-'''Wrinkly Kong''' (also known as '''Mrs. Kong'''<ref>'''Cranky's words''': "''Sure beats a visit from Mrs. Kong! How can I help you?''" - ''Donkey Kong Country''</ref>) is a character in the [[Donkey Kong (franchise)|''Donkey Kong'' franchise]] who was the wife of [[Cranky Kong]] and an ally of the [[Kong]]s. Her first appearance is in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Even though Wrinkly is deceased in her later appearances, she continues to support the Kongs as a ghost.

-In her debut appearance, Wrinkly runs a school named the [[Kong Kollege]], where she can save [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]]'s game for two [[Banana Coin]]s (one Banana Coin in the Japanese version). Like Cranky's [[Monkey Museum]], Wrinkly provides hints ranging from free of charge or a few Banana Coins.

+In the [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], Diddy and Dixie can request homework from Wrinkly, where their assignment is to entirely fill a [[Scrapbook (Donkey Kong Country series)|Scrapbook]] with all 40 [[photograph]]s.

 In the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], Wrinkly's role has been lessened. She only runs a single sanctuary, named [[Wrinkly's Retreat]], from the main [[Northern Kremisphere]] map. There her only purpose is taking care of the Banana Birds rescued by Dixie and [[Kiddy Kong]]. As with ''Donkey Kong Country 2''{{'}}s Game Boy Advance remake, Wrinkly no longer saves the player's progress, which is instead done from the world map's {{button|GBA|Start}} menu.

-In ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', Wrinkly retains her role of saving the Kongs' progress in ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', though a big difference is she no longer cares for the Banana Birds, which do not appear in the game. She does not perform various activities and is always sitting awake on her couch.
+In the [[Donkey Kong Land (series)|''Donkey Kong Land'' series]], Wrinkly's role is consistent with her appearances in each game's corresponding ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' counterpart.

In ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', Wrinkly retains her role of saving the Kongs' progress in ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', though a big difference is she no longer cares for the Banana Birds, as they do not make a reappearance. Additionally, Wrinkly does not perform various activities and is always sitting awake on her couch. One of Wrinkly's lines has a misspelling of [[Kremling]]: "Keep an eye out for those Kremlins!".

-===="Donkey Kong in: Banana Day 24"====
 Wrinkly is briefly seen in the ending of the ''[[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' comic, "[[Donkey Kong in: Banana Day 24]]", quarreling with Cranky. It is strongly implied that the reason is because Cranky kissed a random girl out of enthusiasm that [[Earth]] was saved.

 In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', Wrinkly is revealed to have died some time after the events of ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' and appears as a ghost. In every level's lobby, the active [[Kong]] can talk to Wrinkly from one of the five color-coded [[Wrinkly Door]]s. If the Kong steps in front of a Wrinkly Door of their color, a ghostly sound effect plays and Wrinkly comes out from the door. She gives a hint to that Kong on how they can obtain a [[Golden Banana]]. When talking to Wrinkly, a slower and major key version of [[Cranky's Lab]] plays. Her appearance as a ghost in this game would later continue into her future appearances.

-Wrinkly Kong's appearance has changed many times over the years, but has been consistent since ''[[DK: King of Swing]]''.
+Back when she was alive, Wrinkly Kong was an old [[Kong]] with a similar build to her husband Cranky Kong. She is covered in brown fur, has grey hair on her head and she also wears glasses. In her debut in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', she wore a green blanket. In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', she wears a white and purple gymnastics outfit that has dark gray fur armbands, and also wears white and purple sneakers and a white and purple headband. In the [[Game Boy Advance|GBA]] remake of ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', she only wears a white coat and does not wear any shoes.
