Theory: dks bananas have the ability to create life. This is very obviously showcased in the feathered fiend fight, where they fill the empty vessels of the games enemies and fill them with mashed bananas to bring them to life. Though this is never mentioned again, this may explain why k rool and the snowmads want dks bananas.

[@darkgenie3167]

its just bananers, kong protect bananers.

[@k-leb4671]

I'm not convinced they can create any life. I think the tikis are inherently linked with the bananas. I mean, the tikis seem to come from within the island itself. I think the bananas create guardians for the island in the form of the tikis, by combining specially carved instruments and mashed/liquified banana. Perhaps some wise old artisan created the first ones eons ago and they ended up laying dormant underneath the island. To the tikis, the Kongs are actually foreign invaders of the island that must be defended against. Or something like that, I don't know.
