Basic Gameplay Advice

Move Mr. Nanners at the right time to avoid various obstacles. These include cars and various road blocks. You cannot jump over cars; to avoid them, you must move left or right toward an open part of the road. Road blocks come in two types. Long road blocks can either be jumped over or slid under, while shorter ones can only be jumped over.

Collect as many banana balls as you possibly can. To pick up a banana ball, simply walk past it. The banana balls serve as your score and act as in-game currency. Spend your banana balls on new items Mr. Nanners can ride to increase his speed.

Collect 10 Mrs. Nanners to get an invincibility shield. This will allow Mr. Nanners to bust through all obstacles (including cars) without losing any lives for a few seconds.

You start each session with 3 lives. Each time Mr. Nanners hits something, you lose a life. After losing a life, Mr. Nanners remains invincible for a time. Be careful, as this can cause you to lose another life too soon if he hits something after it wears off.

Advanced Playing Tips & Strategy

Time your jumps or slides carefully. You need to jump or slide long enough to move past the barrier without hitting it on the way up. This is especially important when you’re dealing with barriers that are closer together. You’ll need to jump or slide in rapid succession to successfully clear them.

Collect as many Mrs. Nanners as possible to gain the invincibility bonus. While the bonus is active, take advantage of it to collect even more of Mrs. Nanners to make activating the bonus attainable faster.
