Inka Dinka Doo



Inka Dinka Doo is a large statue character from the Donkey Kong Country animated series. He has many different faces, and changes his faces to show his different emotions. Apparently, Kaptain Skurvy's great, great, great, grandfather hid the Crystal Coconut in Inka Dinka Doo's eye. However, it fell out and Donkey Kong came and picked it up, making him the future ruler of the island. DK often visits Inka Dinka Doo's Temple to ask Inka for advice on his current situation or help him solve a dillema.

Inka Dinka Doo first appeared on the series in the episode "Raiders of the Lost Banana". In that episode, Polly Roger steals the Crystal Coconut for King K. Rool, and DK and Diddy Kong chase him into Inka Dinka Doo's Temple. They manage to reclaim the Coconut, but before leaving the temple, DK finds a Golden Banana (not to be confused with those seen in Donkey Kong 64) belonging to Inka and gives it to Candy Kong as a present. As Cranky Kong tells DK and Diddy, however, the Golden Banana is cursed, and soon bad luck comes to those around Candy. DK and Diddy eventually return the Banana to Inka, but Polly Roger then steals it and brings it to K. Rool. Fortunately for the Kongs, only K. Rool is now to be doomed by the Banana's curse since he planned on doing evil things with it.

Later, in the episode "Orangutango", on the day of Kongo Bongo Island's annual Orangutango dancing contest, Inka Dinka Doo later called DK to the temple in "Orangutango", saying he would need to pass a few tests to save the island. These tests involved sending DK through three passageways while avoiding spikes, pits, and flying arrows, respectively. DK managed to pass these tests, after which Inka told him to go save the island. DK didn't understand, but shortly afterward, Funky Kong, who was supposed to dance against K. Rool in the contest, hurt his ankle and couldn't dance. DK filled in for Funky, and then realized that Inka had in fact been giving him dancing lessons, for Inka had foreseen that Funky would injure himself. (Ironically, DK did not win the contest, but K. Rool ended up blowing his chance for the prize, a wish on the Crystal Coconut, by wishing General Klump would stop doing an annoying dance.)

In the episode "The Legend Of The Crystal Coconut", Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong went to Inka Dinka Doo's Temple to ask him about the secrets of the Crystal Coconut. He gives them the ominous message, "To learn, you must give up everthing." Donkey Kong interprets this wrong, and ends up giving the Crystal Coconut to King. K. Rool in order to learn about it. Later in the episode, Diddy and Cranky get the Coconut back, and Diddy takes it to Inka Dinka Doo's Temple to hide it. When Skurvy, Green Kroc, and Kutlass corner the Kongs in the temple, Diddy runs away with the Coconut, drawing away Kutlass and Green Croc. At the end of the episode, Donkey Kong tells Inka Dinka Doo, "I will be back some day, you can count on it," The statue responds "Whatever".
