Story[]

While not displayed in game, the instruction booklet describes the story as where Cranky complains that Donkey and Diddy completed their previous adventure because of the good graphics and makes a bet with Donkey and Diddy to retrieve the Banana Hoard from King K. Rool on an 8-bit system.

Characters[]

Kongs[]

Only two of the Kong Family members make a physical appearance in the game, while Cranky himself has caused the adventure to go on and is only mentioned in the instruction booklet and not in-game.
