[edit] Donkey Kong

Donkey Kong or DK is the head ruler of Kongo Bongo Island and hears the bad news of the Kong's banana hoard being stolen by the Kremlings. He's disappointed about it and must get them back. This strong ape is capable of pounding a lot of enemies but cannot do this quest alone and requires his friend's help.

[edit] Diddy Kong

Diddy Kong is Donkey Kong's nephew. He is trapped inside a DK barrel and must wait for DK to help free him before he joins Donkey Kong on his quest. This little chimp doesn't have DK's ground pound ability.

[edit] Cranky Kong

Cranky is DK's father, and gives certain advice to Donkey Kong. He really doesn't want to help DK, because he only cares about the island and himself. He's old, with a cane and rocking chair, and scolds DK and Diddy a lot. Though he is wise, sometimes he's a jerk.

[edit] Funky Kong

DK and Diddy's bud, Funky takes them all over the island to the places where the banana guardian has been beaten, and the place you're currently working on.

[edit] Candy Kong

DK's girlfriend, about whom he talks with Diddy a lot, is Candy Kong. Candy runs Candy's Save Barrel and can save your game anywhere. If you are on your way to a new part of the island and don't have Funky's Flights unlocked yet (other than Gangplank Galleon), you need to go back to the part where you just beat the banana guardian and save the game in case you die before reaching Candy's and have to start over.
