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. | 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]].
