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.
ads targeting the younger generation of gamers that doesn't know what they have done?
Yay capitalism!

I'm confused, why is turning bananas into ads exciting? I don't get the value added for anyone other than Dole?
The same reason I hope CalorieMate stays in MGS 3 Delta, it was in the original and became a part of the identity of the game. Not having it would feel weird.
Kinda like when something gets remade and is nearly completely different from the original. All the right names and pieces are there, but its off and doesn't feel right. 2010 Nightmare on Elm Street stuff.
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
Promoting companies that hire literal death squads. Awesome.
Wait until you find out that the list of people and groups that have NOT done terrible things to other people is so small that there might be only one group or person on it, if at all.
There's a bit of a difference between doing some unethical stuff, and orchestrating multiple coup of democratic governments to be replaced with authoritarian dictatorships, or hiring an international death squad to assassinate troublesome workers who want to get paid, and of course let us not forget undermining our own democracy!
I stand firm with my local chip truck.
Promoting a company that lead the overthrow of the Hawaiian Monarchy and thus partial destruction of their culture and way of life
