It’s part of a Dole collaboration that was added in last night’s update for Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble.

As the author of the Dole banana mod for Banana Mania on PC, I’m beyond excited about this.

I'm confused, why is turning bananas into ads exciting? I don't get the value added for anyone other than Dole?

I'm guessing it's nostalgia. The bananas in the original game had stickers on them, but the newer games didn't. There are a lot of people who love the old SMB games and are happy when anything is done to make the new ones like the old ones.

I don't get being so excited about it, but these games weren't a core part of my childhood. I played the party games in SMB 1 once and those were fun, but I don't think I ever actually played the main game.

Ah, makes sense, thanks for the context
