Hey, DK!

You wanna come
and see the... Whoa!

[Groaning]

Diddy, you okay?

Speak to me, little buddy.

Speak to me!

Only one thing worse than a

bruised banana; a bruised butt.

[Giggling]



Some best pal,
tricking me like that.

I got you good didn"t I?

[Laughing]

Yeah, you did.

Guess I better clean these peels

up before something
really bad happens.

Whoa!

[Crashing]

Hold on, big buddy.

I"m coming!

DK?

DK, are you okay?

Oh, DK, speak to me, bestest pal

in the whole world!

Speak to me!

[Groaning]

Huh?

Who are you?

Who am I?

I"m Diddy.

Your bestest pal in the whole

world, remember?

Diddy?

Oh.

[Laughing]

I get it now.

You"re trying to trick me.

Aren"t you, Donkey Kong?

"Donkey Kong?"

[Gasping]

Jumping banana bugs!

Oh, DK, you"ve lost your memory!

Cranky!

"Cranky?"

Is that my name?

No!

Oh, never mind.

Just don"t move till I get back.

You"ve got problems.

I say he"s the one
with the problems.

Oh, that Donkey Kong!

Is there some sort of rule that

says boyfriends
always have to be late?

Well, this time I"m not taking

"Gee, sorry Candy,
I forgot" for an answer.

That big ape might not know it,

but he"s in big trouble!

KUTLASS: If we digs any

deeper, we"ll sink the island.

GREEN KROC: Aye.

Are you sure we buried our

treasure here,
Kaptain Skurvy, sir?

Aye, "X" marks the spot.

It be buried here, positively.

Why, I"d even stake my

reputation as the
scurviest seadog on it.

I"d... But even so,
you might wants to

take a little look,
um... Over thar".

Why does we bury the treasure,
Kaptain?

"Why does we bury the treasure?"

Kutlass, tell Mr. Green Kroc

here why we be buryin" treasure.

[Hemming]

According to Section Three,

Paragraph Four of the Pirate

Handbook, "any and all treasure

acquired by ill-gotten means

shall and will be

systematically buried," sir.

So, there be your answer, Mr.

Green Kroc, smarty boots!

Now, and not another word.

But if we just be
digging it up again...

Are your ears full of cotton,
sailor?

DK: Excuse me, fellas.

[Gasping]

Maybe you can help me out.

I don"t know who I am.

Help you out?

Why,
I"d sooner run ye through with...

Don"t know who ye be?

You see, I got bumped on the

head, and now... Who am I?

You"re Donkey... Kroc!

Huh?

Aye, Donkey Croc.

Me own first mate.

But I"m your first...

Surely you must remember Mr.

Green Kroc and me
second mate Kutlass?

Donkey Croc?

I"m a pirate?

You say he landed on his head?

Yeah.

Good thing, otherwise he

might"ve hurt himself.

What do we do, Cranky?

He must"ve wandered off.

Find Funky.

Use his plane for an air search.

Good idea.

This better not be Donkey

Kong trying to trick me so he

can forget about the 20 bananas

he owes me, or I"ll give him

something he"ll never forget.

DK: You know, the thing I

don"t remember
most is being a croc.

You sure I"m not
some kind of monkey?

Oh, you be as croc as they

come, Donkey Croc.

Here, sees for yourself.

SKURVY: Har, har, har.

[Snarling]

Well, Donkey Croc, ready for

some piratin"?

Aye-aye, nose-nose,
throat-throat.

Ablast, me hardlies, and shiver

me tree trunks.

Arrh.

A scurvy pirate takes silver, a

lowdown bilge rat takes gold,

but there be only one prize for

the lowest of the low pirate

scumdog such as ye, Donkey Croc.

The Crystal Coconut.

The gem what holds the power of

the Seven Seas.

DK: Aye-aye,
nose-nose, throat-throat.

[Laughing]

Uh, any idea where I might be

finding one of them coconuts?

Draw him a map.

FUNKY: Any sign of him,
Diddy dude?

No, Funky.

Oh, wait, I see something!

Whoa, pirates!

FUNKY: Whoa!

The peg leg,
eye-patchin" dudes are back!

DIDDY: We"d better warn Cranky.

With DK lost, the Crystal

Coconut is in danger.

Roger.

Over and out.

[Diddy screaming]

My favourite banana necklace

is gone and whoever
stole it left this.

EDDIE: Club!

Club gone!

Eddie club gone!

Thief leave... thief leave...

Thief leave snack.



DK: Har, har, har, har.

KLUMP: He stole your throne,

King K. Rool, sir.

Donkey Kong stole your throne!

I"m aware of that, General

Klump, but the question I want

answered is why.

CRANKY: Pirates, eh?

Without question!

Crocs of the
skull-and-crossbone variety.

And still no sign of DK!

Then who"s gonna protect the

Crystal Coconut?!

Ya-ha!

Donkey Kong to the rescue!

I"ll take that.

Was he... wearing an eye patch?

[Propellers whizzing]

DK: The name"s Donkey Croc.

[Laughing]

The Donkey dude
thinks he"s a pirate dude.

And he just pirated
the Crystal Coconut.

DIDDY: Now what do we do?

SKURVY: A pretty good day"s

piratin" I'd say, Donkey Ko...

I mean, Croc.

[Laughing]

Now, what be we doin", lads?

Section Three, Paragraph

Four, Kaptain Skurvy, sir.

[Groaning]

Gift-wrap it?

Bury it,
you walnut-brained bottom-feeder.

We be pirates, it be treasure,

so we be buryin" the treasure.

All except this, of course.

[Laughing]

ROOL: So, that"s it.

There"s the reason Donkey Kong

took my throne.

Uh, he... uh... wanted a seat?

No, you knucklehead!

For some reason, Donkey Kong

thinks he"s a pirate, so he's

pirating everything
that"s not glued down.

Or maybe he"s brainy-washed.

Something only
you"d be immune too.

Uh,
he... he could be "hypotized'.

Whatever!

The question now is how can we

move this turn of events to get

the Crystal Coconut
into my claws?

CRANKY: Ah, here it is.

Memory loss.

It says, "A recently lost memory

can be restored by..."

How, Cranky?

How?

That"s it!

DIDDY: What"s it?

[Chewing]

[Sighing]

SKURVY: Arrh?

Maybe we should get him to

dig the holes before
we get rid of him.

Aye, but I can"t stands any

more of that monkey
stuff on my ship.

Easy for you to say, you just

hold the map,
you don"t have to dig.

What be that, third mate?

Ahoy, Donkey Croc.

I be needin" you to
do me another favour.

More booty, Kaptain?

Narrh, this time, lad.

I want ye to go ashore and

capture a scurvy seadog, goes by

the name of Donkey Kong.

[Laughing]

Aye-aye,
nose... Just get on with it!

[Laughing]

The landlubber"s
goin' to hunt heself.

[Laughing]

Donkey Kong had an accident?

Is he okay, Cranky?

Well, he got whacked on the

head, lost his memory, thinks

he"s a pirate, stole the Crystal

Coconut,
and now we can"t find him.

According to my book, we"ve only

got one hope.

You want me to bonk
him on the head again?

If that"s all it took to get

his memory back,
I"d do it myself.

With pleasure.

I"m afraid it's not that simple.

Guess I should"ve asked the

Kaptain for a map or something.

Where on Earth have you been?

Arrh.

You"ve got me confused
with someone else.

I"m Donkey Croc, the pirate...

Arrh... and I"m looking for

Donkey Kong the...
[Screeching]... ape.

No, you"re not.

I"m not?

No, you"re Donkey Rool.

[Rool laughing]

It"s been a long time since

you"ve done a job for me,
Donkey Rool.

If you say it has.

You wouldn"t, by any chance,

know where you could get your

hands on, say... a Crystal

Coconut, would you?

I know just where one is.

I thought you might.



Lay it on him, Diddy dude.

Before you take another step,

I want you to try to remember

the time we were trapped

together in those barrels.

SKURVY: Well, me little

guppies, let"s see you get out

of this one.

Arrh.

Let us go, Skurvy!

Oh, I"ll let you go.

You will?

Just as soon as I find some

shark-infested waters!

[Laughing]

And now, with Donkey Kong out

of my way, nothing can stop me.

Except me, squidface.

Donkey Kong?

I"m sorry,
did I interrupt something?

Get those knuckle-draggin"

landlubbers.

[Shouting]

I need some backup here!

Stand still.

DIDDY: Help!

You were saying?

Banana slamma!

Remember?

Sorry, no.

Now, if you don"t mind...

FUNKY: Try trippin" back to

when you were movin" and

groovin" in the Temple of the

Inka Dinka dude.

Is it me or does the floor

seem a little narrow?

Why look at the negative, DK?

Yeah.

Besides, we"re monkeys.

To us, that"s a highway.

Well, here goes.

A little drum music,
if you please.



Let me know if you
see... anything.

DK, duck!

Whoa!

Don"t stop!

Keep movin"!

Let your body do the brainwork!

Banana slamma!

Nuh-uh, not me.

Oh, come on!

There"s got to be
something you remember!

Something that"ll convince you

you"re not Donkey
Croc the pirate.

Well, of course I"m not

Donkey Croc the pirate.

I"m Donkey Rool.

DIDDY: "Donkey Rool"?

Gotta run.

I"m on my way to the Crystal

Coconut for King K. Rool.

This is even worse!



CRANKY: Hold it right there!

Not another one.

Listen, old-timer, before you

try to tell me I"m someone I'm

not,
I"ll tell you exactly who I am.

I"m Donkey Rool.

"Donkey Rool"?

Boy,
this doesn"t get any easier.

I"ll have to pull out
the heavy artillery.

Need a hand lifting it,
old-timer?

He sure didn"t lose
any of his intellect.

Knock off the "old-timer" stuff

and listen to me.

You"re Donkey Kong, and you're

going to remember
the time when...

[Screaming]

Save me!

We"re all doomed!

DK: Banana slamma!

[Squawking]

He who laughs
last... Laughs best.

Ha!

Why, you little...!

DIDDY: DK, over!



No!

DIDDY: DK!

DK: "The curse of the double

doubloon can easily be reversed.

Read these words and you will

see your island is
no longer cursed."

DIDDY: Ya-ha!

Donkey Kong saves the day!

CRANKY: Ya-hee!

I knew I could
make you remember!

You"re Donkey...!

DK: Rool.

Okay, that"s it.

I thought I could do it, but

like the book says, if

anything"s going to do it,
it's this.

Hi, Donkey Kong.

Remember, me?

Surely you must remember your

old sweetie pie.

Forget my old sweetie pie,
who are you?

What?!

My name"s Donkey Rool.

What"s yours?

This is hopeless!

I am your old sweetie pie,

you... you... big
banana for brains!

Gee, what happened?

What did you hit me with,
Cranky?

CRANKY: I didn"t hit you with

anything,
you big... Cranky, wait.

Did you call him "Cranky"?

Sure I did, Candy.

I was gonna call him something

else, but... you were present.

What are you staring at?

You look like you don"t
remember who I am.

I"m Donkey Kong,
your boyfriend, Candy.

Oh, yay, he"s back!

I love you, Donkey Kong.

Yeah!

Where did I go?

No time to explain now.

You"ve got to get the Crystal

Coconut back from those pirates.

"Pirates"?

Don"t worry, I have a plan.

DK: Avast, me lardlubbers!

Walk the plank!

Thar" be a king gator, what goes

by the name Rool, closing in on

us in the company of an army of

killer crocs!

Hoist anchor!

Full sails ahead!

Save your scurvy hide before

it"s too late!

I"ll hide the treasure.

Don"t worry, "X" marks the spot.

But... Cast off!

DK: King K. Rool, King K.

Rool!

ROOL: Donkey Ko... [Hemming]...

I mean, Donkey Rool.

You"re back.

Where"s the Crystal Coconut?

I had to hide it.

There are pirates everywhere.

It"s in a secret place.

"X" marks the spot.

Boy, it sure is nice having the

Crystal Coconut back.

You can say that again.

Boy, it sure is nice having...

And to think that all this

trouble started "cause DK was

careless with his banana peels!

I"ve learned my lesson, Diddy.

From now on, I put my banana

peels where they belong.

DIDDY: Gee, where"s that, DK?



Skurvy, you pestering pirate!

Arrh, K. Rool, you bilge rat!

BOTH: It"s mine!

Whoa!

[Sniffing]

[Chewing]

[Sighing]

[Whooping]
