Editing Cranky's Video Game Heroes

[[File:Crankys Video Game Heroes DKC2.png|thumb|Cranky's Video Game Heroes]]
'''Cranky's Video Game Heroes''' is an awards ceremony hosted by [[Cranky Kong]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', to see who can collect the most [[DK Coin]]s. The player may be in this event when they beat the game, or by simultaneously pressing the L and R buttons after they beat it. In ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', the ceremony is called simply '''Video Game Heroes''', since Cranky Kong does not appear in the game.

When the player first sees Cranky's Video Game Heroes, [[Mario]] is found in first with 39 coins, [[Yoshi]] appears in second with 29 coins, and [[Link]] is seen in third place with 19 coins. To beat the three characters, the player must collect DK Coins on their adventure, and [[Diddy Kong]] will appear as one of the top three if he gets at least 19 coins, eliminating Link from the standings. Link's tunic will then be placed in the "No Hopers" bin.

In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake of ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', a few things have been changed. Mario now has 67 coins, Link has 50, and Yoshi has 39. Also, Yoshi is put in third place, while Link is in second place. Therefore, if the player gets over 39 coins, Yoshi will be eliminated from the standings, instead of Link.

In a corner of the screen, [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic's]] shoes and {{wp|Earthworm Jim}}'s raygun are seen next to a sign that says "No Hopers", most likely meaning that they failed to collect enough coins. Mainly, it was included because of Nintendo and Sega's rivalry at the time. This detail was removed in ''Donkey Kong Land 2'' and the Game Boy Advance remake.

+'''Cranky's Video Game Heroes''' is an awards ceremony hosted by [[Cranky Kong]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', to see who can collect the most [[DK Coin]]s. The player may be in this event when they beat the game, or by simultaneously pressing the L and R buttons after they beat it.

-'''Cranky's Video Game Heroes''' is an awards ceremony hosted by [[Cranky Kong]] on [[Donkey Kong Island]]<ref>'''Cranky's words''': "''L-let's get out of t-this miserable d-dump, and g-get back t-t-to D-Donkey K-K-Kong Island!''" - ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''</ref> in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Its purpose is to see who can collect the most [[DK Coin|Video Game Hero Coin]]s. [[Diddy Kong]] participates in the event after the player completes [[K. Rool Duel]], and Cranky's Video Game Heroes can be subsequently visited by holding the {{button|snes|L}} and {{button|snes|R}} buttons from the world map. The contest shows the "video game heroes" on a podium. By default, [[Mario]] is in first place with 39 DK Coins, [[Yoshi]] is in second place with 29 Video Game Hero Coins, and [[Link]] is in third place with 19 DK Coins. If Diddy has at least 19 Video Game Hero Coins, he appears in third place on the podium, eliminating Link from the standings, and having at least 29 moves Diddy up to second place on the podium and relegates Yoshi to third place. When Diddy obtains all 40 Video Game Hero Coins, Diddy appears in first place and Mario in second, to Cranky's surprise. The bottom right corner of the area shows [[Sonic|Sonic's]] shoes and {{wp|Earthworm Jim}}'s plasma gun next to a trash can, and a sign reading "No Hopers" leans against the trash can. It can be inferred that Sonic and Earthworm Jim failed to collect enough DK Coins for the competition, and is a real world reference to Nintendo and [[Sega]]'s console rivalry at the time.
-The event also appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', where it has the same role. It is no longer hosted by Cranky, which is reflected by its rename to '''Video Game Heroes'''. Additionally, the trash can and the objects near it are no longer present.
+When the player first sees Cranky's Video Game Heroes, [[Mario]] is found in first with 39 coins, [[Yoshi]] appears in second with 29 coins, and [[Link]] is seen in third place with 19 coins. To beat the three characters, the player must collect DK Coins on their adventure, and [[Diddy Kong]] will appear as one of the top three if he gets at least 19 coins, eliminating Link from the standings. Link's tunic will then be placed in the "No Hopers" bin.
-Cranky's Video Game Heroes received a few changes in the [[Game Boy Advance]] version of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|Donkey Kong Country 2]]''. The background shows a shore instead of a pitch black room, and each podium has a barrel-like shape. Yoshi and Link have switched positions to third and second respectively. Since the game has more Video Game Hero Coins than in the original version, the number held by each contestant is also increased: Mario has 67; Link has 50; and Yoshi has 39.
