[edit] Donkey Kong Country series

[edit] Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest

Wrinkly's debut appearance.
Wrinkly's debut appearance.

The first appearance of Wrinkly Kong was in the game Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. Here Wrinkly manages the Kong Kollege where Diddy and Dixie Kong can save their game progress. Wrinkly, like her husband Cranky Kong can also give the Kongs information on the various items and objects found throughout the game.

In the Game Boy Advance remake of Donkey Kong Country 2 Dixie and Diddy can also do a homework assignment for Wrinkly, called Wrinkly's Task. The purpose of Wrinkly's Task is to fill up a scrapbook, given to the Kongs by Wrinkly with pictures. For every page of the scrapbook filled up Wrinkly will give the Kongs a DK Coin.

Wrinkly next appeared in the Game Boy game, Donkey Kong Land 2. Here she once again gives hints to Diddy and Dixie, along with saving the Kongs progress.

[edit] Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!

In Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! Wrinkly makes a return appearance. In this game Wrinkly seems to have retired as a teacher at the Kong Kollege, she now runs Wrinkly's Save Cave. In the cave Dixie and Kiddy Kong can save their game, the cave is also where the various Banana Birds the Kongs collect are stored. When the Kongs enter to the cave they can find her either dancing, sleeping or playing videogames.

In the Game Boy Advance remake of Donkey Kong Country 3 Wrinkly's role is slightly lessened. Now Wrinkly serves no real purpose in the game except taking care of Banana Birds, which she seems to have become a spiritual follower of.

In Donkey Kong Land III Wrinkly's role remains relatively the same, she saves the Kong's progress. The only real difference between roles is that Wrinkly no longer cares for Banana Birds, which aren't in the game.

[edit] Club Nintendo

[edit] "Donkey Kong in: Banana Day 24"

Wrinkly is briefly seen in the Club Nintendo comic "Donkey Kong in: Banana Day 24", in which some Kongs, including Cranky, save Earth from being pulled away by aliens. When the saviors return, Cranky enthusiastically tries to kiss a random girl. At the end of the comic, Wrinkly is seen quarrelling with her husband, and it is heavily implied that this is due to his attempt at kissing the girl.

[edit] Donkey Kong 64

In Donkey Kong 64 it is revealed that she had passed away after the events of Donkey Kong Country 3. In Donkey Kong 64 Wrinkly now inhabits Wrinkly Doors which are found in the entrance of every area except Hideout Helm. If a Kong steps in front of a Wrinkly Door, as bone-chilling sounds of spirits are heard, Wrinkly will pop out. Using her supernatural powers, she'll give that Kong hints on what to do in the area that the Kong is in the entrance too. She often gives the Kongs half-truths and incomplete information.

In DK: King of Swing Wrinkly, still a ghost, aids her husband Cranky in teaching her son, Donkey Kong, in learning the unique controls of the game. She is the one that teaches Donkey how to climb the Pegs Boards, she also helps Cranky teach Donkey how to attack. Wrinkly is also an unlockable playable character in the game's Jungle Jam mode, where her partner is interestingly, a Kritter, she is unlocked by collecting all the Crystal Coconuts from all levels. In this game she has good jump and medium attack. In this game she was playable for first time.

[edit] DK: Jungle Climber

She returned in DK: Jungle Climber. She went on vacation to Sun Sun Island, along with all of the other Kongs. Wrinkly appears in the opening cutscene, where she is seen enjoying the scenery, alongside Cranky Kong. She carries a white umbrella for protection against the sun's rays. Although she has official artwork, this is the only time she appears in the entire game. This is similar to Candy Kong in the predecessor, DK: King of Swing. This was Wrinkly's first appearance on the DS.

[edit] Donkey Kong Barrel Blast

In Donkey Kong Barrel Blast, Wrinkly is a secret playable character, and is the only Kong that does not appear in the start screen. She is unlocked by playing in Candy's Challenge #26: Let Wrinkly Kong Win!, which has a Level 4 difficulty; as the name implies, Wrinkly must come in first in order to be unlocked. Wrinkly is a rival to Kopter in this game; she has medium boost and speed, and also has top agility. As all playable characters, she had the ability to do Wild Moves. This was her first appearance on the Wii console.
