Cranky Kong would later run the [[Monkey Museum]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', and [[Cranky's Lab]] in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. In the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]] of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', Cranky runs his own [[Cranky's Dojo|dojo]]. In ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', Cranky runs his own [[Cranky Kong's Shop|shop]], whose design appears to have been inspired from his original cabin. The location's theme is even a rendition of that of Cranky's Cabin's.

Cranky's Cabin first appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', as an optional location that [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] can visit to hear Cranky's advice, usually regarding [[animal token]] and [[bonus room]] locations in the first [[world]], [[Kongo Jungle]]. Regardless of the current [[world]], Cranky's Cabin is surrounded by jungle foliage. In addition to his advice, Cranky lives up to his name by complaining, often breaking the [[fourth wall]] in the process. He constantly whines about how the games from his glory days (such as the original ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'') were much better than the newer one. Cranky makes other complaints such as over modern graphics, which he deems as too bright and colorful, or his swaying beard being a "waste of frames" from the game's end.

In the ending, after the [[Kong]]s defeat [[King K. Rool]], they take a trip to Cranky's Cabin, where the old ape will congratulate them, and comment on whether or not they found all of the bonus rooms in the game. Afterwards, he will tell the Kongs to return to the banana hoard, so they can see that it's been replenished.

Occasionally, Cranky says he would invite Donkey and Diddy indoors but the game cannot allocate the memory allowing him to do so. Ironically, in the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], Cranky's Cabin takes place indoors, and it now features new background details referencing other Rare games. The mask of [[jiggywikki:Mumbo Jumbo|Mumbo Jumbo]], a character from the ''[[jiggywikki:Banjo-Kazooie (series)|Banjo-Kazooie]]'' series, is lying on Steel Barrels right outside the screen. The decapitated head of Sabre Wulf, the main villain of ''{{wp|Sabreman}}'', is mounted on the cabin's wall, next to the entrance. Sabre Wulf does not appear to be dead because his eyes continue to blink in spite of his decapitation. To the left of Sabre Wulf's head is a framed picture above a television set with a flashing static screen.
