[[Funky Kong]] is busy surfing waves among the seagulls. [[Cranky Kong]] walks up to Donkey Kong and hits him on the head with his cane. Cranky asks Donkey Kong why he is sitting around if he's a "big star". Donkey Kong replies that even stars need time off. Cranky says that he never took breaks, "[[Donkey Kong (game)|whisking off maidens and throwing barrels seven days a week]]". Donkey Kong asks Cranky to leave him alone and stop pestering him, so Cranky leaves. Donkey Kong then goes to sleep in his chair. | ||
At night, [[Diddy Kong]] and his | At night, [[Diddy Kong]] and his little sister, [[Dixie Kong]], are worried because a mean Kremling pirate as King K. Rool’s brother, Kaptain K. Rool, kidnaps Donkey Kong. He is held captive because Donkey Kong has not returned. They go to the beach to investigate, and the [[Kong]]s find many footprints surrounding Donkey Kong's broken chair. They find a note in the chair which reads: | ||
:''Hah-arrrrh! We have got the big monkey! If you want him back, you scurvy dogs, you'll have to hand over the banana hoard! Kaptain K. Rool'' | :''Hah-arrrrh! We have got the big monkey! If you want him back, you scurvy dogs, you'll have to hand over the banana hoard! Kaptain K. Rool'' | ||

Cranky suggests handing over the banana hoard to K. Rool. Diddy refuses because of how much effort he and Donkey Kong went through to retrieve the [[banana]]s, and that he would be very upset if his bananas were stolen again. Cranky asks if they have any better suggestions, and Diddy and Dixie both say that they want to rescue Donkey Kong themselves. The two get in a brief argument with Cranky, who does not believe Diddy qualifies as a video game hero. Thus, it's up to Diddy to save his uncle, and alongside Dixie, who insisted on joining him, starts his journey. | Cranky suggests handing over the banana hoard to K. Rool.

The two Kongs travel through [[Crocodile Isle]], the hometown of the [[Kremling]]s. They defeat numerous enemies and collect items on their way. Diddy and Dixie first travel aboard [[Gangplank Galleon (world)|Gangplank Galleon]], a large pirate ship docked at the coast.

Diddy and Dixie eventually reach the end of the sixth world, [[K. Rool's Keep]], where they find Donkey Kong tied up in a chamber. Just as they celebrate, Donkey Kong is pulled up into K. Rool's personal airship, [[The Flying Krock]]. | ||
Aboard the giant airship, Diddy and Dixie find Donkey Kong tied up, and they battle Kaptain K. Rool. Donkey Kong eventually breaks free from his ropes, and he uppercuts K. Rool out of the roof. Kaptain K. Rool falls all the way down Crocodile Isle and into the surrounding water, where he is seemingly eaten up by sharks. | Aboard the giant airship, Diddy and Dixie find Donkey Kong tied up, and they battle Kaptain K.

During their adventures, Diddy and Dixie can also enter the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Lost World]] by paying a [[Kremkoin]] fee to [[Klubba]] at [[Klubba's Kiosk|his kiosk]]. The Kongs eventually enter Crocodile Isle's power source, [[Krocodile Kore]], where they re-encounter Kaptain K. Rool. After a short battle, K. Rool's blunderbuss explodes, which propels him into the energy geyser powering Crocodile Isle. This blocks the power flow, which then destroys Crocodile Isle. | During their adventures, Diddy and Dixie can also enter the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Lost World]] by paying a [[Kremkoin]] fee to [[Klubba]] at [[Klubba's Kiosk|his kiosk]].

Finally, from a cliff, Donkey, Diddy and and Dixie watch as Crocodile Isle explodes while sinking into the ocean. Just before the isle sinks, K. Rool escapes on a boat, laughing as he sails off into the horizon. | |||
