Cranky Kong: Difference between revisions

==History==

In ''Donkey Kong'', Cranky was the pet Mario taken from his island who escapes the cage and captures [[Pauline]] in a construction site.<ref>Chris Kohler. How Japanese Video Games Gave the World an Extra Life, 2005, pg. 39</ref> He tries to attack Mario with barrels and other obstacles, but is completely defeated by Mario when he removes all the screws that held the beams and falls to the ground.

In ''[[Donkey Kong (Gameboy)|Donkey Kong '94]]'' as villain for the last time, Cranky repeats the same stunt in kidnapping Pauline at the construction site. Defeated as in the first, this time Cranky doesn't give up, fleeing with Pauline to other places even in the [[DK Isles]]. In the battles he appears in, Cranky tries to attack Mario (who is now a plumber) with rubble when he makes an earthquake, throwing enemies, throwing things, and activating traps until he escapes. In battles, Cranky throws barrels and enemies at Mario until he is defeated when he is hit by them. Once in the [[Jungle (Donkey Kong)|jungle]] to his [[Tower]], he is helped by his son Donkey Kong Jr. to hinder Mario's progress.<ref>''Donkey Kong '94'' Instruction Booklet, Nintendo, 1994, p. 2 - '''''HE'S BACK:''' Hunt down Donkey Kong as he escape from the Big-City, traveling on the Ship, though the Jungle, the Desert, Rocky Mountain and on to his home.''"</ref> In the final battle as a giant, Cranky tries to attack Mario with his bare hands and knocks over the rubble until he is finally defeated for the last time when he is hit with barrels several times and knocked off his tower.

In ''Donkey Kong Country'', Cranky lives in his [[Cranky's Cabin|cabin]] where he gives randomly selected advice on the various items and locations in game to his grandson DK and his great-grandnephew [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]]. When his grandson retrieved the [[Banana Hoard]] and drove out the [[Kremling]]s, Cranky was impressed by his grandson's ability.

In ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', Cranky was the last to be found by DK on [[Canopy Chaos]] when he and other Kongs were driven off from own island by the [[Snowmad]]s during the DK's birthday party. He jump with his cane, uses his Denture Popgun when he's separated, enemies are turned into Banana Coins using '''Kong POW''' along with DK and has his own barrel with the initials '''''CK'''''. After [[Lord Fredrik]]'s expulsion, Cranky joined the victory band in which he plays a electric bass.

In ''[[Donkey Konga]]'', Cranky appears as dancer on '''Challenge''' and '''Jam Session'''. In ''[[Donkey Konga 2]]'', Cranky appears on '''Battle''' as judge. In ''[[Donkey Kong 3]]'', Cranky appears as playable character.
