How many times have people heard “oh banana” and “dong dong donkey Kong” the game sold 2.3 million copies. there are 200 golden bananas, so 200 times 2.3 million is give or take half a trillion times each that people have heard the recording “oh banana” and “dong dong Donkey Kong”. Some players wouldn’t have finished the game and a few golden bananas don’t have the “oh banana” voice line, but other players played through the game more than once, plus people bought the Wii Virtual Console version, and people pirated it to play on emulators and flash carts. So the true number of times could be in the trillions, which would make Donkey Kong 64 one of the most significant cultural works of our era.
