About this game

Banana takes place in Banana Land, a world populated by anthropomorphic moles. After an earthquake traps Mr. Mole’s wife and son underground, players guide him through underground areas to collect food, rescue family members, and reach each stage’s exit.

The game includes 105 stages and a custom stage design mode. There is no traditional death state, but an error can make a stage impossible to complete; players can restart by pressing A and B simultaneously.
