Everyone wants in on the act as Bluster gets ready to produce and direct his first feature film. While Bluster is in it for the money;Donkey Kong figures it's a good way to impress Candy. King K. Rool;well;he just wants to use those acting lessons he bought over the phone.Blaster's casting choices surprises everyone. Donkey Kong is cast as the villain and relies on "method acting". He becomes so evil that when the Crystal Coconut goes missing;he's the main suspect.

While cutting through the mine tunnel;Diddy overhears King K. Rool's plans to take over the island. Unfortunately;the symptoms for Kongo Bongo Gone Wrongo disease have begun and Diddy hasn't been vaccinated. However;by the time he reaches Donkey Kong to warn him;he is at stage four of the disease and Diddy has lost his voice.Thinking that Diddy is trying to warn them that the Banana Plantations are overrun;Donkey Kong and Funky take off to eat their fill of bananas and thin out the plantation.Meanwhile;as King K. Rool is issuing orders to his army;he begins to sniff ...

It's a day like any other on the island while Donkey Kong and Diddy guard the Crystal Coconut. Diddy tries in vain to get past level three of his video game and Donkey Kong;weary from all the hard "work" settles down for a nap proclaiming that he wishes he could "sleep forever". Suddenly Kongo Bongo Island stands still! The Barrel Factory halts productions;Klump and Krusha's "fitness test" at the hands of King K. Rool seems destined to go on forever;the sun stops moving - all while the Future Ruler of Kongo Bongo snores away! Cranky;Candy;Bluster and Diddy band ...

Wow! Donkey Kong has been elected as Future Ruler of All Future Rulers! As Donkey Kong says;"It was an honour to just to be nominated". Of course this means he has to leave Kongo Bongo Island. Cranky and Diddy take this opportunity to throw Donkey Kong a huge farewell banquet. All of Donkey Kong's friends turn out to bid the big guy adieu. Everyone has fond memories of Donkey Kong;though not all of them complimentary. The Lizards have a few things to say about Donkey Kong as well. Could it be they'll miss Donkey Kong just as much as everyone else?

Cranky is excited;having completed a life sized bronzed statue;a monument of Donkey Kong the Future Ruler. He is however tired of working his opposable thumbs to the bone while all Donkey Kong seems to do is loaf around;eating bananas. Cranky decides that Donkey Kong must come up with an inscription for the statue himself...and soon! Meanwhile at Funky's place;Diddy;Donkey Kong and their trippy pal summon the Mystic Oracle of the lave lamp to read the future. Funky's gonna catch an epic wave on his surfboard;Diddy's gonna be the "smartest monkey to ever live" and ...

Bluster's constant marriage proposals get Candy wondering whether or not Donkey Kong will marry her. Not wanting to wait around for Donkey Kong to pop the question;Candy does the asking...and sends Donkey Kong into a tailspin! Could it be we've found the one thing that really frightens the future ruler of Kongo Bongo? Hoping to find a loophole";Donkey Kong and his best man;Diddy head off to visit the idol of Inca Dinka Doo. Will Donkey Kong find out what he needs to know? Will Candy marry the ape of her dreams? Or will it be Bluster's luck day? One thing's for sure;...

Bluster's not so sure that Donkey Kong should automatically be the Future Ruler of Kongo Bongo and wants it put to a vote. The idol of Inka Dinka Doo thinks is a fine idea as well;and "Everyone is in the running;to make the outcome all the more stunning". And since "everyone" is in the running;King K. Rool throws his hat into the election ring.While Donkey Kong feels that he will win simply because he's the most popular;Blaster and King K. Rool start campaigning hard. Both have platforms and discuss current island issues. Everybody loves THEM! This reduces Donkey Kong...

Only one day left till the annual soccer game against the lizards! Donkey Kong and Diddy begin practicing their fancy footwork;Donkey Kong mastering his "big foot kick";with a coconut they find on the beach. But this is not ordinary coconut - it's a replica of the Crystal Coconut! When the lizards see this they implement a diabolical "Switcheroo" plan that lands the real Crystal Coconut in the slimy hands of King K. Rool;making him the self proclaimed "most powerful creature alive"! Will our hero come through with the fate of Kongo Bongo Island resting in the balance?...

Cranky has just put the finishing touches on a Robot to help out in Bluster's Barrel Factory and brain transfer helmets. Both inventions can be very useful...in the right hands, that is. When King K. Rool learns about the helmets he immediately sends his two henchmen out after them! By the time Klump and Krusha get to Cranky's, Donkey Kong has had a chance to "play" with these new toys and inadvertently switches his brain with that of the Robot. Now Donkey Kong can finally follow orders, but Robot-Donkey Kong is off on a banana hunt. Wait! It gets worse. While running...

What happens when you accidentally cross a balding;money-hungry;mommy's-boy monkey with a magical hair serum? You get Leo Luster;daddy-o! Leo is so cool he can put anybody in a trance;be it a mesmerized Candy or King K. Rool and his slimy henchmen. Things get a little complicated when Donkey Kong decides that he'd rather watch a baseball game on the tube than take Candy to the opening of Funky's new Bistro for a romantic dinner. Could it be that Donkey Kong is in danger of losing both his girlfriend and the Crystal Coconut in one night?

What's this? Pictures of Cranky and King K. Rool;together? Laughing? Hugging? Donkey Kong and Diddy are a little confused after finding theses "happy moments" from Cranky's youth. Seems he and King K. Rool were the best of friends. Pulling pranks and running amok on the island. According to Cranky's story that all came to an end when King K. Rool cheated to win a contest. They've been sworn enemies since. Well...you know Donkey Kong and Diddy; they just can't let an opportunity to be do-gooders pass them by. They're going to get these two "best buddies" together again...

Donkey Kong is having one of those days. Seem like nothing he does is right - breaking Funky's surfboard;locking up the Crystal Coconut and losing the combinations;losing Diddy's lucky autographed ball. It's all going wrong. Maybe a nap will make the bad karma go away? Unless;of course;he sleeps through the annual Future Ruler of Kongo Bongo Barbecue Banana Dinner being held in his honour! Donkey Kong begins to think that Kongo bongo would be better off without him. And that's exactly what happens when Donkey Kong wakes up from a bump on his head. No one can see or ...

It's "All Fool's Day" on the Island of Kongo Bongo and it seems Cranky is out to get everybody. Collapsing chairs;whoopie cushions;catapulting cream pies';no ape is safe from his practicle jokes. Donkey Kong;Diddy and Candy have had enough. It's time to fight fire with fire. However;the joke is still on them when they hand over the Crystal Coconut to King K. Rool...thinking he's Donkey Kong...and Krusha and Klump think Donkey Kong is King K. Rool. Confused? Seems All fools Day" is turning everyone into fools.
