Cranky Kong

Story Intro

• "Well, well... What do you think you're doing siting around all day?"
• "They won't get much of a game out of this, will they? I thought you were supposed to be a big star!"
• "I didn't! Whisking off maidens and chucking barrels, seven days a week I was!"
• "That's how I got where I am tody, you know. Hard word. There was none of this lazin' around on a beach!"
• "Hah! He's off somewhere with that girlfriend of his. But still, I can see when I'm not wanted..."

---

• "Look, a note!"
• "Give me a chance! I'm not as quick as I used to be. It says:"

---

• "Well, I suppose we'd better give him the bananas. Hadn't we?"
• "Arrrrgh! This story's even worse that Donkey Kong Country's."
• "They're really scraping the bottom of the barrel this time!"
• "Have you any ideas how to get DK back?"
• "I'm sure as spit not gonna do it, not that I'm past my prime, mind you."
• "I could still do a better job than the rest of you put together."
• "But I wouldn't be seen dead in a game that scrolls and has bonus levels and end bosses!"
• "We will meet you there. Come and see us if you need any help!"

Entering his museum

• "Say hello to your old grandpappy Cranky. I'm back by popular demand to offer my wealth of gameplay wisdom for this unnecessary sequel."

---

• "What sort of name is Dixie anyway? In my day, you were lucky to have a name ot all!"
• "I'd sort out old K. Rool for you real quick, but I'd be spoiling the limited fun you're trying to get out of this shoddy product!"
• "I don't even get two screens to stand in! I'm sure K. Rool will have two, so why can't I? Pah!"
• "Look at all this junk in here! Treat my home like a trash can they do! No respect for their elders, that's the trouble..."
• "Haven't sold a single thing in weeks! If this junk was out of one of my games, the customers would be begging to get in!"
• "Where's Expresso? A clumsy spider and a fat parrot, is that the best they can think of?"
• "Girl heroes in video games, pah. I can't believe it! The main character should be really muscle-bound and carry a gun, not twirl their hair round!"
• "Need more help do we? Pah! If tell you much more, I might as wall play the game for you!"
• "Don't you ever knock? I know you're desperate for help, but remember your manners next time!"
• "I knew it! You've come to beg for my help again, haven't you! Well, I'm not going to tell you anything this time!"
• "Come on in! Have yourselves a look 'round and buy some of this trash, why don't you?"
• "I'll box your ears if you don't listen this time!"
• "Back so soon? I thought you'd complete at least another level before you came crying to me!"
• "See, you're back again! Evebody like old Cranky. I bet my ugly, old wife doesn't get half as many visits!"
• "You think your fancy graphics and sound will work again! I think not. You'll be lucky to sell 10 copies this time!"
• "Have you been to see the other members of the Kong family? They're not as useful as me of course, but they might be able to help."
• "You're looking a bit fat there, kid! Look at me, I'm at my physical peak. I could show you a thing or two!"
• "Oh, it's you again. I thought it might be a real video game hero..."
• "K. Rool is gonna whup your hides this time, whippersnappers! I'd better take over before you embarrass yourselves!"
• "For just five bucks, you can buy my memoirs. What a dynamic and exciting life I've led. You'll be lucky to star in half as many games as I been."
• "Shouldn't Dixie just be a token female princess waiting to be rescued, instead of a main character?"
• "Team up? I've never heard such rubbish in my life! When I played, I was on my own. I had no fancy backup!"
• "I hate being stuck in this shabby barrel. I want to sit outside like last time!"
• "Give up now before the kids realize you're not as popular as Donkey Kong was!"
• "Just 'cos DKC sold few lousy copies, I have to be included in another ludicrous adventure! It's the last time, I tell you!"
• "I'd have collected far more tokens than that by now! What's wrong, got holes in your pockets?"
• "Diddy, I thought you were a cheap character in DKC, but Dixie's even worse! It should be me on my own, that it should!"
• "Surprise, surprise. Well if it isn't the so called video game heroes! I hope I'm getting paid for all my help!"
• "Howdy, young 'uns! Gather round and I'll give you some much needed advice!"
• "You spend as much time in here as I do!"
• "Look! They've even taken my chair from me. It's disgusting how they treat old video game heroes these days..."
• "After my starring role in DKC, I thought I'd be the main character this time, not stuck in this gloomy shed!"
• "I bet this here Killer Instinct game is rubbish too! It hasn't got me in it, so it must be!"
• "I was hoping for more frames this time, but no! Don't let old Cranky do anything. Just give him some third rate stand frames!"
• "I don't know why I help you so much. you don't appreciate me!"

---

• "O.K., which of these would you like?"
• "Take a look at this lot!"
• "Here's a fraction of my enviable knowledge!"
• "Go ahead, test my amazing knowledge!"
• "I can recommend the really expensive ones, actually."
• "Enough talk, let's see your tokens!"
• "Pick a subject! I know everything about this game!"
• "I reckon you should spend all your tokens here."
• "Gaze in awe, as you appreciate my knowledge!"
• "Feast yer eyes on my menu!"
• "What do you want this time?"
• "This stuff is cheap at half the price!"
• "Here's what I've got to offer."

No coins

• "You must be joking! You'l never have enough for that!"
• "It's not a charity! I want more tokens for this!"
• "Find some more tokens, you useless monkey!"
• "You'll have to play better to buy that, sonny!"
• "You'd better stick to the free ones, whippersnapper."
• "Not enough? Well, get lost then."
• "Hey! If you ain't got any tokens, you can buzz off!"
• "That's not enough. I've got ney frames to pay for y'know!"
• "Keep yer grubby hands off if you can't afford it!"
• "My knowledge doesn't come that cheap!"
• "You ain't got enough tokens for that, cheapskate!"
• "I'm not giving this stuff away you know!"
• "That one is too good for you."

Leaving the museum

• "That's enough help for now. I need some rest."
• "Now, go and sort out those stupid crocodiles!"
• "I gotta go now, my wife is visiting any moment!"
• "Yawn! I'm getting tired. Go away and don't disturb me again!"
• "Now, buzz off and let me work on my new game design."
• "Guess I'd better tidy this miserable dump up a bit."
• "It should be real easy for you now!"
• "I'm off to spend my tokens!"
• "When you need more advice, which you will, I might help again, if you're lucky."
• "Don't be surprised if I'm gone next time. I'll be in a real game!"
• "Time for a couple of games on this here Killer Instinct."
• "Even you can finish this silly game now!"
• "Remember, I'm the most useful of the Kongs, and the cheapest!"
• "Don't come back without a sackful of tokens!"

First victory

• "I knew you'd do it, Diddy m'boy, but how could you fail having learned all you know from old Cranky here?"
• "Well done, Diddy, m'boy! Who'd have known you'd be able to rescue that lazy grandson of mine and dump K. Rool in his own filthy swamp? Not bad for a novice! Of course, if I'd have been playing, I'd have made sure that K. Rool never tries a cheap trick like this again!"
• "I reckon I'd found all the Kremkoins and completed the so called 'Lost World'. Oh well, can't expect everything from our first game, can we?"
• "One more thing, how many of my special Video Game Hero Coins did you find? A real player, such as myself, would have found plent I'm sure."
• "Let's see how well you did, eh?"

---

• "Well, I've got a second screen, and it's about time too. Now, shut up everyone while I read the eagarly awaited results of my prestigious Video Game Hero Awards...."
• "Hmmm... Not too good at finding my coins, are you, sonny? You might be a hero, but you've got a lot of catching up to do, yes siree!"
• "If you want to look at your limited progress on this screen, press the left and right buttons while you are on any of the map screens."
• "Now buzz off and see if you can find some more of my coins, which I very much doubt you will."

---

• "Hey! What are you waiting for? There's no secret stuff hidden here, sonny!"
• "There is, however, a couple of special options on the game selection screen though I'm sure they're of little use."
• "To find these silly options, press down lots of times, but if I were you, I wouldn't bother."
• "Now, go ahead and switch that cartridge off, so I could get some sleep! I reckon I've earned it!"

Lost World

• "Well, well, well, if it isn't our trainee hero! I didn't expect you to find this place, sonny. You must have got luck. Now that you're here, I'd better tell you about it."
• "This here's the Kremling's 'LOST WORLD', and that big crocodile head in the middle is where you need to get to if you're going to finish this silly game properly."
• "But to get there, you have to beat Kaptain K. Rool and complete all the bonus levels as well, a task I'm sure is well beyond a whippersnapper like you!"
• "I don't know why I'm doing this, but here are some ridiculous cheap hints for this world, which I'm sure you'll be needing as well."

Last victory

• "N-n-nice going k-kid! I-I reckon only a t-t-true video g-game hero would h-have f-f-finished it all!"
• "L-let's get out of t-this miserable d-dump, and g-get back t-t-to D-Donkey K-K-Kong Island!"

---

• "Back to see me again, eh, sonny? Let's see if you've improved your hero status, shall we?"
• "I'm not afraid to admit it, Diddy m'boy. Even I'm wrong occasionally. You're as big a hero as they come. You must take after me and Donkey. Well Done!"

Diddy Kong

• "Read it, then!"
• "After all we did to get them back last time?"
• "DK would go crazy if he lost his hoard again!"
• "No, we must go now. Enguarde will take us."

Dixie Kong

• "Hurry, Cranky, what does it say?"
• "Let's go over to Crocodile Isle and rescue DK."

Donkey Kong

• "Even video game heroes get time off."
• "Why don't you go pester Diddy or something!? Just leave me in peace for once!"

Funky Kong

• "Lookin' good, dudes! I'm Funky the main monkey, and my new Funky's Flights can take you anywhere on Crocodile Ilse, provided you've already checked it out of course!"
• "Cruise on over to the barrel man, and ride the skies!"
• "Come jump into my jet 'n' jive, Clive!"
• "Cool! She's all yours dudes. Catch y' later!"
• "Go get that K. Rool, he just ain't cool!"
• "Awesome playing, Kongs! Go get that K. Rool. He just ain't cool!"
• "Everything is cool guys. You're lookin' ready to ride and catch some clouds!"
• "Drop in on the other Kongs, dudes. We're all here to help you guys!"
• "All flights cleared, dudes. Choose and cruise!"
• "Check me out again, huh?"
• "Catch y' later, dudes!"
• "Wicked! She's all tuned up and ready to go!"
• "Way cool! Pick a flight and you're outta sight!"
• "Pick it and kick it, Kongs. You're A-Okay!"
• "Remember, Funky's the Monkey!"
• "I fly 24 hours y'know!"
• "Take it easy, Kongs!"
• "Call again, good buddies!"
• "Stay loose, guys!"
• "Not enough, man! I got a new surfboard to pay for!"
• "Aw no! Looks like you're gonna need to score some more to tour!"
• "Tough break, Kongs. She's too cool for your pocket!"
• "Sorry, dudes. That one costs more to run than you've got!"
• "What a bummer, eh? Try to find a few more tokens, y' know!"
• "Uncool! That's costly crusin' and you ain't in the picture guys!"
