Bananose is similar to Babblong. He has yellow skin with brown spots on his nose and neck with a cream stomach. He has brown feather-like hair and black eyes. He is wearing a green kimono around his waist with a saggy light blue collar and a thin orange obi. He is wearing brown zori with orange straps.
Unlike Babblong, Bananose is significantly more concise in his speech.
Profile[]
A single Bananose appears in the games, fulfilling the same role as the other Babblongs by providing the player with in-game tips. Unlike Babblong, Bananose's explanation is short and to-the-point and remarks that it's "just a banana" when it sees that the player was expecting a longer conversation.
Bananose makes his debut in EX013. He turns Nate’s bananas black quicker than usual which makes him suspicious. He is then discovered but before he could say anything, Nate summons Jibanyan and he beats him up. After getting beat up he explains that he turns them black to bring them to their most delicious state. He bewilders Nate, Whisper, and Jibanyan with some banana facts and then tells them how to get a banana in its most delicious state. After hearing this information Nate goes up for the challenge to get the banana in its most delicious state and does everything he can to protect the banana. It finally ripens and gets in its most delicious state. Nate launches it into the air to eat it but then the banana crosses the Dark Black Banana Line. The revolting banana lands on the faces of Nate, Whisper, and Jibanyan. Bananose then tells them to start over and walks out, leaving his keystone on the floor.
