Follow That Coconut

Follow That Coconut is the thirty-third episode of the Donkey Kong Country animated series.

Plot Synopsis
One day before the annual soccer game against the lizards, Diddy asks Donkey Kong if he is nervous about the game which he asks why he should be nervous. Diddy reminds DK that he is the star player and that he has not practiced yet and also because if they lose it will be the first time ever but DK does not seems worried. DK decides to practice with a coconut that he found. Meanwhile Klump and Krusha spy on the Kongs from behind a fake bush until DK kicks the coconut ball, landing on the lizards and exposing them behind the bush but they run away when DK and Diddy start going after them with Krusha taking the ball.

At the hideout Krusha and Klump are playing with the coconut ball from before until King K. Rool comes and reminds them not to play indoors and demanding the coconut ball. King K. Rools happily assumes that his henchmen were playing a trick on him and pretending that the coconut ball is actually the Crystal Coconut. Klump tells King K. Rool that his "Crystal Coconut" is just a regular coconut. King K. Rool gets angry about this but he has an idea that since he thought the coconut was the Crystal Coconut, he decides that they should switch it with the real Crystal Coconut.

Meanwhile at Cranky's Cabin, Cranky Kong, who is the coach for the soccer team, is going over his winning and complicated play he discussed with Bluster Kong and Eddie the Mean Old Yeti with DK and Diddy. The two Kongs get funny and throw paper airplanes at Cranky which he gets angry and leaves. This leaves Klump and Krusha perfect timing to come in and switch the regular coconut with the Crystal Coconut.

Over at the barrel factory, Cranky tries to ask Bluster if he remembers his winning soccer play but Bluster is unable to hear him over the loud noise of the factory. Cranky instead tries to remember the play himself.

Back at the cabin Klump calls the Kongs out and DK sees Klump with the regular coconut thinking that he has the Crystal Coconut. Klump acts like he does have it and throws it with DK catching it. When he and Diddy try to put the coconut back in the case they see the real Crystal Coconut already there and get confused. When Klump takes the real Crystal Coconut DK tries to get it back, only to end up with the assumed Crystal Coconut and the lizards ending up with the real one. When Cranky gets back, remembering his winning soccer play, the lizards run off and trample Cranky who make him forget the play once again. DK and Diddy try to explain to Cranky that they were protecting the Crystal Coconut but he just blames DK for making him forget his winning play. DK suggest to Cranky that the Crystal Coconut can help him remember with Cranky happily saying that this is the first intelligent thing that he ever said and tries to use the coconut(not knowing that it is fake).

Over at the hideout, King K. Rool is cheerfully singing over his victory while Cranky is in sorrow for the lizards having the Crystal Coconut and scolds DK and Diddy for letting this happen and makes them go get the coconut back. On their way DK and Diddy are practicing soccer with the regular coconut when Diddy suggest that they should also switch the coconuts.

At the hideout while King K. Rool and Klump are asleep, the Kongs invite Krusha to play soccer and tell him to bring his own ball. Krusha wonders where a ball is and takes the Crystal Coconut from a sleeping King K. Rool. DK, Diddy and Krusha start playing until Krusha accidently kicks a big rock which wakes Klump up. Krusha kicks the Crystal Coconut to the Kongs but when Diddy switches the coconuts Klump catches them. Both the Kongs and the lizards start fighting over the real Crystal Coconut resulting with the Kongs getting the real coconut and the lizars who think they have it, end up with the fake coconut.

DK and Diddy return to Cranky's Cabin with the Crystal Coconut and find a note left by Cranky. DK wonders why Cranky did not send his hologram but the note answers his question when it says, "I didn't send my hologram because you two chuckleheads lost my Crystal Coconut." Cranky also says in his note that he went to the White Mountains to ask Eddie the Yeti about the winning soccer play and that if they retrieved back the Crystal Coconut, they should bring it to him. Donkey Kong wonders why but the note strangely says "Stop asking questions and just do it you numbskull."

Meanwhile at the White Mountains Cranky asks Eddie if he knows the winning soccer play but Eddie forgets and asks Cranky who he is. Eddie remembers and then Cranky asks about the play they discussed with Bluster with Eddie asking who Bluster is. After Cranky asks again, Eddie shows the winning play that he kept in his diary.

Back at the hideout Klump tries to give back the "Crystal Coconut" to King K. Rool while he is asleep, only to wake up and find out that the coconut is fake. He has enough of his cronies failing so he decides to once again switch the coconut himself and they all head off to the White Mountains.

At the White Mountains DK and Diddy are looking for Cranky, only to end up running into the lizards and both dropping their coconuts. When DK picks up both coconuts, King K. Rool grabs Diddy and threatens to drop him if DK does not give him the Crystal Coconut. DK kicks both coconuts at King K. Rool, dropping Diddy and the fake coconut breaking and causing snow to fall on the lizards. After getting back the Crystal Coconut Cranky comes and DK asks him if he remembers his famous soccer play. Cranky tells him that it is called "The Big Switcheroo" which involves switching the real soccer ball with a fake one (just like todays event with the Crystal Coconut). Watchers then see the lizards covered in snow with King K. Rool catching a cold.
