He is also currently a widower, as his wife [[Wrinkly Kong]] is deceased. He is the elderly form of the original Donkey Kong from the [[Donkey Kong (game)|''Donkey Kong'' arcade game]] and [[Donkey Kong Jr.]]'s father,<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20081122101320/http://www.pointlessmuseum.com/museum/snesdonkeykongcountry006.php</ref> and can be described as argumentative, old, and bad-tempered. Cranky has been playable in four games, including Japan-only games. His abilities and health vary greatly in games, sometimes being unable to walk without two canes, while other times being just as athletic as the other [[Kong]]s.
