Legend of the Crystal Coconut was the episode of the Donkey Kong Country TV series that aired on the 29th of December, 1998.
Plot Synopsis
It begins with Donkey Kong and Diddy bothing Cranky about the Crystal Coconut. Donkey Kong wants more than anything to learn the secrets of the Crystal Coconut, so after misreading the Inka Dinka Doo's message he gives the Coconut to K. Rool's henchmen, Krusha and General Klump. K. Rool asks Krusha and Klump how they apprehended the Coconut. Klump tells K. Rool that DK just gave it to them. K. Rool does not believe that Donkey Kong would have just given them the Coconut and has them take it back. Kaptain Skurvy and his crew seek also the Coconut and go after it, Scurvy complaining about his sore tooth the whole time. After they all go back and forth trying to get the Crystal Coconut, Donkey Kong, Diddy, Cranky, and the pirates end up in the temple. After hitting Kaptain Skurvy with the coconut, knocking out his tooth in the process, they force him to hold up to an earlier promise to grant any favor to whoever could rid him of the pain of his toothache. He does, but vows to return.
