Cranky decides to create a potion to quiet him down, so he checks a large book with the recipe for it. As he puts together the ingredients, he grabs the secret ingredient, which he reads should not be put into the potion until it is ready to use. Cranky puts the ingredient in and drinks it to test the potion. | ||
Meanwhile, [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]], [[Diddy Kong]], and [[Funky Kong]] lay outside of [[Funky's Flights]] completely tired; the three, like Cranky, could not fall asleep from the sound coming from Eddie the Yeti. The [[Kong]]s wonder what is making the yeti so cranky, and they soon conclude that, the older Eddie gets, the meaner he gets. The meaner he gets, the noisier he gets, which makes everyone else crankier. A hologram of Cranky Kong from the [[Crystal Coconut]] interrupts their conversation, showing Cranky laughing hysterically. Cranky tells them to get to [[Cranky's Cabin|his cabin]] before he can explain what he is doing. The Kongs obey and head over. | Meanwhile, [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]], [[Diddy Kong]], and [[Funky Kong]] lay outside of [[Funky's Flights]] completely tired; the three, like Cranky, could not fall asleep from the sound coming from Eddie the Yeti.

[[King K. Rool]] wakes [[General Klump]] from his sleep and asks what is causing the loud noise that is keeping the whole [[Kongo Bongo|island]] awake. Klump explains that he and the troops have found that the disturbance is coming from the White Mountains, but they do not know exactly where in the mountains it is. The crocodile king commands his minion to search for its location. Before Klump leaves, he falls asleep again, which greatly angers King K. Rool. | ||
The Kongs soon arrive in Cranky's Cabin, where Cranky announces that he has found something to put Eddie the Yeti in a better mood: the "Tickle Tonic." Donkey Kong offers to take it to Eddie, but Cranky explains that only he can do it, telling them about the secret ingredient that must be added right before the potion is used. Cranky quickly leaves to catch Funky's plane ride, to the Kongs' surprise, to make the short trip before Donkey and Diddy mess something up. Cranky commands them to watch the Crystal Coconut while he is gone, but the Kongs immediately have the urge to sleep again when he exits the cabin. Diddy decides to find a mega-vitamin drink and quickly scurries over to the old ape's potions to find something to keep themselves awake. Though Donkey Kong does not feel to sure about this, he and Diddy check for a recipe in Cranky's book. After the ape reads the recipe, he begins to sing the names of the ingredients in song, and Diddy joins in. The words from their song, "then say coconut and it should float," cause the Crystal Coconut to float out of the cabin, and the Kongs, realizing that it was a spell instead of a recipe, begin to chase it. | The Kongs soon arrive in Cranky's Cabin, where Cranky announces that he has found something to put Eddie the Yeti in a better mood: the "Tickle Tonic."

Meanwhile, Cranky flies with Funky in his plane, trying not to worry about Donkey and Diddy Kong. These two primates chase the Crystal Coconut across the jungle as they swing along vines. Cranky Kong cannot take Funky's crazy flying and tells him to put the plane down and land it. Funky misinterprets this as "upside-down," and flips the plane over. Cranky loses his grip on the Tickle Tonic when he does this, and the potion falls towards the ground. Fortunately, Funky flies his plane under the falling vial and Cranky catches it, advising him to never flip over like that again. Funky misinterprets what he says again and continues to fly upside-down. | Meanwhile, Cranky flies with Funky in his plane, trying not to worry about Donkey and Diddy Kong.

King K. Rool, in his hideout, is trying to fall asleep, but is still being woken up by Eddie. He uses a monitor of his to view the whereabouts of Klump, only to find him and [[Krusha]] sleeping in the jungle. When General Klump is awoken, he reports that the disruption is coming from Eddie the Mean Old Yeti. King K. Rool commands them to quiet him down, suddenly noticing the Crystal Coconut hovering behind them. He tells them to get the Coconut while he heads to the White Mountains to quiet down Eddie. | King K.

The Kongs follow the Crystal Coconut to [[Bluster Barrelworks]], where they spot [[Bluster Kong|Bluster Kong's]] barrel-copter. They use the copter to chase the Coconut. Eventually, the two succeed in grabbing the item, but the Kremlings below notice them with the Crystal Coconut. Klump orders the [[Kritter]] troops to shoot them down with their [[Klaptrap]]-blasters. The Klaptraps jump onto the barrel-copter and eat it away, causing the apes to crash onto the jungle floor. They drop the Coconut, which floats back over the Kremlings, who begin chasing it again. | The Kongs follow the Crystal Coconut to [[Bluster Barrelworks]], where they spot [[Bluster Kong|Bluster Kong's]] barrel-copter.
