The ape collapses by all the weight, and Candy sits on one of the barrels, continuing to read a magazine of hers. Candy shows the magazine to [[Diddy Kong]], letting him see the "talented, dreamy, movie star," [[List of implied characters#Leonardo DiAperio|Leonardo DiAperio]]. Donkey Kong, jealous, asks what makes him so special, but Diddy replies with "movie star looks, movie star fame, movie star money..." To give Candy more of an interest in him, Donkey Kong tells her that he has appeared in some movies of his own. Suddenly, Bluster Kong exits his factory explains that he has a parcel to send by air mail. Candy inquires if she can do anything while he is gone, but the ape simply replies by screaming in her ear. | ||

The next day, Bluster begins his auditions, which he is displeased by. Klump, Krusha, Donkey Kong, and other Kongs of the island try out, but do not do well. Donkey Kong, desperate to be in the film, tries to show off his skill by lifting two barrels again, but, as before, collapses. Bluster Kong believes that he is never going to find a good actor, until he hears King K. Rool from behind him. He chooses K. Rool as the leading character, along with Klump and Krusha as more minor characters, which greatly surprises Donkey Kong. The ape finds it unfair that he is the only person who doesn't get to be in the movie, but Funky Kong whispers something in | The next day, Bluster begins his auditions, which he is displeased by.

Candy thinks it is Leonardo DiAperio, but Donkey Kong replies with "nope." She then guesses the islanders of [[Kongo Bongo]], all except Donkey Kong. Donkey Kong, feeling a little less confident, tells her that ''he'' is going to be in the movie - as the villain. This impresses Candy, as she believes it takes real acting skills to be the villain. However, Donkey Kong soon desperately asks her if she can teach him how to act, as he can not act very well at all. Candy suggests that he try method acting. Before the ape leaves, he asks her what that is. She explains to he that if he is the bad guy, he should think and talk like the bad guy. Donkey Kong takes the tip after singing a song with Candy. | ||
Meanwhile, Bluster Kong films King K. Rool. Bluster tells the crocodile to pretend he wants Candy Kong, the movie's damsel-in-distress, more than anything. However, K. Rool refuses to do so, as he does not want Candy at all. Instead, Bluster advises him to pretend she is something he really does want. King K. Rool knows that he wants the Crystal Coconut more than anything, and asks Bluster if he can have a few moments to "find his character." Bluster allows him to do so, and K. Rool runs off. | Meanwhile, Bluster Kong films King K. Rool. Bluster tells the crocodile to pretend he wants Candy Kong, the movie's damsel-in-distress, more than anything. However, K.
