#### 1. Make the Crust
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form an even crust. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
#### 2. Prepare the Cheesecake Layer
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in the whipped topping until well combined. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled crust.
#### 3. Add the Layers
- Arrange banana slices evenly over the cream cheese layer.
- Spread the drained crushed pineapple on top of the bananas.
- Sprinkle the diced strawberries over the pineapple layer.
#### 4. Top It Off
- Spread the remaining whipped topping evenly over the fruit layers.
- Drizzle with chocolate syrup and sprinkle with chopped nuts, if desired. Garnish with maraschino cherries.
#### 5. Chill and Serve
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow the layers to set.
- Slice into squares and serve cold.
