Fed up with being too old and weak to fight off King K.Rool, Cranky whips up a potion to make him young and fit. Trouble abounds when Donkey Kong drinks some and becomes a baby, leaving the Crystal Coconut undefended after Cranky gets captured…!
Tropes
- The Door Slams You: DK unknowingly does this to K.Rool, making him Squashed Flat.
- Early-Installment Weirdness: As it's the second episode, the show has a few of its' early characteristics that would be retired later. Cranky once again starts the episode as a sort of visual narrator and is forced to holler to the sky for DK.
- Fountain of Youth: The potion Cranky makes. Thankfully, it wears off.
- Friend to All Children: Candy quickly gets charmed by Baby Kong and agrees to babysit him.
- Jerkass Has a Point: Downplayed. Bluster is more jealous of Candy trying to spend lunch with DK, but he does point out she was late to work, which Candy admitted she was at risk of.
- Leeroy Jenkins: After being turned young, Cranky goes to pick a fight with K.Rool. He quickly gets captured.
- Nostalgia Filter:Implied. Cranky longs for his younger days when he claims he could fight with the best of them. However, even when he's taken his potion, he quickly surrenders when surrounded by a few Kritters and later quickly gets recaptured after escaping his cell, suggesting he wasn't really as great a fighter as he thought he was.
- Oh, Crap!: K.Rool's subdued reaction when Baby Kong turns back into Donkey Kong."Oh, dear."
- Other Me Annoys Me: Cranky's first reaction to the wise-cracking younger version of himself the Crystal Coconut projects.
- Squashed Flat: K. Rool gets squashed as flat as a sheet of paper by DK when he comes into Cranky's house. He's forced to weakly hop out of the hut as a big sheet of paper.
- You and What Army?: This exchange when Klump sneaks up to DK's treehouse while his Kritters are hiding in barrels;Klump: Surrender the Coconut, and we'll call off the siege!
Diddy: "We"? Ha ha ha! All I see is one fat loony lizard and a bunch of old barrels! (Sounds of guns cocking) Heavily armed barrels.
