Banana Bay is a community-made rotationally symmetrical Payload Race map set in a tropical environment. The Payload is rotated around the map until it reaches its destination, in which it doesn't result in a victory until it's run over by the train, akin to Cactus Canyon.
Banana Bay was made an official map during the Jungle Inferno Update.
A portion of the money made from the sales of the Jungle Inferno Campaign Pass goes to the authors of the map.
