In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form the crust. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to allow the crust to set.
In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled crust.
Layer the sliced bananas evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Spread the drained crushed pineapple over the banana layer.
Gently spread the whipped topping over the pineapple layer, ensuring an even coating.
Sprinkle the chopped walnuts or pecans evenly over the whipped topping.
Drizzle the chocolate syrup over the top in a decorative pattern.
Garnish with maraschino cherry halves, placing them evenly across the surface.
Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the layers to set.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
