Cranky Kong is an old member of the Kong family and a direct relative of Donkey Kong. He was also, in fact, Donkey Kong himself in Donkey Kong. Sitting in his cabin at the DK Island, he sometimes gives advice to the player when he/she visits him. In Donkey Kong 64, he is a scientist instead and gives the DK Crew various potions to learn new abilities.
In Super Smash Bros. Melee[]
In the Jungle Japes stage, he walks back and forth in his old cabin. He also stops sometimes to sit in his rocking chair and rock back and forth. Also, an Erlenmeyer flask and two test tubes can be seen through the window, as a reference to his scientist profession in Donkey Kong 64.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl[]
He appears as a trophy and as a Medium sticker, which gives +7 attack to indirect specials. It can be used by all characters. He also appears in the background of Jungle Japes, like in Super Smash Bros. Melee.
When using Snake's secret taunt against Donkey Kong, Otacon tells Snake that the original Donkey Kong that Mario fought was actually the current DK's grandfather. This may refer to Cranky, as he has occasionally been referred to as DK's grandfather rather than his father. If this is the case, the Donkey Kong on the 75m stage is another appearance for Cranky.
Trophy description[]
A village chief and bitter old codger. Cranky uses his extensive knowledge and wisdom to provide helpful hints. He has also made appearances in a white lab coat as a potion-dealing chemist, granting the Kongs special abilities. Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast features Cranky as a playable character for the first time.
