Cranky Kong, jealous of all the success Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong have had from Donkey Kong Country, states that their first adventure was such a big hit because of all the fanciful graphics and sound. He challenges that they'd never cut it on an 8-bit system (Game Boy), and then proceeds to get King K. Rool to steal the banana hoard once again. King K. Rool agrees with Cranky and steals the bananas again.
