The '''Banana Peel''' ({{ja|バナナのかわ|Banana no Kawa}}, ''Banana Peel'') is an [[item]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. In ''Ultimate'', in addition to Banana Peels appearing on their own, users will be left holding one after firing a [[Banana Gun]].
The '''Banana Peel''' ({{ja|バナナのかわ|Banana no Kawa}}, ''Banana Peel'') is an [[item]] from the {{uv|Mario}} series.


==Origin==
==Origin==
The Banana Peel made its debut in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' and has become a recurring item in the ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Kart|series}}''. It is a yellow banana peel with simple eyes and a smile. It can placed on the race courses as hazards which can cause a {{s|mariowiki|kart}} to slip and spin around for a short time. It serves as serves as the logo for the {{s|mariowiki|Banana Cup}}.


The Banana Peel appears as an item in the ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Kart|series}}'' series starting with the original ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'': it can be placed on the course as hazards, and if a {{s|mariowiki|kart}} touches one it slips and spins around for a short time. The item serves as the logo of the {{s|mariowiki|Banana Cup}} since ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Kart DS}}''. In ''Smash'', Banana Peels use a realistic design, as opposed to the cartoonish design with a face used in ''Mario Kart'', and additionally can't cause the one who placed them to slip.
Slipping on banana peels is a [[wikipedia:Banana peel#In comical context|classic slapstick gag]], tracing its origins back to 19th century America. The slipperiness of banana peels comes from vegetable oils contained within the peel, which are released as the peel is pressed, a more common example being when someone steps on it.

==Overview==
==Overview==
The Banana Peel can be thrown like any other regular item, and when a character other than its thrower steps on it they [[Prat Falling|slip]] and are temporarily stunned. The banana itself flies a short distance sideways, just far enough that if the slipper [[Floor Recovery|rolls]] the wrong way, they will slip again. [[Diddy Kong]]'s [[down special move]] generates Banana Peels even with items turned off, which is an important strategy in tournaments because it often disrupts an opponent's ground game, forcing them into the air. Banana Peels can also make opponents trip if their feet or shins touch a stationary banana during an attack on a platform above them.


Banana Peels retain the same functionality in ''SSB4'', with one critical difference - as soon as any character slips on them, they disappear, so they cannot be used more than once. This change did not exist in early versions of ''SSB4''.

In ''Ultimate'', Banana Peels no longer disappear upon contact with an opponent. Instead, they will last for two slips and/or throws until they disappear. Additionally, Banana Peels now have [[transcendent priority]].
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Banana Peels no longer disappear upon contact with an opponent. Instead, they will last for two slips and/or throws until they disappear. Additionally, they now have [[transcendent priority]]. Also, Banana Peels are created when the fighter uses a [[Banana Gun]] which shoots an explosive banana projectile, leaving the player to hold the peel.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
The Banana Peel retains its characteristics from ''Smash 4'', and can now appear either by itself or as part of the [[Banana Gun]] item. It does not appear as a Spirit, nor can any Spirits start a battle holding one. After shooting the banana gun, it gains all mechanics from the normal Banana Peel item, and can be thrown.
