History VideoGame / TopBanana

* NintendoHard: You can only take 5 hits before dying, and if you die, you have to start over from the beginning of the entire game, with no way to earn extra lives.

* HellIsThatNoise: For starters, the item pick-up sound effect is a low-pitched moan, KT's hit sound effect is a high-pitched screech, and the music sounds like an off-brand version of [[{{VideoGame/Earthbound}} the Cave of Winters theme]].

''Top Banana'' is a strange little game from the composer of ''VideoGame/SoftAndCuddly'', released for the Archimedes in 1991, and ported to the Amiga, CDTV and Atari ST in 1992. The story is as follows: [[GreenAesop The planet is slowly dying from people harming the environment]], and it's up to KT to save the day with ThePowerOfLove, and gain the title of ''[[TitleDrop Top Banana]]'' as a result. The gameplay setup is similar to ''VideoGame/RainbowIslands'', you start at the bottom of the level, and work your way to the top of it, shooting love hearts at enemies like bulldozers, chainsaws, and [[BreadEggsMilkSquick giant skulls]] to turn them into fruit, and kill the boss before the rising water catches up with you, though unlike ''Rainbow Islands'', the water does not kill you instantly, but instead damages you before retreating to the bottom of the level. Later levels also include traps that invert your controls, slow down time, and invert the game's color all at once. Bosses include a [[DigitizedSprites digitized photo]] of a man in a hat surrounded by dollar signs, a HumongousMecha, a biker helmet with spider legs, and a multi-colored blobby EldritchAbomination called the 'Sychesphere of Enlightenment'. The game has four stages: [[JungleJapes The Rain Forest]], [[EternalEngine The Metal-City]], [[TempleOfDoom The Temple]], and [[EldritchLocation The Mind-Scape]]. The game is notable for it's [[SensoryAbuse strange-looking graphics that make the game look corrupted]], [[NightmareFuel creepy sound effects]], and overal [[QuirkyWork extreme]] [[SurrealHorror weirdness]].

* NothingIsScarier: The message upon beating a level is a very ominous ''Beware Behave'', ''Recycle the Hype'', or ''Get Up Get Down'' accompanied by the music cutting out. Additionally[[spoiler: The ending is a still image of a clown made of beads with no music for a couple of seconds. And then, [[JumpScare maniacal laughter start playing]]. It then cuts to an ominous message of: ''Well Done Top Banana Please Type In Your Name'']]

* AWinnerIsYou: [[spoiler: Upon beating the game, all you get is an image of a clown made of beads. It then cuts to black as the same EvilLaugh that plays once you beat a level plays]].

* LaughingMad: The sound effect accompaning you beating a level, [[spoiler: and upon beating the game]] is a maniacal cackle.

* BlushStickers: KT has these in gameplay, but not in on the box art.

* CoversAlwaysLie: In the boxart, pictured above, KT looks like a cute chibi with a green cap and sports outfit, in the actual game, however, she looks more like a CreepyDoll with no cap, and wearing a dress.
