It’s part of a Dole collaboration that was added in last night’s update for Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble.
As the author of the Dole banana mod for Banana Mania on PC, I’m beyond excited about this.

I’m guessing it’s nostalgia. The bananas in the original game had stickers on them, but the newer games didn’t. There are a lot of people who love the old SMB games and are happy when anything is done to make the new ones like the old ones.
I don’t get being so excited about it, but these games weren’t a core part of my childhood. I played the party games in SMB 1 once and those were fun, but I don’t think I ever actually played the main game.
Ah, makes sense, thanks for the context
