Line 38: Line 39:
Using barrels as a disguise, Klump and his men get to DK's house. Diddy playfully asks for what he wants, and when Diddy insults him, the Kritters arm their Klap-blasters. Diddy asks DK what to do, though he instead makes gun noises. Klump believes they are actually firing upon them, and has the Kritters return fire while he ducks inside his barrel; the Klaptraps fired then begin to chew through his floor. Klump and his men then use springs loaded into their barrels to get to the upper level right when the Klaptraps cause the section of the floor Diddy and DK are standing on to fall to the ground. K. Rool then walks up and asks Donkey Kong for the Crystal Coconut, though the baby ape refuses. K. Rool then makes a pretend game of football out of handing over the coconut, but Donkey Kong still does not hand it over. Losing his patience, he once again demands the coconut, though by then the effects of the potion wear off and Donkey Kong turns into an adult once more. Klump and the Kritters then retreat, and K. Rool tries to surrender, but Donkey Kong instead punches him in the face, causing his eye to turn bloodshot, like his game counterpart.

K. Rool is then back at his base, sulking over his latest loss. Klump tells him that they can  "get him next time!" but K. Rool, calling himself old, does not believe there can possibly be a next time, while holding the youth serum created by Cranky. He believes that it can "give [him] back [his] fighting spirit," and gulps the remainder of it down; however, instead of making him younger, it shrinks him.

Your Majesty? Where did you go?"

*When K. Rool drinks the youth potion, he shrinks in a cloud of smoke (while his crown doesn't), yet, when he's shown inside his crown, he is wearing another crown.
*When [[Cranky Kong]] crashes through K. Rool's roof, he is standing in front of the platform that sends up the [[Kritter]]s. When he notices that he is surrounded, he is suddenly standing on the platform.
*After K. Rool is shrunk down to size, he says "Mommy?" in a high pitched voice, suggesting that he was supposed to change into a baby like Donkey Kong did, except he is still in his grown up adult body.
*[[Baby Kong|Baby DK]] is shown to have 4 fingers and 3 toes on each hand and feet respectively, despite the fact that his adult self posesses 5 on each.
