Banana Zone is a scheme centred around the use of high-powered Bananas and Super Bananas, with no other weapons provided. As these weapons are highly destructive, worms are killed quickly and a round lasts just a few minutes.
Contents
Description
In addition to unlimited Bananas and Super Bananas, the scheme provides a small selection of transport tools, also in unlimited quantity - the Ninja Rope, Jet Pack, and Teleport. Low Gravity and Blowtorch are also provided.
Players typically drop their bananas from the jetpack, using it to escape the subsequent blast.
There are no rules.
The scheme is not currently supported by HostingBuddy.

This variation doesn't have Super Bananas, just 5-star Bananas (instead of 1-star Bananas) and x2 ammo of Jet Pack (not infinite and with 5 turns of delay). It also has less turn time (13 instead of 20), less round time (5 instead of 15) and more crates, being possible to find some other weapons (not possible in Banana Zone), like 5-star Homing Pigeon, 5-star Homing Missile or Super Weapons, besides that, the health crates give 255 HP to worms (instead of 25 HP). The Stockpiling is enabled in this variation, being set as "crescent", so if you save weapons in a game, they will continue on the next one. Matches are usually best of 5, or best of 7 if in final/bronze match. The maps are usually custom ones (made by players), sometimes being .bit, sometimes .PNG, sometimes regular size, sometimes big maps.

This RubberWorm variant consists on using black hole gravity, and the only weapon available is infinite Super Banana (it's like playing Black Hole BnG, or Black Hole Fort only with this weapon). The map has an elliptical shape and the two players must place their worms on the red and blue start areas (left and right sides). It is a battle, so whoever survives, wins.

The original map was released along with the scheme on WMDB on 11th September 2015, by flapjack.
