Cranky Kong appears in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', voiced by [[Fred Armisen]] in the English version. | Cranky Kong appears in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', voiced by [[Fred Armisen]] in the English version. He is the ruler of the [[Jungle Kingdom]], and commander of his own army, the [[Great Kong Army]]. In this depiction, Cranky Kong is adorned with an Aztec-styled crown and outfit, and unlike his game depiction, does not have wrinkles on his mouth. Cranky retains his personality from the games in light of this role, and is depicted as being Donkey Kong's father. | ||
Threatened by [[Bowser]]'s impending attack on the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach]] and [[Toad]] arrive at Cranky Kong's throne to ask for his Great Kong Army to assist in their battle. Cranky Kong turns down the offer, as Peach pleads that the Jungle Kingdom would be next to fall if the Mushroom Kingdom was to be taken over. Mario insists despite Cranky Kong ridiculing him, and finally concedes and promises to aid them in their battle only if Mario successfully defeats his best warrior and son, Donkey Kong. | |||
At the [[Great Ring of Kong]], Cranky watches the battle from a gold throne alongside Peach and Toad. He is shown to be annoyed at Donkey Kong's antics and show-off personality, at one point telling him to stop flexing his pec muscles. Despite that, he cheers his son on through his continued hits on Mario, but is surprised at the upset when Mario defeats Donkey Kong using the [[Cat Mario|cat power-up]]. A defeated Cranky Kong agrees to lend his army to Princess Peach. He is shown in the following scene breaking up a second fight between Mario and Donkey Kong before it begins. | |||
The Great Kong Army, with Cranky Kong leading, take on [[Rainbow Road]] in [[kart]]s headed to [[Bowser's ship]]. [[Bowser]] receives prior knowledge of this attempted raid from his [[Koopa General]], prompting Bowser to send out an ambush squad of [[Koopa]]s on karts. The Koopas overtake the main characters, and Cranky Kong is captured and trapped alongside the Kongs in Bowser's ship, trapped in a cage suspended over lava. In a conversation between Donkey Kong and Mario shortly after this scene, Donkey Kong reveals his strained relationship with Cranky where he feels like he can never make his father proud, and feels like he constantly lets him down. Towards the film's end, Cranky Kong is rescued from the cage by Donkey Kong and Cranky warmly tells him he has earned the right to show off his pecs. | |||
