Going Bananas!”
- —Cranky Kong, DK: King of Swing
Going Bananas is a move in DK: King of Swing that is learned in Cranky's Lectures. This move can be activated by pressing the 
button when the player has twenty bananas. When activated, Donkey Kong becomes invincible, but only for a short amount of time. When in use, Going Bananas can help Donkey Kong break through multiple barrels at one time. It also makes Donkey Kong faster and quicker.
In DK: Jungle Climber, Donkey Kong can perform a very similar move if the player taps a Crystal Star on the bottom screen. The theme that plays is also similar to the Going Bananas theme.
