Top Banana is a strange little game from the composer of Soft & Cuddly, released for the Archimedes in 1991, and ported to the Amiga, CDTV and Atari ST in 1992. The story is as follows: The planet is slowly dying from people harming the environment, and it's up to KT to save the day with The Power of Love, and gain the title of Top Banana as a result. The gameplay setup is similar to Rainbow Islands, 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 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 digitized photo of a man in a hat surrounded by dollar signs, a Humongous Mecha, a biker helmet with spider legs, and a multi-colored blobby Eldritch Abomination called the 'Sychesphere of Enlightenment'. The game has four stages: The Rain Forest, The Metal-City, The Temple, and The Mind-Scape. The game is notable for it's strange-looking graphics that make the game look corrupted, creepy sound effects, and overall extreme weirdness. | |

Poe's Law | |
| Top Banana (Video Game) / int_3950c1f0 | comment |
Poe's Law: It's unknown if the game's corrupted-looking graphics, creepy atmosphere and unnatural sound effects are intentionalnote Its spiritual predecessor Soft & Cuddly was very much intentionally creepy or not, due to the manual treating it as a completely normal cutesy platformer, as well as a lack of confirmation from the developers. | |

Hell Is That Noise | |
| Top Banana (Video Game) / int_61a503a7 | comment |
Hell Is That Noise: 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 the Cave of Winters theme. | |

| Top Banana (Video Game) / int_7315fd38 | comment |
Covers Always Lie: 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 Creepy Doll with no cap, and wearing a dress. The city in the background, though probably supposed to be the Metal City, also doesn’t resemble any level in the game. | |

Nothing Is Scarier: 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 The ending is a still image of a clown made of beads with no music for a couple of seconds. And then, maniacal laughter start playing. It then cuts to an ominous message of: Well Done Top Banana Please Type In Your Name. | |

Lighter and Softer: Compared to Soft & Cuddly, this game has much less gore and scares. The manual also treats it as a normal cutesy platformer. But then you actually start the game... and are greated with something extremely unsettling. | |
