Banana Kong, originally known as Gala the Gorilla or simply Gala, is a gorilla created by Taiwanese indie video game development studio "Mikoishi". He first appeared in "Dropcast", a 2007 video game for Nintendo DS published by THQ and based on the classic video game "Tetris" created by Alexey Pajitnov. THQ later published the games "Dropcast 2" and "Gala the Gorilla" which also feature him and are developed by Mikoishi. After THQ filed for bankruptcy in January 2013, Taiwanese video game publisher Gamania Inc. acquired the Dropcast series and Gala was renamed to Banana Kong. The mobile game "Banana Kong" was published by Gamania in October 2013 for iOS, but Banana Kong itself is currently owned by German video game publisher FDG Entertainment GmbH. Banana Kong, formerly known as Gala the Gorilla, is based on Donkey Kong (Rare version).
