Cranky's Video Game Heroes

This article is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it is being worked on. We hope to have it completed as soon as possible.

Cranky's Video Game Heroes is an awards cerimony in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy Kong's Quest, to see who can collect the most DK Coins. The player may be in this event after they beat the game, or by pressing the L button after they beat it. When the player first sees Crankey's Video Game Heroes, Mario is found in first with 39 coins, Yoshi appears in second with 29 coins, and Link is seen in third place with 19 coins. To beat the three characters, the player must collect DK Coins on their adventure, and Diddy Kong will appear as one of the top three if he gets at least 19 coins, eliminating Link from the standings.

Trivia

• In the corner of the screen here, Sonic's shoes and Earthworm Jim's raygun are seen next to a sign that says "No Hopers", most likely meaning that they failed to collect enough coins.
