Plot Synopsis

The episode begins with Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong spending a day fishing. Donkey Kong unexpectedly reels in a stage bottle. Donkey Kong is ready to trash the old bottle, when Diddy notices a message inside of it. The young monkey notices that it is for Donkey Kong, so he give it to the ape to read. The apes reads "On behalf of the Federation of Future Rulers, you, Donkey Kong, have been elected future ruler of all future rulers. We would like you to report for your five year term in office tomorrow." Donkey Kong realizes that they want him to leave Kongo Bongo Island. Cranky Kong soon walks up to them, yelling at them to stop goofing around, until the ape gives him the message he has just received. Cranky Kong is excited about his promotion, and decides to hold a banquet for the ape.

At the banquet, Donkey Kong notices that all of the Kongs have arrived. Diddy Kong begins the opening announcements for the party, and quickly calls up Eddie the Mean Old Yeti to speak about Donkey Kong, before he is booed off the stage. Eddie declares that he thinks Donkey Kong is cool, and the whole audience applauds and laughs, all except Diddy Kong, who is surprised at how Eddie got laughs but not himself. Eddie begins to explain the times with he and Donkey Kong, where he chased him for the Crystal Coconut and smashed him with with a giant snowball. This causes Donkey Kong to realize that they really haven't gotten as many laughs as he thought.

After Eddie give Donkey Kong a hug, which physically crushes him, Diddy announces that Funky Kong is next to speak. Funky quickly jumps on stage and a says that he and Donkey have had a lot of times together. A flashback soon starts, showing Diddy and Donkey riding in a plane with Funky as he performs several dangerous stunts. He then drops the apes off in mid air, making them land a ship below. The flashback continues with other scenes with Funky and Donkey Kong in past parts of the cartoon series. Once Funky is done with his speech, he comes down to shake Donkey Kong's hand. As the ape goes to shake it, Funky moves his hand and slaps the ape, laughing.

The audience claps and cheers, and Diddy Kong soon announces Bluster Kong as next to speak.
