Cranky Kong: Difference between revisions

'''Cranky Kong''' is a [[Kong]] who is depicted as a paternal figure to [[Donkey Kong]], though [[#Identity confusion|their exact relation varies]]. He is characterized by frequently breaking the [[fourth wall]] and constantly complaining and rambling (especially in [[Rare Ltd.|Rare]]-made games), although he proves to be a helpful sage in many situations, having been shown to possess much knowledge about the current location and its history and secrets.<ref>{{cite|quote=Have you been to see my husband Cranky?

Cranky is playable in every build of ''[[Diddy Kong Pilot]]''.

In the Space World 2000 build, Cranky Kon piloted a Old fashioned plane with a  red and light brown colorscheme. Cranky Kong did not wear his spectacles and instead wore a pair of earmuffs over his head. Cranky Kong was mentioned in [[King K. Rool|Kamikaze K. Rool's]] story, "K. Rool's Gold", as having tried and failed to get the treasure of El Dorado. Cranky Kong presumably was going to have a story mode of his own, but it appears to have never been developed before this build was cancelled and with it, the idea of story modes.

 

 

He has the highest speed and acceleration of the other characters, and is lightweight. His stat spread arguably make Cranky one of the better racers in the game. In the final literation, ''[[jiggywikki:Banjo-Pilot|Banjo-Pilot]]''. Cranky's biplane was used by [[jiggywikki:Mumbo Jumbo|Mumbo Jumbo]], but [[jiggywikki:Bottles|Bottles]] is the character that inherited Cranky stat spread and spot as the final unlockable character.
