Story

King K. Rool and the Kremlings have stolen Donkey Kong's hoard of bananas; now he must recover the stash. His banana hoard was located just in a cave underneath his house; somehow nobody noticed the giant bananas being transported. Donkey Kong has the special help of his nephew and best buddy, Diddy Kong, who idolizes DK. Cranky Kong and the other Kongs (Funky Kong and Candy Kong) lend a hand along the way.
