It is time for [[Donkey Kong Island|Kongo Bongo Island's]] annual Bananarama festival, and [[Candy Kong]] is especially looking forward to her favorite part of it - her and [[Funky Kong]], the best dancer on the island, winning the Orangutango dance contest like they do every year. The prize in the contest is a wish on the [[Crystal Coconut]]. [[Cranky Kong]] remarks that he is glad that it is always Funky who wins the contest ("Can you imagine if [[Bluster Kong|Bluster]] won the wish, or even [[Donkey Kong]]?"); Funky always wishes for a super-big surf wave. | It is time for [[Donkey Kong Island|Kongo Bongo Island's]] annual Bananarama festival, and [[Candy Kong]] is especially looking forward to her favorite part of it - her and [[Funky Kong]], the best dancer on the island, winning the Orangutango dance contest like they do every year.

At his hideout, K. Rool proclaims that he is selecting [[Krusha (character)|Krusha]] as his dance partner, as he does not want [[General Klump]]'s boots stepping on his feet. Before starting Krusha's dance lessons, K. Rool commands Klump to turn on the music. Klump responds by playing some wacky kazoo music while doing a jumping jacks-based dance, but his boss is unimpressed. After Klump turns on the right music, K. Rool tells Krusha to follow his steps, but the big guy is rather slow in doing so. After a while, he begins to catch on by stomping his feet as he attempts to imitate his boss's steps. | At his hideout, K.

Inka Dinka Doo tells DK that he has called him here to put him to a test - he must survive "three rooms of doom" in order to save Kongo Bongo Island. Funky and DK try to ask the idol to cut the test down to just one room of "heavy-duty doom," given that they have a dance contest to get back to, but Inka Dinka Doo insists that DK go through all three passageways. In the first of the three rooms, DK has to make it to the end of the room while avoiding the spiked pillars jutting out of the walls - all the while some drum music accompanies the action. He manages to pull this off without a scratch, and figures that they can still get back in time for Funky to beat K. Rool in the contest. | ||
At K. Rool's hideout, Krusha's improving floor-shaking dancing is really making a mess of things, so much so that K. Rool says that "he's a natural... disaster, that is!" and orders Klump to kill the music. Klump responds by starting up the kazoo music and doing his jumping jacks dance again, to which K. Rool responds "I wish you wouldn't do that." Klump reluctantly stops, and K. Rool tells Krusha to perform an encore. | At K.

The contest begins with Klump as the emcee. K. Rool and Krusha perform their dance and are met with amazed comments by the Kongs (Funky first remarks that it's "far out", but then changes his opinion to "lame" when the others glare at him) and applause by the [[Kritter]]s. DK and Candy then take their turn, and K. Rool laughs at DK's poor attempt at dancing ("Look! A monkey on a stick!"). Funky remarks that DK was dancing much better when he was going through that test in the temple, which gives Diddy an idea. Diddy and Funky then start beating on some barrels like drums, producing the same kind of bongo music that accompanied DK's test in the temple. Immediately, Donkey Kong starts dancing much better, during which he sings a reprise of "Anyone Can Dance," much to the amazement of Cranky and K. Rool. | The contest begins with Klump as the emcee.

Klump steps in to announce the winner, which he says is "based on the audience's response," but to the dismay of the Kongs, announces K. Rool as the winner anyway. K. Rool then has Krusha bring the Coconut to him so he can make his wish, and contemplates over whether he should wish to be ruler of the island. Before anything else can be said, Klump celebrates his boss's victory by doing the jumping jacks dance one more time, prompting K. Rool to scream "I ''WISH'' YOU WOULDN'T DO THAT!!" As a result of K. Rool's foolish choice of words, the Coconut accepts this as his wish, grants it, and returns to its case. K. Rool furiously orders Klump to do something, but all Klump can think of is saying that DK and Candy's consolation prize is "a complete set of dance lessons." The Kremlings make a run for it, but DK, Diddy and Funky immediately push down the trigger barrels to send them all flying. | Klump steps in to announce the winner, which he says is "based on the audience's response," but to the dismay of the Kongs, announces K.

Diddy points out that the idol was correct in saying that he needed to do it to save Kongo Bongo, given what happened with Funky. Donkey Kong then goes to ask Candy to dance with him again, but he accidentally steps on her foot, forcing him to admit that maybe he needs more lessons. ("And another partner," Diddy adds. "I hear General Klump's free." At which point, Klump calls out "Rendezvous at 1400 hours!"). | ||
