Cranky's Cabin
Cranky's Cabin is the home of Cranky Kong is Donkey Kong Country. Although it appears to be situated in the Kongo Jungle, Cranky appears to have a cabin in each area of Donkey Kong Island, all of which are strangely surrounded by jungle foliage.
Visiting Cranky's Cabin is entirely optional, for all that Cranky has to offer for Donkey and Diddy Kong is advice. He mainly gives hints as to where the Kongs can find hidden Bonus Areas and Animal Tokens, mostly within the Kongo Jungle.
In addition to his advice, Cranky, who doesn't like having visitors, lives up to name by complaining, often breaking the Fourth Wall in the process. He will constantly whine to Donkey and Diddy about how the games from his glory days (such as the original Donkey Kong) are better than the newfangled "easy games" that are coming out. Cranky will also complain about the modern graphics, and how they're too bright and colorful for his old eyes.
Once the Kongs defeat King K. Rool and recover the stolen Bananas, they will take a trip to Cranky's Cabin, where the old ape will congratulate them, and comment on whether or not they found all of the Bonus Areas in the game. Afterwards, he will tell the Kongs to return to the Banana Hoard, so they can see that it's been replenished.
