'''Crosshair Cranky''' is a mode exclusively found in the [[Game Boy Color]] port of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. Here, [[Donkey Kong]] (and [[Diddy Kong]] in multiplayer mode) travel through parts throughout [[Donkey Kong Island]] where the [[Kong]]s can't usually visit in the Adventure mode. There are six different stages in this mode. It is operated by [[Cranky Kong]], though he does not appear in the mode.

|controls={{button|gbc|Pad}} &ndash; moving the crosshair<br>{{button|gbc|a}} &ndash; firing a coconut<br>{{button|gbc|B}} &ndash; reloading the supply after it runs out
In each minigame stage, the Kong needs to use their [[Coconut Shooter]] to fire [[coconut]]s at [[Kremling]]s. In some stages, there are obstructions to avoid, such as other Kongs or [[Animal Friends]]. Every stage has a yellow-background coconut icon in the center, divided into four sections. The sections are organized from left to right (i.e. the first section is at the top-left corner and the last section is at the bottom-right). A section turns entirely brown for each coconut that DK fires (half the icon turns brown for each fired coconut in Buddies Beware). DK cannot fire any coconuts after he fires all four (or two in Buddies Beware), so the player must press {{button|gbc|B}} to reload the supply (and therefore reset the coconut icon) so that DK can fire coconuts again. The supply cannot be reloaded until every coconut is used.

'''Crosshair Cranky''' is a mini-game mode exclusively appearing in the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Color)|Game Boy Color version]] of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. [[Cranky Kong|Cranky]] is named in the title, though he does not appear anywhere within the mode.
A mood icon of Donkey Kong is displayed in the bottom-left corner. By default, Donkey Kong's icon is happy. His mood will gradually worsen for each mistake that he makes, such as failing to fire at a Kritter on time. If he makes four mistakes, Donkey Kong loses. Every stage has a counter set to a specific number, which gradually decreases (usually by numbers of one) if Donkey Kong meets an objective. When the counter successfully decreases down to zero, Donkey Kong clears the stage.  
==Gameplay==
 
Donkey Kong starts from the position of [[Kongo Jungle]] on the [[Donkey Kong Island]] map, except it is inaccessible. The only other places are along near the shore of [[Donkey Kong Island]], and none of them can be accessed in the main game at all. The mode has a two-player equivalent where the second player is represented by a [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] with a blue cap, both of whom compete to complete every stage first.<ref>{{cite|url=youtu.be/KJhajd_1Qfo?feature=shared&t=21|timestamp=0:21|language=en|title=Donkey Kong Country (2000, GBC) - ENABLE THE LINK CABLE - 2 exclusive multiplayer mini games|date=December 2, 2023|author=Zack “SquallSnake” G|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=November 4, 2024}}</ref> Every stage involves shooting [[coconut]]s at targets, which are usually [[Kremling]]s. Each time a coconut is fired, a section of the coconut icon in the center is filled, going in clockwise order from top left to bottom right. Once four coconuts have been used, the player has to reload manually before they can shoot more. A mood icon of Donkey Kong is at the bottom left, showing him as happy by default, though his mood worsens each time a mistake is made, such as failing to hit a Kremling. If Donkey Kong makes four mistakes, he loses. Every stage has a counter set to a certain number, which decreases gradually if the objective is met, usually being when a Kremling is shot. When the counter reaches zero, Donkey Kong wins, and the game progress is saved.

If Donkey Kong misses too many Kremlings or hits too many Kongs, he loses.

|{{anchor|Barrel o' Kremlings}}[[File:DKC GBC Barrel O Kremlings.png]]<br>'''Barrel o' Kremlings'''
| {{anchor|Kremlings and Kongs}}[[File:DKC GBC Kremlings and Kongs.png]] || '''Kremlings and Kongs''' || The minigame starts with a round of [[banana]] bunches. The player must fire coconuts at fifty [[Kritter]]s, who try to steal these bananas. DK and Diddy also occasionally appear on the scene and should not be shot. If the player misses too many Kritters or misfires at too many Kongs, they lose. The stage is set in a temple and therefore has the "Voices of the Temple" theme.  
|The object is to hit Kremlings, though missing too many results in a loss.<ref>{{cite|author=Game dialogue|date=2000|title=''Donkey Kong Country''|format=Game Boy Color|quote='''Barrel o' Kremlings''': Hit the Kremlings, but miss too many and you're out.|publisher=Nintendo|language=en}}</ref> The counter starts at 100,<ref>{{cite|language=en|author=VideoGamePhenom|url=youtu.be/eadG2_kNI8Q?feature=shared&t=13|timestamp=0:13|title=Donkey Kong Country (GBC) - Crosshair Cranky - Barrel o' Kremlings|date=June 13, 2020|publisher=YouTube}}</ref> decreasing by one, two, and five units by hitting green, blue, and red Kremlings, respectively. This stage is heavily based on [[Kremling Kosh!]] from ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. The untitled forest theme plays.

|{{anchor|Kremling Krackdown}}[[File:DKC GBC Kremling Krackdown.png]]<br>'''Kremling Krackdown'''
| {{anchor|Barrel O' Kremlings}}[[File:DKC GBC Barrel O Kremlings.png]] || '''Barrel O' Kremlings''' || Kritters randomly pop out of barrels and must be shot with coconuts. The player must score 100 points by shooting Kritters of various colors, each color being worth a certain amount of points--green Kritters are worth a point, blue Kritters are worth two, and red Kritters are worth five. If the player fails to shoot a certain amount of Kritters, they lose the stage. This stage is heavily based on the ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' Bonus Stage, [[Kremling Kosh]].
|Kremlings have to be hit again to stop them from stealing the [[Banana Bunch]]es.<ref>{{cite|author=Game dialogue|date=2000|language=en|title=''Donkey Kong Country''|format=Game Boy Color|quote='''Kremling Krackdown''': Stop the Kremlings from stealing any banana bunches.|publisher=Nintendo}}</ref> There are 70 Kremlings to shoot,<ref>{{cite|author=VideoGamePhenom|url=youtu.be/MkcZedux0y8?feature=shared&t=12|timestamp=0:12|language=en|date=June 13, 2020|title= Donkey Kong Country (GBC) - Crosshair Cranky - Kremling Krackdown|publisher=YouTube}}</ref> and since no Kongs appear, the stage is simpler than Kremlings and Kongs. The stage takes place in a jungle environment, so "[[DK Island Swing]]" plays in the background.
 
This stage erroneously plays the forest theme even though it is situated on a wooden pier near the island's shore.

|{{anchor|Buddies Beware}}[[File:DKC GBC Buddies Beware.png|160px]]<br>'''Buddies Beware'''
| {{anchor|Kremling Krackdown}}[[File:DKC GBC Kremling Krackdown.png]] || '''Kremling Krackdown''' || The player must shoot 70 Kritters, all of whom attempt to steal the bananas again. The stage has a jungle setting, and the background music is "DK Island Swing".  
|The player has to plug holes with coconuts to help [[Animal Friend|buddies]] get across safely.<ref>{{cite|author=Game dialogue|date=2000|publisher=Nintendo|language=en|title=''Donkey Kong Country''|format=Game Boy Color|quote='''Buddies Beware''': Plug the holes with coconuts to help the buddies.}}</ref> There are twenty-five buddies (consisting of [[Expresso]]s, [[Rambi]]s, and [[Winky]]s) to help cross two holes over each of the three pathways,<ref>{{cite|url=youtu.be/iQPM44F_Lu8?feature=shared&t=13|timestamp=0:13|author=VideoGamePhenom|title=Donkey Kong Country (GBC) - Crosshair Cranky - Buddies Beware|language=en|date=June 13, 2020|publisher=YouTube}}</ref> going from top to bottom. The buddies are always chased by big [[Gnawty]]s, which have no gameplay purpose. If too many buddies fall into the holes, the player loses. Only two coconuts can be used before the player has to reload, unlike other stages. A coconut patches a hole only up until the buddy crosses it. The stage is comparable to [[Peril Path Panic!]] from ''Donkey Kong 64'', though it takes place in a jungle area and plays DK Island Swing like the previous stage.
|-

|{{anchor|Wanted}}[[File:DKC GBC Wanted.png]]<br>'''Wanted'''
| {{anchor|Buddies Beware}}[[File:DKC GBC Buddies Beware.png]] || '''Buddies Beware''' || [[Rambi the Rhino|Rambi]], [[Expresso the Ostrich|Expresso]], and [[Winky the Frog|Winky]] are chased by a group of [[Gnawty|Gnawties]] and the Kongs must shoot coconuts in the holes so the Animal Buddies do not fall through it. They must do it 25 times to complete the stage. Each fired coconut will darken a half of the counter, which no longer has lines to divide it into four sections. The coconuts only temporarily patch the holes and disappear after an Animal Buddy crosses over it. The counter, originally set at 25, decreases by a number after an Animal Buddy exits from the right side of the third and bottommost path. The stage's difficulty increases halfway through (when the counter is down at 12), as more Animal Buddies start to spawn from the paths and even run faster. The player loses if too many of the Animal Buddies fall down the holes. This mini-game is similar to the Bonus Stage [[Peril Path Panic]] from ''Donkey Kong 64''.
|The player has to shoot at the requested Kremling specifically.<ref>{{cite|author=Game dialogue|date=2000|language=en|publisher=Nintendo|title=''Donkey Kong Country''|format=Game Boy Color|quote='''Wanted''': Hit the wanted Kremling. Misses will cost you.}}</ref> The stage is set up similarly to Barrel o' Kremlings, mainly because the Kremlings are also in barrels, and the counter starts at 70.<ref>{{cite|author=VideoGamePhenom|date=June 13, 2020|title=Donkey Kong Country (GBC) - Crosshair Cranky - Wanted|language=en|publisher=YouTube|url=youtu.be/LpSkjXkr2_w?feature=shared&t=11|timestamp=0:11}}</ref> The stage begins with the area darkening and either a red, a blue, or a green Kremling peeking out of a barrel; this is the Kremling that has to be fired at amongst the others that also appear from the barrels when the area brightens. There are purple and gray Kremlings, though neither is programmed to ever be one of the targets.{{ref needed}} Later on, a few Kremlings are wanted at once, increasing the difficulty. If the player shoots an incorrect Kremling four times or misses the targets too much, they lose. The stage takes place in a dark area and plays the "Cave Dweller Concert" theme.
 
Just like Kremling Krackdown, this stage is set in a jungle and plays the "DK Island Swing" theme. The minigame plays similarly to the Game & Watch game ''[[Manhole (Game & Watch)|Manhole]]''.

| {{anchor|Wanted}}[[File:DKC GBC Wanted.png]] || '''Wanted''' || {{redirect|Wanted|a minigame from [[Super Mario 64 DS]] and [[New Super Mario Bros.]]|[[Wanted!]]}}
|The only stage without an intro,<ref>{{cite|author=VideoGamePhenomHD|date=June 13, 2020|url=youtu.be/XSnzmFbTq6s?feature=shared&t=1|timestamp=0:01|title=Donkey Kong Country (GBC) - Crosshair Cranky - Galleon Gunner|publisher=YouTube|language=en}}</ref> Galleon Gunner involves firing coconuts at the six cannons on the side of [[Gangplank Galleon]], and it also has its namesake theme as the background music. [[King K. Rool]] can be seen on-board, controlling the cannons to come out and retract back into the ship. The counter is set to 36 and decreases by one each time the player hits a cannon out. After a cannon is shot, it goes back into the ship. Each cannon takes six hits to completely destroy. If the player takes four hits, they lose. Once every cannon is destroyed, the player wins, and an animation is shown of K. Rool jumping around the ship angrily.
 
This stage's objective is similar to Barrel O' Kremlings except that the player has to fire at specific Kritters in the barrels, known as the "wanted" ones. After the player accesses the stage, the lights go out and a Kritter (either red, blue, green, purple, or black) pokes its head out a barrel; this Kritter is the "wanted" one, as indicated by its color. The Kritter then retreats in its barrel, the lights turn on, and many Kritters start to pop their heads out of barrels. The player must only shoot a coconut at the "wanted" Kritter. The cycle repeats, and the number of wanted Kritters increases (thus increasing the difficulty) as the stage progresses. The player loses if they hit the incorrect Kritter four times or miss too many of the wanted ones. The stage is set inside a cave and plays the "Cave Dweller Concert" theme.

| {{anchor|Galleon Gunner}}[[File:DKC GBC Galleon Gunner.png]] || '''Galleon Gunner''' || The player must shoot coconuts at [[Gangplank Galleon]]'s six cannons, all of which are at the side of the ship. King K. Rool is on-board the ship and operates the cannons. The counter is set at 36, and the player must destroy every cannon by firing at each one six times. The counter decreases by one for every cannon that is shot. The player can only shoot a cannon after K. Rool pulls it out; they have to quickly fire coconuts at the cannons before the cannons fire first. After the player shoots a cannon, it retracts into the ship. The player loses at the stage if they get hit by cannonballs four times. After the player destroys every cannon, K. Rool furiously jumps around in his ship and the minigame is completed. If the minigame is completed for the first time, the player will unlock the Banner Creator, accessible from the Selection menu. Galleon Gunner plays the Gangplank Galleon theme.
