During a stormy day, [[Cranky Kong]] is at [[Cranky's Cabin|his house]], admiring his latest work: a [[Donkey Kong]] statue. He begins to state the epitaph he will inscribe upon it, until the [[Crystal Coconut]] shows DK at [[Funky's Flights]], eating a lot of [[Banana]]s. Using a hologram, he instantly appears at the shack, just to scold him and tell him to go to the cabin, stating that he has a job just before disappearing. Donkey Kong is worried and talk to [[Funky Kong]], who is "indoors surfing", while [[Diddy Kong]] searches for something to play with, and finds a weird lamp. Funky explains that the lamp is a mystic oracle that can predict the future, but Donkey Kong thinks that future prediction is a joke. Funky says that he can translate the lamp's predictions, making Diddy interested. The ape starts to sing a song to the mystic oracle. Funky predicts that he will go surf that day with many waves, and that Diddy will be called the smartest monkey that ever lived. DK bursts out laughing, saying, "Now I know your lamp is broken!" Diddy then asks to Funky to see Donkey Kong's future. Funky says that DK will be lonely in the week. However, Donkey Kong still doesn't believe, explaining that he has a date with [[Candy Kong]] every night that week. The storm ends, and Funky goes surfing, exactly as the oracle predicted. DK thinks that it is just a coincidence. [[General Klump]] and [[Krusha]] hear all the talk behind some barrels, and Klump contacts [[King K. Rool]] via a walkie-talkie, stating that a mystic oracle (believing it to be a person) is telling the Kongs the future. | During a stormy day, [[Cranky Kong]] is at [[Cranky's Cabin|his house]], admiring his latest work: a [[Donkey Kong]] statue.

Diddy and Donkey Kong go to the jungle, where [[Dixie Kong]] is sad, because her fishing rod is broken. Diddy instantly fixes it, and Dixie kisses him, saying that he is "the smartest monkey that ever lived" just before leaving. Diddy remembers that the mystic oracle predicted this, and is even more convinced that the lamp really predicts the future, though Donkey Kong still doesn't believe. He then states that he has to get to Cranky's, then turns around and notices the old ape's hologram behind him. His sudden appearance scares them, and they run off. Klump and Krusha emerge from the bushes, having witnessed everything. | Diddy and Donkey Kong go to the jungle, where [[Dixie Kong]] is sad, because her fishing rod is broken.

In Cranky's house, Cranky, still in hologram form, is accidentally hit by Donkey and Diddy as they run in, turning him back to normal. Diddy then notices the statue, and begins admiring it. DK says that it is "a chip off the old block". Cranky then explains that he has to think of an epitaph for the statue. Diddy then states that the epitaph might be part of the oracle's third prediction, and explains it to Cranky, but the old ape also thinks that it's a lie and kicks them out of his house. | In Cranky's house, Cranky, still in hologram form, is accidentally hit by Donkey and Diddy as they run in, turning him back to normal.

After the lamp is taken back by both groups several times, Donkey, Diddy, and Funky exit the caverns, emerging at the [[Gorilla Glacier|White Mountains]] and braking before they fall off a cliff. K. Rool, Klump, and Krusha soon follow, and the king forces the Kongs to give him the lamp before he pushes the mine cart off the cliff. As a last request, Donkey Kong asks Funky if he could throw the lamp down into the abyss, and, after gaining permission, proceeds to do so. K. Rool watches as the lamp falls, Donkey Kong stating to a worried Diddy that he has realized too much knowledge can be dangerous. K. Rool then begins to slip, and Klump attempts to save him, though both are sent falling into the abyss. Krusha then follows, by foolishly leaping off the ledge. The three then begin to roll down the cliff, K. Rool having gotten "what he deserves". Funky Kong is on another nearby ledge, and starts to surf in the snow, also fulfilling his predicition. Though Diddy states that the oracle was ultimately correct, DK still wishes to control his own fate and figures out what the epitaph should be. Cranky, as a hologram, appears once again and demands the epitaph. Donkey Kong states what he thought of, and Cranky's world is satisfactorily rocked. As K. Rool, Klump, and Krusha continue crashing, Diddy states that "you don't need a mystic oracle to know that's gotta hurt" and the two laugh. | After the lamp is taken back by both groups several times, Donkey, Diddy, and Funky exit the caverns, emerging at the [[Gorilla Glacier|White Mountains]] and braking before they fall off a cliff.
