The episode begins with Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong relaxing at the beach. Donkey Kong, knowing that it is "All Fools Day," is worried that Cranky Kong will prank him. Diddy tells him that he had told Cranky the two were at the beach, thinking that the old ape would believe that what he had told him was a prank. Donkey Kong, still a bit anxious, sits down on the nearest deck chair. The chair immediately breaks, and Cranky Kong appears next to Diddy, laughing with him. Donkey Kong is then stunned to learn that he had fallen for a prank of both of the Kongs. Once their laugh is over, Cranky shakes Diddy's hand, making a deal that he will not prank Diddy this year. However, as the young monkey shakes his hand, he is shocked by Cranky's hidden joy buzzer. Cranky Kong energetically leaves the two Kongs, who are both stupefied by his latest trick. | The episode begins with Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong relaxing at the beach.

Back at Cranky's tree house, the three Kongs fight about whose fault their error was. Cranky says it doesn't matter who's idea it was and that the real question is how they will get the coconut back, but DK insists the real question is what is inside a tin he found. Cranky tells him that its a trick, but he doesn't believe him and, thinking its contents to be food, opens it. The contents of the container, itching powder, turn out to be another one of Cranky's tricks, and the Kongs begin to frantically scratch themselves. This joke quickly gives Cranky an idea. | Back at Cranky's tree house, the three Kongs fight about whose fault their error was.

Donkey Kong races to where K. Rool resides, where King K. Rool is seen telling his two minions about how he obtained the Crystal Coconut. When the Kremling leader notices the Kong, he is told by the primate that the coconut is cursed. Although the reptile doesn't believe this at first, Donkey Kong persuades him by using the many pranks used previously by Cranky Kong. King K. Rool, thinking that all the effects of the pranks are coming from the Crystal Coconut, gives the coconut back to Donkey Kong, glad to no longer have the item. Before Donkey Kong leaves, he yells "All Fools Day" to the Kremlings, and then heads back to Cranky's tree house, where he tells Cranky how the prank went. As the ape heads over to put the Crystal Coconut back into its correct place, he trips, dropping and shattering it. Cranky panics as this happens, but is then stopped by Donkey Kong, who, after saying "Gotcha," shows him Diddy Kong holding the real coconut, | Donkey Kong races to where K.

An exasperated Cranky then ends the episode by finally saying the sentence that everyone says when they get pranked on All Fools Day: "Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle..." | ||

*The premise of the episode of someone trying to prank at least one of the Kongs into thinking King K. Rool had arrived only to unintentionally bring over the actual King K. Rool in the process was later used again with King K. Rool's reveal trailer for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', "The Rivals", in which [[List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros. Brawl#King Dedede|King Dedede]] pulls a similar prank. However, in this instance, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong are the intended recipients of the prank, rather than causing it like in the episode. | |||
