==Plot Synopsis==
==Plot synopsis==

Candy is excited that Donkey Kong can finally spend the entire day with her, without any interruptions, as they are about to head out on a cruise.

[[Donkey Kong]] and [[Candy Kong]] are inside [[DK's Tree House|DK's tree house]]. Candy is excited that Donkey Kong can finally spend the entire day with her, without any interruptions, as they are about to head out on a cruise. When DK states this, Candy believes him to be making a promise, and just as they are about to kiss, [[Cranky Kong|Cranky]] in hologram form shows up and demands that Donkey Kong head over to his cabin immediately. DK heads off, attempting to explain things to Candy, but failing, then stating he will be back soon, leaving her still mad at the tree house.


Meanwhile, [[King K. Rool]] is complaining about how [[General Klump]] is late. [[Krusha (character)|Krusha]] suggests that this may be because he got "the big hand and the little hand on the clock mixed up," (as well as that he does). After a while, Klump arrives in a [[Mine Cart|mine cart]], and when Krusha stands in front of him to stop him, he runs into Klump. K. Rool wishes for a "full damage report," and Klump examines Krusha, but K. Rool states that he meant the mine cart. Klump then states that it was hard for him to find the cart, but a voice retorts that it was harder for him to control. Klump is shocked when he figures out that Krusha was speaking to him; getting hit by the mine cart made him intelligent. He then reminds K. Rool that he was about to elaborate on his plan. K. Rool is also surprised about this, and is then glad.

Klump then yells at Krusha that it was hard for him to find the cart, though Krusha retorts that it was apparently harder for him to control. Shocked that it was Krusha that had spoken to him just then, he and the king figure out that being hit by the mine cart resulted in an increase in his intelligence, K. Rool especially pleased with this outcome.


At Cranky's Cabin, Donkey Kong is disappointed to hear that the call to the cabin was really a false alarm. Cranky sends him out, reminding him that guarding the [[Crystal Coconut]] is his responsibility until the day he is made ruler of [[Donkey Kong Island|Kongo Bongo Island]]. Donkey Kong then heads off, asking Cranky to not send another false alarm.

Out in the forest, the plan has been set up; the Candy robot is inside a mine cart, prepared for the moment Donkey Kong shows up. Klump then shows up and states that Donkey Kong is nearly there, but Krusha assures him that everything is ready. After a brief examination of the mine cart, Klump notices something flashing attached to the back of the kart, though Krusha does not tell him what it is. They then hear something moving out in the forest, and hide before [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] show up. Diddy is surprised to see that Candy has taken a mine cart, and the robot repeats her programed phrase, offering them a ride. Dixie Kong is suspicious, noticing that she isn't acting normal, and Klump, worried that their plan will be ruined, runs out and scares them. They hop inside the mine cart, and head off with the robot. He tries to stop them, but fails. Klump does not know what he is going to tell the king, and Krusha suggests telling him the truth: that Klump ruined the plan. Disappointed, Krusha walks off, with Krusha stating that he "certainly [hasn't] botched [his]."

Donkey Kong is running back to Candy Kong, but is stopped when he sees Diddy and Dixie riding in the mine cart with the Candy robot, and is confused. However, the two young Kongs then notice that the robot is glitching again. Diddy then notes that there are no breaks, and the two scream as they continue along.

At K. Rool's lair, Klump has just told the king that he ruined his plan, and K. Rool is mad at him. He asks how he is going to obtain the Crystal Coconut now, but Krusha retorts that he isn't, and that he won't succeed in doing so. Krusha then explains that he added a bomb to the mine cart, stating that if it stops, the bomb detonates. Klump then reminds him that Diddy and Dixie are in the cart instead of Donkey Kong, but Krusha disregards this and heads off to collect "[his] coconut." K. Rool is enraged, but Krusha threatens him, and he nervously sends Klump to help him obtain the coconut.

Line 39: Line 41:
In the caverns, Krusha and Klump switch tracks, while K. Rool and Diddy pass by them, K. Rool angered for having lost them. The mine cart then stops in the lair, and Krusha states that he has thought of a new plan to obtain the Crystal Coconut, destroy Donkey Kong and friends, and take over the world, as well as save K. Rool, per Klump's suggestion. However, before he can tell him the plan, he is run over by the mine cart with K. Rool and Diddy. When Klump asks him about the plan, he finds out that Krusha is dumb once again. Not lingering on this for too long, Klump and Krusha head off to save K. Rool.

Diddy and K. Rool's cart at this point heads out of the caverns. K. Rool notes that the cart is heading toward the beach, where the tracks end and where they will stop. However, above, the two see Donkey Kong and Candy Kong in [[Bluster Kong|Bluster]]'s barrelcopter. The two save Diddy, leaving K. Rool inside the mine cart. Soon after, Klump and Krusha, tired from running, catch up to him. The mine cart pulls to a stop as soon as it hits the beach's sand, but the bomb does not detonate; Klump notes that it was a dud. K. Rool then insults Krusha, stating that, even though he was a genius, he couldn't make an exploding bomb, and the three leave. However, it is at this moment that the bomb explodes.

Back at Donkey Kong's treehouse, DK apologizes for not being able to spend any time with Candy without an interruption separating them. However, after Candy sings a song, she and DK look at the night sky as fireworks explode overhead.
