Line 8:
While the series takes place in an [[Alternate Continuity]] from that of the games, [[Canon Immigrant|a few elements of the show would find their way into the games]], particularly in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', where Crystal Coconuts are an item (but not a [[MacGuffin]] like here), and Cranky Kong works as a potion-mixing [[Mad Scientist]].

=== Tropes used exclusively in the show: ===
 
* [[Almost Kiss]]
* [[Alternative Foreign Theme Song]]: The Japanese version has a different opening and ending theme.
Line 21 ⟶ 20:
* [[Broken Aesop]]: Subverted. In the episode "Bug A Boogie", Cranky tries to show DK and Diddy that practical jokes aren't fun... by pulling a practical joke on them. However, this actually comes back to bite him when not having DK around due to said practical joke leaves the Crystal Coconut unprotected, fixing the Aesop.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: DK himself is this, in "Kong for a Day" and the majority of season two.
** Cranky also qualifies, as he's been injured at least once by every other character in the show, most often by Donkey Kong.
* [[Canon Foreigner]]: Bluster, Inka Dinka Doo, Polly Roger, Eddie the Mean Old Yeti and Skurvy and his crew.
* [[Canon Immigrant]]: The Crystal Coconut, and Cranky dealing in potions.
Line 34 ⟶ 33:
* [[Do Not Adjust Your Set]]: In the B-plot of Bluster's Sales Ape-Straveganza, K. Rool decides to steal the Crystal Coconut on live TV.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: The way the Kritters [[Those Wacky Nazis|march]] in the song "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3G5_rwvIi8 King K. Rool's Finest Hour]".
* [[Evil Virtues]]: K. Rool gives all of his minions <s>Christmas</s> the day of the Festival of Lights off every year.
{{quote| "Even cerebrally-challenged, home-spun, pinheaded subordinates need to spend time with their scaly loved ones."}}
* [[Evil vs. Evil]]: Kaptain Skurvy allowed for a three way conflict. Something that doesn’t show up often in children’s cartoons in the era.
* [[Freaky Friday Flip]]: "The Big Switcheroo" has DK getting his brain switched with a barrel-making robot's, and Candy's with Klump's.
Line 49 ⟶ 48:
* [[Idiot Hero]]: Donkey Kong.
* [[Idea Bulb]]: Shows up. K. Rool at one point had [[Visual Pun|turning gears]] appear over his head before the bulb did.
* [[I'm Not a Doctor But I Play One on TV]]: DK's not a villain. But he played one in Bluster's movie and when K. Rool, playing the hero, stole the Crystal Coconut DK got the blame and was banished for it.
* [[Inexplicably Tailless]]: K. Rool has no tail for some reason.
* [[In Name Only]]: Kutlass
Line 94 ⟶ 93:
* [[Surrounded by Idiots]]: ''It's at times like this I ask myself, do I really want the coconut this badly?''

Rool.

* [[Wacky Marriage Proposal]]: In "Four Weddings and a Coconut", DK's attempt to propose to Candy leads to him [[I Kiss Your Hand|kissing Bluster's hand]].
Line 105 ⟶ 104:
** K. Rool and Cranky's case is interesting. They both become friends, ending the Kong and croc feud, but their pranks tick off everyone so much that DK, Diddy, Klump and Krusha conspire to make them enemies again.
* [[Who Writes This Crap?]]: Cranky's reaction to the lines Bluster feeds him for a commercial;
{{quote| '''Cranky:''' "Bluster Barrelworks...because their barrels have been around forever...and I should know 'cause so have I"? ''What kind of crock is that!?''}}
* [[Write Who You Know]]: Bluster's movie, written by Funky is based off the events of the series. Leading to a in story [[WTH?What the Hell, Casting Agency?]] when K. Rool is cast as the hero and DK is cast as the villain.
