==Plot synopsis==

Meanwhile, in [[Cranky's Cabin]], [[Candy Kong|Candy]] and [[Diddy Kong]] find out by [[Cranky Kong]] himself that he has just discovered when the next eclipse will occur: In exactly four days at 3:35 P.M., just in time for the [[Annual Donkey Kong Challenge]]. Candy then thinks a bit and asks Cranky why exactly they have a Donkey Kong Challenge. Cranky explains that it is an event to keep Donkey Kong on his toes, as he needs to be in tip-top shape to guard the [[Crystal Coconut]] as future ruler of [[Donkey Kong Island|Kongo Bongo Island]]. Also, if the ape were to lose, he would not be the future ruler anymore. Fortunately, as Diddy reminds, nobody ever challenges Donkey Kong in his challenge because he is the biggest, strongest ape on the island.

In the [[Monkey Mines|Mines]], [[Krusha (character)|Krusha]] attempts to fix the current black-out by putting the wires back correctly, for if he does not, [[King K. Rool]] will tickle him. King K. Rool then announces to his two henchmen that he has quit attempting to steal the Crystal Coconut. Instead, he will make the [[Kong]]s give him it, fair-and-square, for he will enter the Annual Donkey Kong Challenge - with Kong Fu challenging DK for him. Kong Fu then enters and breaks into song about the amazing feats he has done, such as riding the tail of a tornado and being swallowed by a shark. He also mentions that his mind is as sharp as a wisdom tooth, all of which makes him the "Kung Fu Master."

Continuing on the Contest of the Mind coaching, Kong Fu describes to the lizards what an electron is, with a very detailed explanation and example as well. King K. Rool is amazed and begins to believe that Donkey Kong has no chance of winning at all. Klump brings up that, despite being smart and powerful, Kong Fu doesn't have much of a heart, which even Kong Fu agrees with. King K. Rool decides that once Kong Fu wins the Crystal Coconut, he just needs to "generously" give it away to the lizard king himself.

Outside of Candy's house, Donkey Kong tells Candy that he cannot believe of how over-confident he was about the contest. He is ashamed that he did not prepare in advance because he was so sure that nobody would challenge him. Candy sings with the ape that no matter what, he will still win the Contest of the Heart, and that if he believes in himself, he can still win the other contests. Cranky Kong and Diddy come in and Candy asks the old-timer if there is anything else they can do to help Donkey. Diddy comes up with an idea.

Kong Fu, being scared of the dark, stops and sniffles, which causes the reptiles to insult Kong Fu for his cowardly attitude. The Kongs encourage Donkey Kong to attack Kong Fu, but hitting someone when they are down is against Donkey Kong's own good will, and he thus wins the Contest of the Heart, for not taking advantage of Kong Fu when they are down. The eclipse ends and this leaves both gorillas at a score of one-to-one, the final contest being the Contest of the Body. Kong Fu is angered by the lizards' attitude toward his fear of darkness, and tells them to find somebody else to work for them. Kong Fu then decides to forfeit, allowing Donkey Kong to win by default. King K. Rool, in anger and frustration, goes back to the mines with Klump and Krusha to come up with a new plan to get the Crystal Coconut using his two "idiots." Donkey Kong tells Cranky that tomorrow, he shall start his training for next-year's challenge, but before that, he will break his first banana record. Cranky starts getting infuriated (though DK doesn't know why) and the other Kongs laugh as the episode ends with Donkey Kong swallowing his banana.
