Donkey Kong Adventure Mode

ADVENTURE MODE

Opening scene: We zoom in on Cranky’s Cabin. Inside, we can see that the Kong family are having a big family reunion. In attendance are Donkey, Diddy, Dixie, Kiddy, Tiny, Lanky, Chunky, Funky, Candy, Cranky, and Wrinkly, as well as the alien banana Xananab. As they are hanging out and having a good time, a fleet of ships appear on the horizon. Zooming onto the deck, we see King K. Rool stand, flanked by Lord Fredrik, Tiki Tong, Wizpig, and the four Evil Kings. The villains have joined forces in one big bid to take over the island. They open fire. The Kong family rushes out to see what is happening, Donkey, Diddy, Dixie, and Cranky hopping into Funky’s plane to go after them. Before they can get close however, K. Rool sends out Tiki Tong and his Tikis to attack the Kong family, taking them all captive and stealing Donkey’s banana horde. Tong himself slaps the plane out of the air, sending the apes crashing to the ground below. When they come to, they immediately head out on their adventure to save their family.

World 1: Kongo Jungle

Just like the Mario adventure mode before, this should likewise be able to stand as a solid Donkey Kong game in its own right, while still being a Smash game. Each world will be made up of levels that will unlock one of the captured characters. Each world will have one mini-boss, as well as a final boss at the end.

This first one is a basic Donkey Kong jungle world, leading up to the volcano in the center of the island, where Tiki Tong resides. Dread Kong will fight you as the world’s mini-boss while Tiki Tong will act as the final boss.

World 2: Timber’s Island

Upon Tiki Tong’s defeat, he will cast one last spell that scatters everyone again, especially the main four. When Diddy wakes up, he finds himself alone on Timber’s Island, where he had once helped an old friend fight off an evil Pig Wizard. The genie Taj tells him that Wizpig has returned and enslaved the island once again. Diddy works through the levels, unlocking each of his old friends as he does so. Karate Kong appears as the mid-boss and Wizpig fights you as the final boss.

An intermediary level will occur here with Cranky waking up back in time and encountering his son Donkey Kong Jr.

World 3: Kongo Bongo

Dixie wakes up in a strange world that seems like her own, but is different in a lot of ways. She meets versions of Donkey, Diddy, Cranky, Candy, and Funky who all seem like her friends, but who have an entirely different history with her, and seem to be focused on protecting a magical Crystal Coconut. When the coconut is stolen by a pirate named Kaptain Skurvy, Dixie teams up with these new versions of her friends as well as new friends such as a lecherous egotist named Bluster and a mean old yeti named Eddie to get it back. Ninja Kong appears as the mini-boss, recruiting Skurvy to help the alliance, while Skurvy himself acts as the final boss.

Another intermediary level shows Cranky and Donkey Kong Jr. encountering Stanley the Bugman.

World 3: Frozen Hijinxs

Having lost Diddy, Dixie, and Cranky, Donkey and his remaining companions fight through the fleet of Snowmad ships that Lord Fredrik had brought to the alliance, fighting Tucks and other enemies, challenging Sumo Kong as the mini-boss and Lord Fredrik as the final boss. As they face Lord Fredrik, Diddy, Dixie, Cranky, and all of their new companions return and join the fight again.

World 4: Gangplank Galleon

Having defeated all of K. Rool’s allies and now joined by an army of family and friends, the Kongs storm K. Rool’s galleon by plane and wage war on the Kremling Krew. For a mini-boss, Tiki Tong, Lord Fredrik, Wizpig, and Kaptain Skurvy join forces against you, all leading up to a final fight with King K. Rool.

Ending scene: King K. Rool and his allies go down with the ship. Donkey Kong and his allies all return to the cabin to continue the party, introducing themselves to the new friends from other worlds. (A quick funny scene of the game and show counterpart characters looking each other over, and a scene of Cranky introducing Donkey Kong to Donkey Kong Jr.). In the middle of the celebration, a portal opens up and an invitation flies out. Donkey Kong picks it up to see Peach’s insignia on it, an invitation to the party she had been hosting.
