Ask Cranky is an activity published on the official website for the remake of Donkey Kong Country for the Game Boy Advance. The activity functions in a similar manner to the activity released on the American English DK: King of Swing website, as the player is to write a question that can be answered with "yes" or "no" into a box, and Cranky Kong will respond. The game is formatted as a write-in column in a newspaper titled DKC Daily News.
