How can I help you?|publisher=[[Donkey Kong Country]]}}</ref>) is an elderly [[Kong]] and the late wife of [[Cranky Kong]]. She first appeared in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', but has been deceased and a ghost since ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. Wrinkly mostly either provides information or saves the player's game progress. | ||

Like Cranky's [[Monkey Museum]], Wrinkly provides hints that range from either no cost to a few Banana Coins. In various moments, Wrinkly alludes that the Kong Kollege is specifically a school for the [[Kremling]]s, including [[King K. Rool|Kaptain K. Rool]], whom she asks the [[Kong]]s to ask if he has done his homework. | ||
In the [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], Diddy and Dixie can request homework from Wrinkly, where their assignment is to entirely fill a [[Scrapbook (Donkey Kong Country series)|Scrapbook]] with all 40 [[photograph]]s. Wrinkly gives a [[DK Coin|Hero Coin]] to them for every page they fill. Wrinkly no longer saves the player's progress, as this is done from the world map's {{button|GBA|Start}} menu. | |||

Sometime after the events of ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', Wrinkly retired from teaching at Kong Kollege and moved to the [[Northern Kremisphere]] inside a [[Wrinkly's Save Cave]]. Like Kong Kollege, Wrinkly's Save Cave has a crucial role in saving the player's game progress, although it is free of charge. She no longer provides level hints, and she cares for the [[Banana Bird]]s rescued from various [[secret cave]]s. Whenever the Kongs enter her Save Cave, Wrinkly is performing one of four activities, either exercising, sitting on her couch either asleep or awake, or playing the [[Nintendo 64]]. | ||
In the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], Wrinkly's role has been lessened. She only runs a single sanctuary, named [[Wrinkly's Retreat]], from the main [[Northern Kremisphere]] map. There her only purpose is taking care of the Banana Birds rescued by Dixie and [[Kiddy Kong]]. As with ''Donkey Kong Country 2''{{'}}s Game Boy Advance remake, Wrinkly no longer saves the player's progress, which is instead done from the world map's {{button|GBA|Start}} menu. | In the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], Wrinkly's role has been lessened.

In ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', she offers to save the player's game for two Banana Coins, just as in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', but she no longer offers any gameplay advice. In ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', Wrinkly retains her role of saving the Kongs' progress in ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', though a big difference is she no longer cares for the Banana Birds, as they do not make a reappearance. Additionally, Wrinkly does not perform various activities and is always sitting awake on her couch. One of Wrinkly's lines has a misspelling of [[Kremling]]: "Keep an eye out for those Kremlins!". | ||

Wrinkly is briefly seen in the ending of the ''[[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' comic, "[[Donkey Kong in: Banana Day 24]]", quarreling with Cranky.

In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', Wrinkly is revealed to have died | In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', Wrinkly is revealed to have died sometime after the events of ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' and appears as a ghost. In every level's lobby, the active [[Kong]] can talk to Wrinkly from one of the five color-coded [[Wrinkly Door]]s. If the Kong steps in front of a Wrinkly Door of their color, a ghostly sound effect plays and Wrinkly comes out from the door. She gives a hint to the Kong on how they can obtain a [[Golden Banana]]. When talking to Wrinkly, a slower and major key version of [[Cranky's Lab]] plays. Her appearance as a ghost in this game would later continue into her future appearances. | ||
Wrinkly is the game's only supporting character with an optional role and one that does not cost anything.

In ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'', during the starting tutorial level [[Cranky's Lectures]], Wrinkly assists Cranky in teaching the basic controls to [[Donkey Kong]]. She demonstrates to him how to climb [[Peg Board]]s and how to charge an attack. Wrinkly is also unlockable in the Jungle Jam mode, her her first playable appearance in general, and she can be unlocked by obtaining every [[Crystal Coconut]]. In Jungle Jam, Wrinkly has a high jumping ability, tied with [[Dixie Kong]]'s, though she has an intermediate attack. | |||

She is unlocked by completing [[Candy's Challenges|Candy's Challenge]] #26: Let Wrinkly Kong Win!, which is level 4 in difficulty. As the name implies, Wrinkly must come in first in order to complete the challenge. Wrinkly's rival is [[Kopter]], and she has average boost and speed and maxed-out agility.

In the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], Wrinkly only appears in the form of a few different items. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Wrinkly appears as both a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] and a [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]]. Her trophy heavily resembles her ''DK: Jungle Climber'' artwork, and ironically, Wrinkly's trophy incorrectly mentions her latest game appearance as ''Donkey Kong 64'' instead of ''DK: Jungle Climber'', though in the Japanese version, the trophy incorrectly lists Wrinkly's debut appearance as ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' for the Game Boy Advance. Wrinkly's sticker, which recycles her ''DK: King of Swing'' artwork, can only be used by Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, and equipping it raises resistance against battering attacks by four. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', Wrinkly returns as a trophy, which is featured in the "Donkey Kong and his friends" trophy box. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Wrinkly Kong appears as a [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]]. | |||

Wrinkly Kong | Back when she was alive, Wrinkly Kong was an old [[Kong]] with a similar build to her husband Cranky Kong. She is covered in brown fur, has grey hair on her head and she also wears glasses. In her debut in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', she wore a green blanket. In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', she wears a white and purple gymnastics outfit that has dark gray fur armbands, and also wears white and purple sneakers and a white and purple headband. In the [[Game Boy Advance|GBA]] remake of ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', she only wears a white coat and does not wear any shoes. | ||
Ever since she became a ghost in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', Wrinkly still retained a similar appearance as in ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', except she is now white and translucent, has a wispy tail where her legs used to be, and wears a nightgown. In her current appearance introduced in ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'', she is no longer translucent and has gray fur, though her skin is rather white. Her glasses are much smaller and are oval shaped, compared to her previous semicircular ones, and her hair is covered by a white nightcap. | |||
