Go To

News spreads that Donkey Kong is going to leave the island forever. His friends, allies, and enemies all gather to throw him a farewell party as they remember their time with him.

Tropes

  • Breaking the Fourth Wall: After Donkey Kong interrupts one of Bluster's flashbacks, the latter yells out "Get your own flashbacks!"
  • Clip Show: The whole plot of the episode is this.
  • Dramatically Missing the Point: The letter was meant for Monkey Kong, not Donkey Kong.
  • Friendly Enemy: Klump is very heartbroken by DK's apparent departure and even breaks down sobbing.
  • The Ghost: Monkey Kong is only mentioned as the true recipient of the letter, and is never seen on screen.
  • Go-Karting with Bowser: The Kremlings also show up to honor DK at his going-away party.
  • Grand Finale: This is the final episode of the series.
  • Sudden Downer Ending: At the end of the episode, Donkey Kong reveals that the letter was actually made for Monkey Kong, meaning everyone arranged DK's going-away party for nothing, which makes everyone except for DK leave in frustration. What makes this sadder, is that this is the note the whole show ends on.
  • With Friends Like These...: Nobody is that happy that DK is staying - they're more angry that they put together a big party for nothing. DK is left to sadly ponder this and as noted in Sudden Downer Ending, this is how the show ends.
