{{quote|[[Donkey Kong]]'s white bearded, grouchy grandfather [[Cranky Kong]] has set up shop in each world to help Donkey Kong in his quest.

'''Cranky Kong's Shop''' is a shop run by [[Cranky Kong]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and its [[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D|Nintendo 3DS]] and [[Donkey Kong Country Returns HD|Nintendo Switch]] ports. It serves as the successor to [[Cranky's Cabin]] from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', which according to Cranky himself, is due to his pension having been revoked.<ref>"They stopped paying my pension ages ago. Now I'm reduced to selling junk out of this old shack." Cranky Kong, ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' and ''Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D''.</ref>

There is a shop in each world, although they all carry the same selection of goods at the same prices. They sell items in exchange for [[Banana Coin]]s. Once purchased, the items can be equipped from the Inventory menu before entering a level. Most of what Cranky sells is optional, in that they only help the player complete the other levels and more easily collect items. The shop does sell a different [[Map Key]] in each world though, which opens up an alternate path on the Level Selection Screen in the world, allowing the player(s) to access an additional level. Completing every level is required for [[completion|100% completing]] the game, indirectly making the Map Key required. In New Mode of ''Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D'' and Modern Mode of ''Donkey Kong Country Returns HD'', there are three more items the player can buy. In addition, after beating the game the player can purchase the [[Rare Orb]] in each world from the corresponding shop. A world's Rare Orb is normally only rewarded for beating the world's Key Temple level.

Cranky refuses to sell [[Red Balloon]]s to the player(s) if the purchase would put the player(s) over the maximum of 99 balloons. Likewise, if the player(s) buy a key, they cannot purchase it again. This is also true for Rare Orbs the player has, be they purchased or obtained from their level.

As with previous games, Cranky will sometimes complain about his situation such as needing Banana Coins, being stuck in a shack, or how the game is "too hard" for Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong. Hovering over items prompts Cranky to talk about it. He makes one comment each time the player purchases an item, based on the item in question. They are often snide remarks. He has a quip when entering or leaving the shop, some of which are based on the world the shop is in. Some of these are advice, and others allude to the [[Golden Temple]]. 

The shop is replaced by [[Funky's Fly 'n' Buy]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', due to Cranky Kong becoming a playable character.

==Notes==
[[File:CrankyShopPicture.png|thumb|border|210px|The concept artwork]]
*The Banana Juice potion could be an allusion to ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', where [[Cranky Kong|Cranky]] was a scientist who crafted potions for the player.
*In the Image Gallery, a concept artwork of Cranky's Shop shows he had only one balloon for each amount of lives, and in different colors.  
*If the player does not select an item from the shop for a while, Cranky will get tired and fall asleep.
*Only in the Nintendo 3DS remake, if the player is playing New Mode and waits on the Portable DK Barrel long enough, Cranky will make a ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Series)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' reference saying, "It's dangerous to go alone! Buy this!", substituting "Take" with "Buy".
