Donkey Kong Country

"“Twas the night

before the festival, and all

through the cabin, not a

creature was stirrin", no

gorillas were gabbin."”

The banana peels were tossed by

the piano with care, in hopes

that more bananas soon would be there.

Mmm... Bananas.

That"s my favourite part of the holiday.

That"s your favourite part of

any day, DK!

What"s your favourite part

of the holiday, little buddy?

Opening presents, especially

when it"s a junior jungle gym,

complete with mega monkey bars!

Diddy... How did you know?

That"s just what I always wanted.

What"s your favourite part of

the holiday, Cranky?

The truce between lizards and apes.

The Kongo Bongo Festival of

Lights is the one day a year we

don"t have to worry about that

pond gack K. Rool trying to

steal the Crystal Coconut!

The one day a year it"s

completely safe.

Squadron 10!

Your mine car is clear for

take-off on track 7.

It"s a low clearance tunnel so

watch your...

Heads... >> That"s the last of the

Kritter troops, sir.

Everybody"s gone to celebrate

the Kongo Bongo Festival of

Lights day with their families.

Splendid, just splendid!

Well, you know my holiday motto,

right, Klump?

Yes sir!

Even cerebrally challenged

homespun pinhead subordinates

need to spend time with their

scaly loved ones.

Speaking of cerebrally

challenged, where"s Krusha?

He"s in the vault, sir.

He"s rummaging through all your

junk to see if he can find

something festive to bring home

for the holidays.

I found somethin...

What have you got

there, Krusha?

Ooh, ooh, ooh, candles!

Those aren"t candles!

Those are...

Fireworks.

I just love fireworks.

They"re my favourite part o' the holiday.

Oh, my favourite part is

going back to the swamplands to

play gator-games with all my

slithering siblings.

We just roll around in the muck

all day, drinking bog-nog and

exchanging villain stories...

And then later, we will gorge

on one of mummy"s home-made mud pies!

Oh, I can almost smell it now...

Whoa!

Well, General, I"m off!

Happy Festival of Lights Day!

Same to you, your

sinister slipperiness, sir.

Better hurry, Krusha...

Your family"s waiting.

Bye, bye... >> Happy holidays!

Aren"t you going home?

Uh, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, sure, I was just,

um... lockin" up!

Oh, I got a big day planned, uh,

wouldn"t miss it for the world.

Yeah, you go on, you silly

salamander, and I... I order you

to have fun!

D"okay, uh, bye bye...

And remember to watch your...

Oof!

Head.

Well, I may not have

anywhere to go, but at least

I"ve got the whole place to myself.

As I recall, when I was a

kid, someone taught me a little

poem to cheer me up... Now what was it?

Oh yeah, I remember now.

Huh.

Dag-newt, what was that last line?

Huh, oh well, no matter.

There"s no one to hear but me anyway.

This year"s Festival of

Lights is gonna be the best

ever, little buddy!

Wait till you see my fireworks display!

I"d rather see my presents.

Oh, tell me what you got me, DK!

Please, please, tell me, please!

Okay, but you can"t tell

anybody, because I got the same

gift for everyone.

It"s big... >> Yeah?

It"s beautiful!

Yeah?

It"s a banana!

Yeah-ha... Huh?

Yeah right, as if!

No, seriously, what did ya get me?

No, no, don"t tell me.

Let it be a surprise.

Yeah, a surprise.

Sure.

Mmm... I smell... banana cream pie!

Hi, DK!

Hi, Creamy!

Uh, I mean Candy.

I thought you"d be on the

beach setting up the fireworks display.

You know how much I love your

banana cream pies.

Well not as much as you"re

gonna love the present I got you!

Uh... Present?

No peeking until later.

I can"t wait to see what you got me.

Ah, I gotta go.

Hey, Donkey Dude!

Hi, Funky, going surfing?

Negative, D-man, I"m trippin'

a move to Cranky"s to deliver

your present.

You"ll be cruisin' your karma

on a high tide real soon!

It sounds like everyone got

me really great presents.

Oh, not everyone!

I"m sure Cranky got you the same

useless gift he gets you every year...

Glow in the dark pyjamas.

My gift will make up for it.

Ooh, speaking of which, I better

go wrap it.

You better start setting up

those fireworks, otherwise the

only thing lighting up the sky

tonight will be your pyjamas!

How can I think about

fireworks when I have to get new

presents for everyone?

Oh, what am I gonna do?

I know!

Oh, you gotta help me,

Inka Dinka Doo!
