DK and Diddy enter [[Cranky's Cabin]] later to find him searching through his cabin nervously. Diddy suggests that Cranky needs a maid service, but Cranky then shows them a letter similar to the one Donkey Kong had received earlier. DK, not thinking about the dangers of the letter, exclaims that he had gotten a letter just like it before, and Diddy announces that he has too. With a book of his, Cranky explains that every one hundred years, the ghost of Bluebeard Baboon rises from the depths of the ocean to send everyone "the curse of the double doubloon." He is angered when he finds out that Donkey Kong has read it, showing the two Kongs the Crystal Coconut, which is losing power due to the effects of the curse. If the letter is read a second time, the Crystal Coconut will lose all of its power and the island will sink into the sea, just as Bluebeard Baboon's ship did one thousand years previously. After Cranky informs them on the curse, he infers that every ape on the island had gotten the letter as well. Donkey Kong then begins to sing about the curse, and afterwards, he and Diddy head out to stop anyone from reading the letter. | DK and Diddy enter [[Cranky's Cabin]] later to find him searching through his cabin nervously.

At Bluster Barrelworks, [[Bluster Kong]] notices the letter sent to him by Bluebeard. He believes that it is a letter informing him about a "big prize," but before he can read it, DK and Diddy show up and stop him. Diddy tells him to give them the letter, but Bluster, thinking that they are trying to steal his prize, runs off. The two primates become worried that he will read the letter soon and continue to search for the letters. | At Bluster Barrelworks, [[Bluster Kong]] notices the letter sent to him by Bluebeard.

Meanwhile, King K. Rool is seen in his hideout singing about his powers with the spell book and what he will do with it, while Klump and Krusha run around the room.

Rool is seen in his hideout singing about his powers with the spell book and what he will do with it, while Klump and Krusha run around the room. At that time, Donkey and Diddy are swinging through the large jungle. The primates become discouraged from not finding Bluster Kong, until Donkey Kong mentions that he smells "cheap cologne." As he looks up, he notices Bluster, who is ready to find out what his "prize" is by reading the letter. Diddy stalls him by asking about his hair, as Donkey prepares to snatch the letter out of his hands. He is successful in doing so and he and Diddy happily continue through the jungle with the final letter, leaving a disappointed Bluster Kong. However, they are stunned to learn that there is still one more letter: Cranky Kong's. | ||
King K. Rool, at his hideout, continues to say spells at Krusha and Klump as he hovers through the air, making them act like chickens this time; Polly Roger and two Kritter minions are also affected by the spell. King K. Rool drops to the ground to notice a letter, when suddenly Cranky appears in his hologram form from the Crystal Coconut. As the Kremling tries to attack Cranky (even though he cannot hurt his hologram), he hits Polly Roger, who drops onto the fallen letter. He realizes what the letter is about and tells the Kremling about the spell. King K. Rool makes a bargain with Cranky: If the ape hands over the Crystal Coconut, the villain agrees not to read the letter, but if not, he will and sink the island. Cranky tries to knock some sense into him, explaining the crocodile will sink with the Kongs too and that the Crystal Coconut does not work anymore, but he does not change his mind. | King K.

He quickly reads the letter, still demanding the Crystal Coconut. He accidentally finishes reading it, thinking there are more words on the other side, and the Crystal Coconut loses all its power. The island starts to quake. Everyone, including King K. Rool, begins to panic, while Cranky's hologram vanishes. Donkey and Diddy, still a little calm, remember the spell in Cranky's book that reverses the spell. Donkey Kong bravely attacks the crocodile king, while Diddy grabs the spell book. Even when Polly Roger steals it off of them, Donkey recovers it, but then King K. Rool snatches it out of his hands. As the heroes and villains fight for the book, they end up sending it towards a large hole in the ground. Donkey Kong jumps in and finds the spell in the book. He quickly reads it, saving the whole island. Afterwards, the two Kongs exit the hideout, leaving King K. Rool and the others in their spellbound states. | ||
