Ask Cranky

Well, well, well, having a bit of trouble on our silly little quest, are we? Come running to ol' Cranky Kong for help, eh? Well, you're not going to get anything from me this time! What.. what's that? What do you mean I'm too old to help anyway? Listen, you little whippersnapper, I can beat you at any game, anywhere, any time! Now, what do you want to know? 

Uh, my game won't work. Do I need this red thingie that came with it? 
Now that's just stupid. It says on the box and in the manual that you NEED to have the so called Expansion Pak installed into your Nintendo 64 in order to play the game. Why? How should I know? It supposedly "increases the RAM" and "allows massive environments". Rubbish. It's all just a marketing ploy, just like that so called "Rumble Pak". That thing nearly gave me a heart attack when I first used it. 

I saw the big lizard dude, but I can't find the first level. 
What is with you kids these days? You couldn't find your way out of a paper bag without my help! After you visit K. Lumsy, he will open up a new passage, near the Tag Barrel and Bananaport Pads. Just look for the Golden Banana. 

Hey, I thought this game was Multiplayer, but there is no such option! 
There's this thing called a "Manual" that I suggest you read. If you read it you will find that you cannot access the Battle Mode until you rescue one Kong and earn one Crown in the Battle Arena. In my day we only had one player at a time and only one joystick! None of this "Analog" junk. You kids today are so spoiled... 

I've tried everything and I still can't reach a certain area? What do I do? 
If it were me I would return the game and see if I could find an old copy of Jetpac in the store. Good solid gameplay and no fancy graphics. But since you'll still want this piece of garbage, I'll tell you. Some areas in each world can only be accessed by a certain Kong member, so you'll have to try each Kong to get into an area. 

How many lives do I have? 
Those braniacs at Rare decided to take out the challenge and give you infinite lives in this game! What were they thinking? In my day, you only had three lives, and you could only get an extra one by scoring 50,000 points! The only penalty for getting KOed is having to start from the beginning of the level. 

Where the Banana Fairy? 
Um, there's no Banana Fairy in the game...er, no sir...nope... 

Right. Hey, Tiny, where's the Banana Fairy? 
"In the island shaped like a fairy near Crocodile Isle. Only I can enter it." 
Blast it Tiny! Get outta here! 

Hey, where's the old Donkey Kong Arcade game? 
Ah, the good ol days of 2 bit sound and graphics. This is the ONLY reason to buy this lousy piece of trash. That's the way they treat classics these days. You will find the arcade machine rusting away in Frantic Factory. If you can beat it, you can access it in the Mys... er, never mind. 

Where can I find the Nintendo and Rareware Coins?
The only way you can get these goodies is to beat two of the greatest games ever made.

I heard that there is actually 201 Golden Bananas in the game!
Yep, it's true. But only the best players will find it, so you might as well just give up now.

What the Barrel marked Mystery on the Mode Select screen for? 
No one knows. It's a Mystery. 
"Once you find enough Banana Fairies secret options will open up" 
Dadburn it Diddy! You too? Scram! 

Dude! I just saw Wrinkly Kong's ghost! What happened to her?! 
Let's just say you should never go to an HMO. 

When I lick my yellow cartridge, it doesn't taste bananas. What gives? 
That's just sick.
