[Scene: Cranky's Cabin]

SONG: "I'm Cranky"  Lyrics 
(Cranky sings about what makes him so great)

Cranky: "For example you come to see the most prized possession on the entire island, who do you come to see? Me! Well now that we've got that straight, give your eyeballs a swing over there..."
   <Cranky gestures to the Crystal Coconut's case>
Cranky: "It's magical, it's mysterious, it's the 8th and a half wonder of the world... The Crystal Coconut! This is no ordinary crystal - it's a fortune teller, a teleporter, a power supplier and a wish fulfiller! In other words, whoever's got the coconut... rules. Step right up and take a closer look, the crystal will explain it all..."
   <CC displays a lifelike moving image of DK>
Cranky: "That's Donkey Kong- the strongest, brawniest, hippest ape in all of Kongo Bongo. Our protector, and future king. Got a lot of muscle mass, but eh... not so much brain mass."
   <DK in coconut gives a dejected look>
Cranky: "But he is the Bongo-biggie, the top banana that can keep the Crystal Coconut safe and sound and out of the wrong claws... Whose claws?"
   <Coconut displays a likeness of King K. Rool>
Cranky: "That slimy, scaly, foul-breathed lizard, King K. Rool. Professional bad-guy, the big-daddy of evil..."
K. Rool: (heard from outside Cranky's) "Hip hup, hip hup, hip hup, hip hup..."
Cranky: "K'rool! He's here!"
   <view shifts to outside, showing K. Rool and Klump leading a Kritter march>
K. Rool: "...Hip hup, hip hup, what ya got?"
Kritters: "A big fat gut!"
K. Rool: "Hip hup, hip hup, what ya got? Hip hup, hip hup..."
Kritters: "Not a lot"
K. Rool: "Kritters... Halt! General Klump - I order you to seize the coconut."
Klump: "Kritters! Klaptrap weapons at the ready!"
   <view zooms inside the barrel of a Klap-blaster>
Klaptrap 1: "Oh wow! Nice fat target!"
Klaptrap 2: "How can we miss?"
Klump: "Not me, you idiots! At Cranky's Cabin!"
   <Klump runs to the side to avoid being Klap-blasted while Kritters fire multiple volleys of Klaptraps at Cranky's roof>
Cranky: "Hey, you mutant newts! You over-grown, spineless salamanders! Get away from there! Donkey Kong, where are you?!"


[Scene: DK's Treehouse]

DK: (Examining tie collection) "Mmm, why do I always have to start the day with a tough decision? Hmm... Hmmm..."
   <doorbell rings>
Diddy: "Hey DK, it's me - Diddy! Ye-yeah yeah, yeah! Down here!"
DK: "Hey Diddy! Come on up little buddy!"
Diddy: "What in this thing?"
   <Diddy gestures to DK's notoriously problematic elevator system>
Diddy: "I don't know, DK... I'm a little nervous... Uh, my knees are starting to chatter here after what happened last time...
DK: "It's cool, that's been fixed. Hop in and I'll buzz you up!"
Diddy: "Okay, if you say so DK, okay but go easy 'cause sometimes DK, ya ya ya, ya- no offense here but you get a little out of control!"
   <DK punches elevator button, which springs Diddy up at high speed in the elevator barrel. The barrel hits the magnetic brace and bounces back down, smashing to the ground. Then the magnetic brace falls on top of Diddy, squashing him.>
Cranky: (voice echoing across the plains) "Donkey Kong! Help!"
   <DK jumps down from the tree house>
DK: "We gotta bust a move, Diddy - Cranky needs our help. You comin' or what?"
Diddy: (from under magnetic brace) "Right behind ya, DK."

[Scene: Forest]

   <DK and Diddy swing from vine to vine on their way to Cranky's>
Cranky: (Voice echoing through the jungle) "Donkey Kong!"
DK: "Hang on Cranky, we're comin'!"


[Scene: Outside Cranky's Cabin]

Klump: "Follow me, we're um, movin' in! Hip-hup. Hip-hup!"
DK: "Bananaaaa Slamma!!!"
   <DK and Diddy freefall through the treetops towards Cranky's Cabin>
Diddy: "Rap 'em, mash 'em, crush 'em to smithereens!"
Klump: "No mercy!" (to himself) "This is my finest hour."
   <DK lands on a trigger barrel flinging Klump and a couple of Kritters screaming into the wilderness>
Diddy: (Jumps on a trigger barrel) "Banana slamma!"
   <Even more Kritters are sent flying>
3 Kritters: "Hip-hup, hip-hup!"
Kritter 1: "Eeeps!" (falls down gap in boardwalk)
Kritter 2: "Hip- double eeps!" (falls down also)
Kritter 3: "Huh- WAAAHHH!" (falls down also)
DK: (Jumping from trigger to trigger) "Now for my double slamma bananarama bonanza!"
   <Still more Kritters are thrown about>
K. Rool: (Notices that all his troops are MIA) "Mummy?"
Diddy: "Hey- K'rool! What's up?
K. Rool: (Laughs) "Donkey Kong, Diddy... um, um... uh it was a good match - you won, I lost, good sportsmanship and all that." (pretends to be sobbing) I'm just an under-privileged reptile, let's blame it on my genes. We're uh..."
   <One last trap is triggered and sends K. Rool flying into the jungle, screaming>
Diddy: (Laughs) "You did it! You did it, DK! You saved the coconut!" (laughs)
Cranky: (Slowly and condescendingly) "Do you think you two apes can break up your party long enough to fix up my roof? Preferably before K'rool comes back! Because you can bet he will..."


[Scene: K. Rool's Lair]

K. Rool: "I need that blasted coconut! Without it I'm nothing but a lowly lizard. A pre-historic throwback! I'm ordering you to eliminate... exterminate... ANNIHILATE that simple-minded ape!"
Klump: "But he eliminated, uh, exterminated and, uh, yes, annihilated your entire army. He's invincible"
K. Rool: "It's the bananas that make him invincible. But what if..."
Klump: "Yes?"
K. Rool: "What if we cast a spell... a curse?
Klump: "Uh, a curse?
   <K. Rool presses a button, activating his hidden library which drops a book at his feet, nearly hitting Klump in the head>
K. Rool: "Yes... a curse... Here it is- Curse Your Way to the Top: Success Through Voodoo." (reading from book) "Tired of looking like a goof? Sick of those pesky hunks showing you up time and time again? Try this foolproof curse." "Yesss..." (from book) "While cutting the obnoxious lout's hair, chant 'snip, clip, power slip, you're a wimp and that's it!' - he'll be left as weak as a baby and-" (laughs evilly) "Listen to this-" (from book) "his strength will not return unless his hair grows back!" "That's it! Cut Donkey Kong's hair, and before it grows back, I'll have the coconut!"
Klump: (backing away) "But uh... who will, uh... cut his hair?"
K. Rool: "It's so obvious- the only person he'll let get close enough to him. You wouldn't know a good plan if it hit you in the head!"
Klump: "I would too. If it hit me in the head."
   <K. Rool throws the curse book at Klump, hitting him in the head>


[Scene: DK's Treehouse]

Diddy: (whistles) "Lookin' fine DK! What's up?"
DK: "I've gotta look good."
Diddy: "You do?"
DK: "But I gotta look especially smooth. I'm droppin' in on Candy - it's her birthday."
Diddy: "Candy. Candy, Candy! She's just a girl, DK. You can't have fun with a girl like we do!"
DK: "She's the girl o' my dreams! If only I could get her away from-"


[Scene: Bluster Barrel Works]

Cranky: (sitting on conveyor belt) "Bluster Barrel Works"
   <Cranky screams as he falls through the lumber chute, into the barrel factory>
Cranky: "It's right here, in this very place that they build the barrels."
   <Cranky screams again as a barrel is formed around him>
Cranky: "Unfortunately, the place is run by that upwardly-mobile jerk, Bluster."
   <The barrel containing Cranky is sealed shut, muffling his voice>
Cranky: "When it comes to Candy, Bluster is Donkey Kong's biggest competition. She's got a soft-spot for DK, but then, Bluster's got the goodies, and someday the Bluster barrel works."
Bluster: "Candy!
Cranky: "Uh-oh, here comes the boss."
Bluster: "Hey, Candy. Surprise!"
Candy: "A birthday cake. How original, Bluster."
Bluster: "Yes, I am a thoughtful son-of-a-gun. Happy birthday! Banana cream, your favourite!"
Candy: (sighs) "Rejected- watching my figure..."
Bluster: (creepier than usual voice) "Don't bother- I'm watching it for ya!"
Candy: "I don't think so."
   <Candy directs the cake onto a conveyor belt>
Bluster: "The machine! No!"
   <Bluster punches the emergency stop button just in time>
Bluster: "Phew. That was close. So! Are we gonna go back to my place on the Copa Banana, or what?"
Candy: "I made... plans."
Bluster: (points) "With him?"
Candy: "Hi Donkey Kong."
   <DK is sitting on the conveyor belt, coming towards Candy and Bluster>
DK: "Happy birthday, Candy."
Bluster: "You can't be serious! I try to do nice things, but no..."
DK: "I brought you these!" (holds out a bunch of sugar bananas on a stick)
   <Sound of cake splatting can be heard in background>
DK: "Oooh! I was gonna get you a cake, but I see you already got one."
   <Bluster walks off in a huff after giving Candy a face full of cake>
Candy: (muffled by cake) "Donkey Kong! Every single time you show up things just fall apart! Both of you are just a couple of pains in the butt!"
   <Candy hits the 'go' button>
DK: "Yikes!"
   <DK gets bonked on the head by the 'NO' stamp>
DK: "Ouch. "
Candy: "You're outta here!"
   <DK's sent toward the barrel busting machine>
DK: "I guess this means our date's off, huh?"


[Scene: K. Rool's Lair]

K. Rool: "General Klump! How's the plan coming along? Is it done yet? Hm?"
Klump: "This is your finest hour."
   <Kritter engineers reveal what they have been working on - the Candy Clone>
K. Rool: "Oh my! Despite the head not being attached, she does look real..." (to disembodied head) "Hello, I'm King K'rool. What's your name?"
   <Candy Clone's eyes open, causing K. Rool to gasp with surprise>
Candy Clone: "My name's Candy, happy to meet you!"
K. Rool: "She's perfect! Put her head back on."
Klump: "You heard 'im troops, attach head!"
   <Kritters screw the clone's head back into place>
Kritter: "Operation attach head completed, sir."

SONG: "Candy Kong's Clone"  Lyrics 
(K. Rool's Candy Clone introduces herself)

K. Rool: "Bravo! She lives, she lives! She could fool any idiot!
Klump: "Fooled me!"
K. Rool: "Now snip, clip, power slip- you're a wimp and that's it! The curse on Donkey Kong, She'll cut his hair, which will cut his strength and cut him out of the picture! Ahaha!!!
   <K. Rool laughs maniacally and snips the scissors>


[Scene: DK's Treehouse]

DK: "I blew it. She's never gonna talk to me again."
Diddy: "Ah don't sweat it. You've blown it a hundred times, a thousand times, a million kajillion times!"
DK: "Thanks."
   <Doorbell rings>
Candy Clone: "Oh yoo-hoo! Donkey Kong!"
DK: "Candy! He'hey! Bananayama! Oohshy! Yamabananaza WOW!
Candy Clone: "You askin' me in or what?"
DK: "Whoops, I forgot you were here!"
   <DK punches elevator button excitedly, bringing the Candy Clone up with a jolt>
Candy Clone: "You don't know your own strength, Donkey Kong. We'll have to fix that... Snip, clip, power slip- you're a wimp, and that's it."
DK: "What?"
Candy Clone: "Snip snip, gonna clip, make you my sweet and sexy chimp."
   <DK stammers giddily>
Candy Clone: "Come here, you hunk of love..."
DK: "Okay then, chop chop."
   <Candy Clone snips away at high speed>
Diddy: "Sheesh, what a goon. Oh... I can't watch this."
Candy Clone: (giggles) "All done! That wasn't s bad, was it? Do you like it?"
   <DK strokes his head>
DK: "Smooth... too smooth."
Diddy: "Oh no- geek alert."
DK: "I just don't feel like myself."
Candy Clone: "Trust me- you'll get used to it. Well, I'm outta here."
DK: "I'll get the elevator for ya."
Candy Clone: "Sure ya will."
   <DK punches the elevator button, but nothing happens>
DK: "Huh?"
Diddy: "Double huh."
   <DK tries again repeatedly>
Candy Clone: "Let me try, Donkey Kong."
   <Candy Clone taps it, and it works fine>
Candy Clone: "Nothing to it, you'd better take it easy, DK."
DK: "She's right, I'm pooped!"
Diddy: "But DK, how could that be? What happened? You're the strongest ape in all of Kongo Bongo!"
DK: "Beats me, but-but I'm beat!"


[Scene: Outside Cranky's Cabin]

K. Rool: "Company halt! Cranky, oh Cranky! Come and meet and greet the new ruler of Kongo Bongo!"
Cranky: (condescendingly) "Don't you ever give up?"
K. Rool: "Never give up when victory's at hand. KRUSHA!!"
   <Krusha steps up, looking huge and menacing>
Krusha: "Your majesty called."
K. Rool: "Go on, boy, fetch the coconut."
Cranky: "Your big oaf is no match for mine. DONKEY KONG!! Help!"
   <DK and Diddy come swinging through the jungle>
Cranky: Donkey Kong! Where are you?"
DK: "Banana slamma! In your tracks, Krusha. This is gonna hurt me more than it's gonna hurt you."
Cranky: "Just label him, will ya."
DK: "I'm gonna give you one last chance. Step back, make a run for it! Okay, okay! Here it comes!
   <DK pummels Krusha in the stomach with all his might>
Krusha: "Oh, you're ticklin' me!"
DK: "Here it comes... That was a warm up. I'm gonna give it to ya right now... Okay."
   <Krusha punches DK, knocking him through Cranky's doors>
Cranky: "Donkey Kong!
   <DK thuds into the Crystal Coconut's case, opening it>
Cranky: "Get up Donkey Kong!"
   <K. Rool and Krusha walk in to take the coconut>
Cranky: "Get up, Donkey Kong! Get up!"
K. Rool: "You can't stop me now, Cranky! I win- you lose!"
Cranky: "Stop right there! I'm warning you!"
   <K. Rool and Krusha walk out with the coconut, laughing>
Cranky: "You scum-sucking, rancid reptiles!"
   <DK stumbles around dizzily>
Cranky: (quietly) "This is bad. Really, really bad." (to DK) "What happened?"
DK: "Ever since Candy cut my hair and told me she wanted to make me her little love slave..."
Cranky: "Your hair?"
DK: "Yeah. Don't laugh. She gave me the once-over makeover."
Cranky: "Do I look like I'm laughing? You're under her curse!"
Diddy: (looking into the sky) "Hey, someone's coming! It's Funky Kong- he's coming in for a landing!"
Cranky: "He's gonna land on us!"
Diddy: "Veer left!"
Cranky & Diddy: "Veer left Funky!"
   <Funky lands neatly in front of the Kong trio>
Diddy: "Sheesh, that was near death!"
Funky: "Hey dudes, it's chaos all over the island! K'rool's got the coconut?"
Diddy: "It's true, we're all doomed."
DK: "Everyone knows already? Yeesh."
Funky: "Hop in and I'll cruise you to the mellow-yellow plantation."
DK: "Yeah! Bananas! They always do the trick!"
Cranky: "Don't count on it..."
Funky: "Hang tight, take offs are a little rocky."
   <Funky turns plane around>
Diddy: "Um, how rocky?"
Funky: "Nothing I can't handle!"
Diddy: "Oh maybe maybe I should stay behind, yeah sit this one out."
Funky: "Too late."
   <Plane stalls just after take off, Funky just manages to pull out of a nose dive>
Diddy & DK: "Waaaaaa!"


[Scene: Inside Cranky's Cabin]

Cranky: (mumbling to himself) "Bananas. Fat chance. Now for my voodoo undo!"
   <Cranky's potion lab lowers for Cranky to begin concocting>


[Scene: Banana plantation]

   <Funky, DK & Diddy fly above the Kongo Bongo banana plantation>
Funky: "Banana panorama below!"
DK: "I hope this does the trick."
Diddy: "I hope we land!"
   <Funky lands in a clearing>
Funky: "Feast your eyes on those gazillions of mellow-yellows!"
Diddy: "What a gorgeous sight! Problem solved! All ya gotta do now... is chow!"
   <A few minutes later, DK sits slumped under a banana plant, stomach bulging and rumbling>
Diddy: "I don't believe it- he's eaten every single banana!" (laughs)
Funky: "And he's still a wimp."


[Scene: Cranky's Cabin]

Cranky: "Behold, the voodoo undo!"
   <Cranky looks across at Candy and Bluster, who are standing in his cabin>
Cranky: "What took you so long?"
Candy: (sighs) "Bluster didn't want to come. I had to force him."
Cranky: "Here! You have to find DK! Make him drink this. Only the person that cast the spell on him can undo the curse."
Candy: "But I didn't curse him."
Cranky: "Well, somebody who looked, talked and walked like you did."
Bluster: "She's been at the barrel works all day."
Cranky: "Then, maybe it was an imposter, a double... a Candy wannabe. Never mind, it'll still work. Move on it, go! Go, go! The fate of Kongo Bongo is in it for you! It lies in your hands!"


[Scene: K. Rool's Lair]

   <K. Rool stands on his platform, holding the Crystal Coconut>
K. Rool: "My loyal reptilian subjects, this marks a glorious day in history for all Kritters!"
   <Klump clears his throat, audibly>
K. Rool: "Because from this day forward, I am the indisputable ruler of every living being on the face of Kongo Bongo!"
Kritter: "All hail King K. Rool!"
   <Kritters cheer for their King, Klump clears his throat again>
K. Rool: "What is it, Klump?!"
Klump: "There's been a setback, uh, with your plan. Uh, my sources tell me that Cranky's cooked up an antidote to the voodoo curse."


[Scene: Above the jungle]

   <Bluster and Candy are flying in Bluster's barrel copter above the jungle>
Candy: "How are we ever gonna find Donkey Kong? He could be anywhere on the island!"
   <A war cry and the sawing of wood is heard>
Candy: "What is that?"
Bluster: "We're experiencing mechanical difficulties."
   <The rotor blades are eaten by gleeful, giggling Klaptraps>
Candy & Bluster: "Klaptraps!"
   <The barrel copter and its occupants fall to the jungle floor with a yell>


[Scene: Jungle]

Bluster: "I'm tired, my feet are sore, I have sand in my shoes and I'm thirsty! Give me that bottle!"
Candy: "No- this will save Donkey Kong!"
Bluster: "So what if K'rool wins, who cares? Donkey Kong will be out of my hair, I can't stand that guy! Now gimme that stuff!"
   <Bluster snatches the voodoo undo bottle from Candy>
Bluster: "We're not going to save Donkey Kong, no-one is..."
   <Bluster pours the potion onto the ground>
Candy: "Bluster, what are you doing?"
Bluster: "I'm top-banana now!"
   <A plant begins to grow from the ground where the potion was poured>
Bluster: "Huh, what? What's happening? Ahh! It's, it's..."
Candy: "It's the biggest, hugest, humongous banana tree I've ever seen!"


[Scene: Banana plantation]

   <DK's sitting groggily with his eyes closed>
Diddy: "Hey DK, Donkey Kong!"
DK: "What?"
Diddy: "It's a miracle, an omen, a sign from a sign place! Look- more bananas!"
DK: "No. Not another bite. It's not gonna work."
Diddy: "You have to, open up! Whatta you got to lose?
DK: (groaning) "My lunch."
Diddy: "One banana bulls-eye!"
   <Diddy shoots a banana out of its peel, straight into DK's mouth>
DK: (gulps) "Hey! Huh?"
   <DK's hair grows back almost immediately>
Diddy: "Look at your head! Your hair is growing back! (laughs)"
DK: "So are my muscles!"


[Scene: K. Rool's Lair]

K. Rool: "Here, Krusha- put my newly acquired orb of power in the royal vault for safe-keeping."
Krusha: "Absolutely, your majesty."
   <DK comes flying through a hole in the roof of K. Rool's Lair>
DK: "BANANA SLAMMA! Ready for round two, Krusha?"
Krusha: (laughs) "Back again? Once was not enough. What are ya gonna do this time, wimp?"
DK: "Oh, just this!"
   <DK kicks the coconut from Krusha's clutches, sending it through the hole in K. Rool's roof>
K. Rool: "Oh! Oh! My curse! My curse, it's been broken! Ahhh! The Crystal Coconut- gone!"


[Scene: Cranky's Cabin]

   <The coconut falls back into Cranky's Cabin through a newly made hole, and bounces back into its usual resting place>
Cranky: "Hoo-ha! Man I'm good. The big dope did it!"


[Scene: K. Rool's Lair]

DK: "Ready for round three?"
Krusha: (seeing stars) "Owww..."
K. Rool: (sobbing) "We bad guys never get a break." (sobs)
DK: "It's been fun- a real hoot, but I gotta split! I've a birthday party to go to."


[Scene: Beachfront]

Candy: "Donkey Kong, I have something for you."
DK: "Huh?"
Candy: "It's just a little present, for being such a hero."
DK: "Well gosh, thanks Candy!"
Candy Clone: "Donkey Kong, I have something for you. It's just a little present, for being such a hero."
DK: (puzzled) "Oh, mm? Two Candy's should be better than one."
Candy Clone: "You know I'm the real thing, DK."
Candy: "She's obviously the imposter that started all the trouble in the first place."
Candy Clone: (to candy) "Liar." (to DK) "Well, she's the fake."
Candy: "Don't listen to her, she is!"
DK: "Everybody, hold it! I'm not gonna fall for it twice. Even I can tell the real Candy from a fake! Easy- it's you."
   <DK points to the Candy Clone>
Candy: "Are you crazy?!"
DK: "Crazy in love enough to know the real thing when I see it!"
   <Candy throws DK's present, hitting him in the side of the head>
DK: "Owch!"
Candy: (storming off) "I never wanna see you again!"
Candy Clone: "Now that we're alone, how about a big birthday kiss!"
DK: "Woahohoho yes!"
Candy Clone: "You got it."
   <They lean forward to kiss, but the Candy Clone short-circuits and her head blows off>
DK: (covered in soot) "I'm blown away, Candy."
   <Candy Clone's head lands on the pier in front of her and DK>
DK: "Totally..." (DK notices head) "Yeesh!" (groans)

Did I spell banana wrong? Was it Klump who said <insert phrase here> instead of Krusha?
