'''Kongo Bongo Gone Wrongo''' is the mysterious, contagious, and fatal disease that [[Diddy Kong]] catches after being bitten by its carrier, [[Polly Roger]], the treacherous Tropical Toucan. It is only seen once in the 29th episode of the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' animated TV series, [[Speak No Evil Dude]].

Tropical Toucans can be carriers of the disease and can transmit it through bites, otherwise the origins and background of the disease are a mystery. Its only known cure is the nectar of the rare Tin-Banana-Tu banana, which is a purple species of banana with an extremely foul taste, according to [[King K. Rool]]. Also a person can be immune to the disease if they have a very healthy diet, as [[General Klump]] mentioned that he rarely gets sick in general due to eating 100 garlic cloves a day: and so is not affected by Krusha's infection.

* In real life, no one can feel any pain or damage inside the brain. However it is possible to feel rupturing blood vessels which could be a result of pressure within the brain. This symptom can occur before the fatal brain damage and so can explain why the episode's victims of the disease do not have permanent damage.

Diddy Kong schemes his way out of receiving the vaccine using two coconuts, but is later bitten by Polly Roger, which infects him; afterwards, Diddy spreads the disease to Krusha, who then spreads it to King K. Rool, both via sneezing. Fortunately, thanks to Donkey Kong, the three victims are cured before the disease completes its final, fatal stages.

From what little is known and stated about the disease, birds such as Tropical Toucans are potential carriers; it can be transmitted through their bites and pecks, as well as via sneezing. Its only known cure is the nectar of the rare Tin Banana Tu. A healthy diet can also prevent infection - General Klump explains that he avoided catching it by eating at least one-hundred garlic cloves every day.
