In the ''Donkey Kong Country'' TV series, the Crystal Coconut was stolen from an unknown source by the great-great-great-grandfather of one of the show's main characters, [[Kaptain Skurvy]]. Skurvy's great-great-great-grandfather hid the coconut on [[Donkey Kong Island|Kongo Bongo Island]], specifically in the eye of the mystical idol [[Inka Dinka Doo]]. However, after many years, the coconut popped out of its hiding place and is found by [[Donkey Kong]], who is then proclaimed the future ruler of Kongo Bongo Island. The show's main antagonists, [[King K. Rool]] and the aforementioned Kaptain Skurvy constantly try to steal the coconut from the [[Kong]]s; the former wants to use it to take over Kongo Bongo Island; the latter believes it is his birthright as his ancestor stole the coconut, and seems to want to use it to "rule the seven seas" as well. | In the ''Donkey Kong Country'' TV series, the Crystal Coconut was stolen from an unknown source by the great-great-great-grandfather of one of the show's main characters, [[Kaptain Skurvy]].

The coconut's powers in the show are inconsistent and range widely, as it primarily serves as a plot device. It is known to be able to heal wounds, turn people invisible, freeze time (though living animals are unaffected), put someone in an endless sleep, and serve as a crystal ball that characters use for {{wp|scrying}}. Occasionally, the coconut projects images on its own, often warning the Kongs when Kaptain Skurvy and his crew are returning to Kongo Bongo Island, which suggests that the coconut is an intelligent sentient being. Cranky Kong seems to be able to use the coconut to astral project to different places, though he must always return to where the coconut is, even if it has been removed from its original location. For the duration of the show, the Crystal Coconut is kept in [[Cranky's Cabin|Cranky Kong's Cabin]], inside a safe disguised as a celestial globe. The only way to open the safe is for Cranky to tap his cane on the ground, but many times Cranky opens the safe unintentionally. | The coconut's powers in the show are inconsistent and range widely, as it primarily serves as a plot device.

Crystal Coconuts also appear in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]''. They are one of the items that come out of [[Balloon (Donkey Kong Barrel Blast)|red balloon]]s. If the player gets one, they will be invincible, have unlimited [[Wild Move]]s and can also hurt other racers by simply touching them, similar to a Star in the ''Mario Kart'' series. Unlike most other items obtained from a red balloon, it does not get an effect boost if a [[Kong]] uses one. | Crystal Coconuts also appear in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]''.
