== Tiki Tong is a [[How to Kill Aa Mockingbird|Mockingbird]] ==
Because the only way to kill a Mockingbird is to {{spoiler|hit it with the moon.}}
 
Line 10:
 
== K. Rool summoned {{spoiler|Tiki Tong}} ==
K. Rool heard about the Tikis sleeping in the volcano and, having been a king, a pirate, and a mad scientist, decided to try his hand at being a witchdoctor or something. He woke the Tikis from their slumber expecting them to serve him. However, like any good [[Sealed Evil in A Can|Sealed Evil in a Can]] they killed K. Rool and his minions and started their own rampage, hence why there are no more Kremlings.
 
== K. Rool IS {{spoiler|Tiki Tong}} ==
Line 24:
 
== This game will [[Retcon]] a large part of the series' continuity ==
Fans have long suspected that [[Shigeru Miyamoto|Miyamoto-san]] and [[Nintendo]] in general weren't happy with the way [[Rare]] handled Donkey Kong as a character (hence the huge cast downsizing in ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]''), and in [http://kotaku.com/5572645/their-orders-are-to-make-a-better-donkey-kong-country this article,] Kensuke Tanabe says that Miyamoto gave him and [[Retro Studios|Retro]] specific instructions regarding what to adopt and what ''not'' to adopt from the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (Videovideo Gamegame)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' series. Since we have seen no trace of Dixie, Kiddy, or any other Kong besides DK and Diddy, it's possible that this game is a sequel to the original DKC and ignores its three original sequels.
* Miyamoto [http://wii.ign.com/articles/110/1100039p1.html actually likes] [[Donkey Kong Country (Videovideo Gamegame)|Donkey Kong Country]], he actually had a good deal of involvement in the development phase.
 
== The crocodile-like statues in the Ruins are the last remnants of the Kremlings ==
It supports the other WMG that the game takes place years after the original trilogy.
 
== [[Brawl in The Family (Webcomic)|Brawl in Thethe Family]] got it right: [http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/2010/11/18/293-the-new-generation/ This game's Cranky Kong is the original DKC's Donkey Kong] ==
Which is why he's not ''quite'' as cranky as the original; he had enough of his old man's complaining back in his day and didn't want to become just like him. It would at the very least explain [[The Other Darrin|why the current Kongs have different voices from their original-DKC counterparts]].
* It's unlikely, since Diddy is still young.
Line 38:
 
== There will be a Donkey Kong Country Returns Trilogy ==
Like [[Metroid Prime]] and the original [[Donkey Kong Country (Videovideo Gamegame)|Donkey Kong Country]] before it, Retro Studios will eventually make two more DKCR titles.
 
== Tiki Tong is an ancient evil being that terrorised Kong Island long ago. ==
Line 52:
 
== The next game will be themed on [[Even Better Sequel|Donkey Kong Country 2]], and called "[[Memetic Mutation|Donkey Kong Country Forever]]". ==
* Which will be followed by [[Batman and Robin (Filmfilm)|Donkey Kong Country and Robin]].
** So, at that point they'll screw up and re-boot with [[Memetic Mutation|Donkey Kong Country Begins]].
*** And later on, there will be [[The Dark Knight|The Kong Knight.]] {{spoiler|Tiki Tong}} will say [[Memetic Mutation|"Why so serious?"]]
Line 60:
 
== The sequel will have the Kremlings return as the villains ==
Knowing that some people didn't like the Kremlings being replaced, Retro Studios will put the Kremlings in a case of [[Pandering to Thethe Base]].
* Then some people will STILL complain, calling [[It's the Same, Now It Sucks|"Rehash"]], developing into a case of [[Unpleasable Fanbase]].
 
== The DK we play as in this game is the fourth Donkey Kong. ==
All of Cranky's lines about "the gold old days" in this game sound more like [[Donkey Kong Country (Videovideo Gamegame)|Donkey Kong Country]] than [[Donkey Kong]], and he heavily implies that he's the DK from DKC [[All There in the Manual|in the manual]]. This combined with his mentions of being DK's grandfather but also having raised him makes me believe that [[Fan Wank|this is the new canon:]]
* Arcade Donkey Kong, later seen as Cranky in DKC, has now passed away.
* Donkey Kong Jr from the arcade is his son, and grew up to become the DK seen in the Donkey Kong Country trilogy and [[Donkey Kong 64 (Video Game)|Donkey Kong 64]]. He is now the current Cranky.
* The Donkey Kong Jr seen in [[Mario Tennis (Video Game)|Mario Tennis]] was DKC DK's son, and soon grew up into a total toothy-grinned [[Jerkass]], and was banished by the Kong family to the Mushroom Kingdom. The DK face was removed from the island to avoid association with him. After [[Mario VSvs. Donkey Kong|a small villainous phase]], Donkey Kong III eventually starred in [[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat|his own adventures against other banished Kongs]]. Feeling some sympathy for him, Diddy, Dixie, Tiny and Funky started to visit the Mushroom Kingdom to spend some time with him.
* DKC Returns DK is the son of Donkey Kong III, taken back to DK Island by Diddy and raised by his grandfather, DKC DK.
 
Line 77:
* Perhaps it is because he is already being controlled by another force, the player?
* Another theory: in order to be eligible for brainwashing, you first need [[Dumb Muscle|a brain]].
* Isn't he in general pretty smart? Barring [[Donkey Kong 64 (Video Game)|Donkey Kong 64]] of course.
* Or maybe its because {{spoiler|the tiki's are powered by bananas just as he is and his ''Banana Level'' was higher than theirs.}}
* Another possibility is because Donkey Kong was too smart to be controlled. Apes and monkeys are far more intelligent than the vast majority of animals, so that explains why all the animals save for the apes/monkeys got hypnotized. The Tutorial Pig didn't get hypnotized either since pigs are relatively more intelligent than most other animals (and he seemed rather smart too). However, this does raise the question why local [[Gadgeteer Genius]] Colonel Kluck did get hypnotized, so this theory isn't completely sound.
Line 89:
 
== King K. Rool will come back in the second game of the trilogy, then the Tiki Taks will come back in the third game, but with a twist ==
In the third game, Donkey and Diddy will fight their way through the tiki hoards for the second time, albeit with uncanny similarities to the apparently vanquished Kremlings. But at the end of the game, [[Hijacked Byby Ganon|K. Rool will turn out to be the real villain]], much like the end of ''Country 3''. In the final battle, K. Rool will fuse with a revived Tiki Tong and become a massive Tiki-Kremling monster that exhibits both the former's swollen eye and crocodile features and the latter's floating hands and wooden composition.
 
== The Kremlings don't appear because they're regrouping and biding their time ==
