Recap / Donkey Kong Country S 1 E 6 Raiders Of The Lost Banana

Go To

When preventing Polly Roger from stealing the Coconut, DK and Diddy stumble upon the Temple of Inca-Dinka-Doo. There, DK finds a Golden Banana which he thinks would be the perfect present for Candy…if only it wasn't cursed. Now, all of Kongo-Bongo is in grave danger until DK can return it!


Tropes

  • Artifact of Doom: The Golden Banana acts as The Jinx, causing misfortune and disaster to whomever has it.
  • Characterisation Click Moment: After being a mindless pirate parrot in "Booty and the Beast" Polly Roger's character is solidified for the rest of the show here.
  • Dumbass Has a Point: Klump rightfully doesn't think Polly should be trusted, since the hateful parrot couldn't stop himself from insulting K. Rool and his subordinates in his Establishing Character Moment.
  • Heel–Face Revolving Door: Polly goes from helping K.Rool, to DK, and back to K.Rool. Not to mention that he originally started off working under Skurvy in "Booty and the Beast".
    Polly: You want loyalty? Get a cocker spaniel!
  • Here We Go Again!: Polly steals the Banana at the end, but according to Cranky, if an evildoer gets it, the curse will only affect them.
  • Jerkass Ball: Even after experiencing various life-threatening bouts of bad-luck, Candy is adamant to keep the Golden Banana no matter what Cranky and DK tell her, almost as though she's keeping it out of principle.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: Polly steals the Golden Banana from DK and Diddy, but as Cranky gladly explains at the end, whoever steals the Banana for evil intent "better beware". Cut to a big explosion at K. Rool's factory.
  • Let's Duet: "Our Love is Stronger Than a Golden Banana" is a love song DK and Candy sing to each other. It's so heartfelt, King K. Rool gets caught up in the moment.
  • Love Makes You Dumb: DK's no mathlete, but forgets Cranky's warning about the Banana and just hands it to Candy while in a lovestruck daze.
  • Manly Tears: K. Rool's response to DK and Candy's love ballad.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Not only does DK steal the Golden Banana after Inka Dinka Doo growls menacingly at him not to, but after Cranky tells him to return it, a lovestruck DK talks himself out of doing it and instead gives it to Candy as a gift.
  • The Unreveal: They never really explain why Polly went from working for Kaptain Skurvy to working for King K. Rool.
