'''Cranky's Video Game Heroes''' is an awards ceremony hosted by [[Cranky Kong]] on [[Donkey Kong Island]]<ref>'''Cranky's words''': "''L-let's get out of t-this miserable d-dump, and g-get back t-t-to D-Donkey K-K-Kong Island!''" - ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''</ref> in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Its purpose is to see who can collect the most [[DK Coin|Video Game Hero Coin]]s. [[Diddy Kong]] participates in the event after the player completes [[K. Rool Duel]], and Cranky's Video Game Heroes can be subsequently visited by holding the {{button|snes|L}} and {{button|snes|R}} buttons from the world map. The contest shows the "video game heroes" on a podium. By default, [[Mario]] is in first place with 39 DK Coins, [[Yoshi]] is in second place with 29 Video Game Hero Coins, and [[Link]] is in third place with 19 DK Coins. If Diddy has at least 19 Video Game Hero Coins, he appears in third place on the podium, eliminating Link from the standings, and having at least 29 moves Diddy up to second place on the podium and | '''Cranky's Video Game Heroes''' is an awards ceremony hosted by [[Cranky Kong]] on [[Donkey Kong Island]]<ref>'''Cranky's words''': "''L-let's get out of t-this miserable d-dump, and g-get back t-t-to D-Donkey K-K-Kong Island!''" - ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''</ref> in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''.

If Diddy has at least 19 Video Game Hero Coins, he appears in third place on the podium, eliminating Link from the standings, and having at least 29 Video Game Hero Coins, moves Diddy up to second place on the podium and Yoshi to third place. When Diddy obtains all 40 Video Game Hero Coins, Diddy appears in first place and Mario in second, to Cranky's surprise. The bottom right corner of the area shows [[Sonic|Sonic's]] shoes and {{wp|Earthworm Jim}}'s plasma gun next to a trash can, and a sign reading "No Hopers" leans against the trash can. It can be inferred that Sonic and Earthworm Jim failed to collect enough DK Coins for the competition, and is a real world reference to Nintendo and [[Sega]]'s console rivalry at the time. | ||
The event also appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', where it has the same role. It is no longer hosted by Cranky, which is reflected by its rename to '''Video Game Heroes'''. Additionally, the trash can and the objects near it are no longer present. | The event also appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', where it has the same role.
