Cranky Kong appears as a playable partner character in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', marking the first time he is fully playable in a ''Donkey Kong Country'' game. Cranky is able to use his cane to bounce upward, as well as on spikes, and defeat certain enemies that the other Kongs cannot. His cane can also be utilized to attack and take down underwater enemies that cannot be defeated by a simple [[Corkscrew (Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze)|corkscrew]] move, such as [[Pufftup]]s and [[Sea Urchin]]s. Despite the crane's capabilities, it cannot be used to collapse unsound underwater structures, balancing it in relation to the corkscrew action. Cranky's [[Popgun|Denture Popgun]] has unlimited ammo of dentures, which can be shot at enemies in order to stun them for a brief period of time. Cranky's use of his cane as a pogo stick to attack enemies is similar to the method of attack used by {{wp|Scrooge McDuck}}, the main protagonist of Disney's ''{{wp|DuckTales}}'', in a {{wp|DuckTales (video game)|video game adaptation}} of his show that [[Capcom]] produced for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] in 1990. | Cranky Kong appears as a playable partner character in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', marking the first time he is fully playable in a ''Donkey Kong Country'' game.
