Cranky Kong

 * "I thought you were supposed to be a big star!"
 * "I didn't! Whisking off maidens and chucking barrels, seven days a week I was! There was none of this lazin' around on a beach!"
 * "I wouldn't be caught dead in a game with bonus levels, end-of-level bosses, and a screen that scrolls!"
 * "Say hello to your old grandpappy Cranky. I'm back by popular demand to offer my wealth of gameplay wisdom for this unnecessary sequel."
 * "I'd sort out old K. Rool for you real quick, but I'd be spoiling the limited fun you're trying to get out of this shoddy product!"
 * "Surprise, surprise. Well if it isn't the so called video game heroes! I hope I'm getting paid for all my help!"
 * "Have you been to see the other members of the Kong family? They're not as useful as me of course, but they might be able to help."
 * "I was hoping for more frames this time, but no! Don't let old Cranky do anything. Just give him some third rate stand frames!"
 * "You think your fancy graphics and sound will work again! I think not. You'll be lucky to sell 10 copies this time!"
 * "I hope you bought "Cranky Kong Country" last year. I was the one who made it so successful, not that lumbering Donkey!"
 * "Just 'cos DKC sold a few lousy copies, I have to be included in another ludicrous adventure! It's the last time, I tell you!"
 * "K. Rool is gonna whup your hides this time, whippersnappers! I'd better take over before you embarrass yourselves!"
 * "Is that nasty fat crocodile beating you? Listen up, and I'll share my amazing knowledge!"
 * "Back so soon? I thought you'd complete at least another level before you came crying to me!"
 * "I knew you'd be back. Can't finish this ridiculous quest without my help, can you?"
 * "I knew it! You've come to beg for my help again, haven't you! Well, I'm not going to tell you anything this time!"
 * "You must be really desperate to read all this! Having trouble on your miserable, boring quest are we?"
 * "I don't even get two screens to stand in! I'm sure K. Rool will have two, so why can't I? Pah!"
 * "Look! They've even taken my chair from me. It's disgusting how they treat old video game heroes these days..."
 * "Did you notice in DKC that my tune sounded like the title tune? How dare they! I'm worth two different tunes at least!"
 * "Look at all this junk in here! Treat my home like a trash can they do! No respect for their elders, that's the trouble..."
 * "Where's Expresso? A clumsy spider and a fat parrot, is that the best they can think of?"
 * "I hate being stuck in this shabby barrel. I want to sit outside like last time!"
 * "Give up now before the kids realize you're not as popular as Donkey Kong was!"
 * "You spend as much time in here as I do!"
 * "I don't know why I help you so much. You don't appreciate me!"
 * "I'll box your ears if you don't listen this time!"
 * "Come on in! Have yourselves a look 'round and buy some of this trash, why don't you?"
 * "Haven't sold a single thing in weeks! If this junk was out of one of my games, the customers would be begging to get in!"
 * "What do you want this time?"
 * "O.K., which of these would you like?"
 * "Here's what I've got to offer."
 * "This stuff is cheap at half the price!"
 * "Gaze in awe, as you appreciate my knowledge!"
 * "Here's a fraction of my enviable knowledge!"
 * "Go ahead, test my amazing knowledge!"
 * "Pick a subject! I know everything about this game!"
 * "Try all you'd like, this game will never be as good as Donkey Kong Country, and even THAT was rubbish anyway!"
 * "Shouldn't Dixie just be a token female princess waiting to be rescued, instead of a main character?"
 * "Diddy, I thought you were a cheap character in DKC, but Dixie's even worse! It should be me on my own, that it should!"
 * "Girl heroes in video games, pah. I can't believe it! The main character should be really muscle-bound and carry a gun, not twirl their hair round!"
 * "Well done, Diddy, m'boy! Who'd have known you'd be able to rescue that lazy grandson of mine and dump K. Rool in his own filthy swamp? Not bad for a novice! Of course, if I'd have been playing, I'd have made sure that K. Rool never tries a cheap trick like this again!"
 * "An eight-legged friend will go halfway to help you here."
 * "I bet this here Killer Instinct game is rubbish too! It hasn't got me in it, so it must be!"
 * "Enough talk, let's see your tokens!"
 * "I'd have collected far more tokens than that by now! What's wrong, got holes in your pockets?"
 * "I reckon you should spend all your tokens here."
 * "I can recommend the really expensive ones, actually."
 * "Don't come back without a sackful of tokens!"
 * "I'm off to spend my tokens!"
 * "Feast yer eyes on my menu!"
 * "Take a look at this lot!"
 * "Time for a couple of games on this here Killer Instinct."
 * "I gotta go now, my wife is visiting any moment!"
 * "When you need more advice, which you will, I might help again, if you're lucky."
 * "Remember, I'm the most useful of the Kongs, and the cheapest!"
 * "It should be real easy for you now!"
 * "Even you can finish this silly game now!"
 * "Now, go and sort out those stupid crocodiles!"
 * "Don't be surprised if I'm gone next time. I'll be in a real game!"
 * "Now, buzz off and let me work on my new game design."
 * "Guess I'd better tidy this miserable dump up a bit."
 * "I don't want to help you too much."
 * "That's enough help for now. I need some rest."
 * "Yawn! I'm getting tired. Go away and don't disturb me again!"
 * "Now, go ahead and switch that cartridge off, so I could get some sleep! I reckon I've earned it!"
