Dole-related entities

Dole-related entities are objects in the which carry the logo for the company Dole. Dole is a multinational food corporation, known among other things for producing bananas and pineapples. Due to their connection with bananas, a collaboration existed between Dole and the Super Monkey Ball series, and thus their logo appears frequently in Monkey Ball, Super Monkey Ball and Super Monkey Ball 2, especially the former two.
Since Super Monkey Ball Deluxe, Dole-related entities no longer appear in the series, and all instances were removed from the game.
==Appearances==
In Monkey Ball, Super Monkey Ball and Super Monkey Ball 2, all bananas in the game are labeled with the Dole logo. It also appears in various locations in the former two games, but not in the latter, as the logo only appears on bananas and nowhere else in that game.
The Dole logo appears in the following places:
*On a pineapple-shaped balloon in the intro movie of both Monkey Ball and Super Monkey Ball.
*On a submarine in the background of Underwater.
*On a satellite in the background of Space.
*On the squares on the Beginner floor Blocks.
*On the squares on the Master floor Dance Master.
*On the door to the temple on Banana Island in the ending cutscene of Super Monkey Ball.
*On the glass screen in front of the goal on the name entry roulette stage.
*On top of the ramp in Monkey Target.
==Chiquita==
Similarly to the Dole product placement in earlier Super Monkey Ball games, Super Monkey Ball: Step & Roll contains product placement for banana distributor Chiquita. While not present on all bananas in the game, a Chiquita sticker can be seen on the bananas during the mini cutscenes involving Jam, which play after the instructions screen. This is likely due to a temporary partnership with them, with Chiquita hosting a sweepstake where a family could win a copy of the game, along with a TV, a Nintendo Wii, and a Wii Balance Board.
==Trivia==
*The Dole sticker was absent in the demo version of Super Monkey Ball 2, which meant that the partnership with Dole was renewed sometime between the demo and the full release.
