Cranky's Hut

Cranky's Hut is where Cranky Kong resides in the Game Boy Advance remake of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. There is a Cranky's Hut located in every area of Crocodile Isle, excluding the Flying Krock.

While it essentially serves the same function of the Monkey Museum from the Super Nintendo version of the game, in addition to selling advice in exchange for Banana Coins and with some being free, Cranky's Hut also hosts an extra mini-game, Expresso Racing. Cranky keeps his pet, Expresso II, caged up in his hut, where Diddy and Dixie Kong can use Golden Feathers to power up the bird.

Trophies that are won from Expresso Racing are also held on the shelves of Cranky's Hut. With a 1st place trophy being gold, a 2nd place being silver, and a 3rd place being bronze.
