"'''Bad Hair Day'''" is the first episode of the [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' TV series]] produced and the first to air in France, the show's country of origin. However, it was the third episode to air in North America.  


This episode was produced first, making it the pilot episode. As such, there are a few inconsistencies with the rest of the show. Krusha is less simple-minded in this episode, and the lighting in King K. Rool's lair is much darker. King K. Rool's name was pronounced two different ways during this episode. First, he was referred to as "King Kay-Rool", and then "King Kuh-Rool" shortly afterwards. However, after this episode, he was never referred to as "Kay-Rool" again. Cranky breaks the fourth wall much like in the games, something he almost never does in the animated series.
