'''Wrinkly Kong''' is the wife of [[Cranky Kong]] and mother of [[Donkey Kong]], she is also an intelligent ally of the Kongs.
'''Wrinkly Kong''' (also known as '''Mrs. Kong''')<ref name=MrsKong>{{cite|author=Cranky Kong|quote=Sure beats a visit from Mrs. Kong! How can I help you?|publisher=[[Donkey Kong Country]]}}</ref> is an elderly [[Kong]] and the late wife of [[Cranky Kong]]. She first appeared in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', but has been deceased and a ghost since ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. Wrinkly mostly either provides information or saves the player's game progress.
==History==
===''Donkey Kong Country'' series===
====''Donkey Kong Country''====
While not physically appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', [[Cranky Kong]] mentions her in one of his lines.<ref name=MrsKong/>
====''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''====
[[File:WKong.jpg|thumb|Artwork from ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'']]
In her debut appearance, Wrinkly runs a school named the [[Kong Kollege]], where she can save [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]]'s game for two [[Banana Coin]]s in {{wp|Western world|Western}} releases and one Banana Coin in Japanese releases. Like Cranky's [[Monkey Museum]], Wrinkly provides hints that range from either no cost to a few Banana Coins. In various moments, Wrinkly alludes that the Kong Kollege is specifically a school for the [[Kremling]]s, including [[King K. Rool|Kaptain K. Rool]], whom she asks the [[Kong]]s to ask if he has done his homework.


In the [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], Diddy and Dixie can request homework from Wrinkly, where their assignment is to entirely fill a [[Scrapbook (Donkey Kong Country series)|Scrapbook]] with all 40 [[photograph]]s. Wrinkly gives a [[DK Coin|Hero Coin]] to them for every page they fill. Wrinkly no longer saves the player's progress, as this is done from the world map's {{button|GBA|Start}} menu.
The first appearance of Wrinkly Kong was in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Here Wrinkly manages the [[Kong Kollege]] where [[Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]] can save their game progress. Wrinkly, like her husband [[Cranky Kong]] can also give the Kongs information on the various items and objects found throughout the game.  


====''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''====
In the Game Boy Advance remake of ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' Dixie and Diddy can also do a homework assignment for Wrinkly, called Wrinkly's Task. The purpose of Wrinkly's Task is to fill up a scrapbook, given to the Kongs by Wrinkly with pictures. For every page of the scrapbook filled up Wrinkly will give the Kongs a [[DK Coin]].
[[File:Wrinkly Kong DKC3.png|thumb|150px|left|Artwork from ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'']]
Wrinkly also appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. Sometime after the events of ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', Wrinkly retired from teaching at Kong Kollege and moved to the [[Northern Kremisphere]] inside a [[Wrinkly's Save Cave]]. Like Kong Kollege, Wrinkly's Save Cave has a crucial role in saving the player's game progress, although it is free of charge. She no longer provides level hints, and she cares for the [[Banana Bird]]s rescued from various [[secret cave]]s. Whenever the Kongs enter her Save Cave, Wrinkly is performing one of four activities, either exercising, sitting on her couch either asleep or awake, or playing the [[Nintendo 64]].


In the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], Wrinkly's role has been lessened. She only runs a single sanctuary, named [[Wrinkly's Retreat]], from the main [[Northern Kremisphere]] map. There her only purpose is taking care of the Banana Birds rescued by Dixie and [[Kiddy Kong]]. As with ''Donkey Kong Country 2''{{'}}s Game Boy Advance remake, Wrinkly no longer saves the player's progress, which is instead done from the world map's {{button|GBA|Start}} menu.
Wrinkly next appeared in the Game Boy game, ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. Here she once again gives hints to Diddy and Dixie, along with saving the Kongs progress.
{{br|left}}


===''Donkey Kong Land'' series===
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]'' Wrinkly makes a return appearance. In this game Wrinkly seems to have retired as a teacher at the Kong Kollege, she now runs [[Wrinkly's Save Cave]]. In the cave Dixie and [[Kiddy Kong]] can save their game, the cave is also where the various [[Banana Bird]]s the Kongs collect are stored. In the Game Boy Advance remake of ''Donkey Kong Country 3'' Wrinkly's role is minimalized. Now Wrinkly serves no real purpose in the game except taking care of Banana Birds, which she seems to have become a spiritual follower of.
In the [[Donkey Kong Land (series)|''Donkey Kong Land'' series]], Wrinkly's role is consistent with her appearances in each game's corresponding ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' counterpart. In ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', she offers to save the player's game for two Banana Coins, just as in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', but she no longer offers any gameplay advice. In ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', Wrinkly retains her role of saving the Kongs' progress in ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', though a big difference is she no longer cares for the Banana Birds, as they do not make a reappearance. Additionally, Wrinkly does not perform various activities and is always sitting awake on her couch. One of Wrinkly's lines has a misspelling of [[Kremling]]: "Keep an eye out for those Kremlins!".


===''Club Nintendo''===
In ''[[Donkey Kong Land 3]]'' Wrinkly's role remains relatively the same, she saves the Kong's progress. The only real difference between roles is that Wrinkly no longer cares for Banana Birds, which aren't in the game.
Wrinkly is briefly seen in the ending of the ''[[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' comic, "[[Donkey Kong in: Banana Day 24]]", quarreling with Cranky. It is strongly implied that the reason is because Cranky kissed a random girl out of enthusiasm that [[Earth]] was saved.


===''Donkey Kong 64''===
In Wrinkly's next appearance, ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' it is revealed that she had passed on after the events of ''Donkey Kong Country 3''. In ''Donkey Kong 64'' Wrinkly now inhabits [[Wrinkly Door]]s which are found in the entrance of every area except [[Hideout Helm]]. If a Kong steps in front of a Wrinkly Door, Wrinkly will pop out and, using her supernatural powers give that Kong hints on what to do in the area that the Kong is in the entrance too.

[[File:DK64 Wrinkly Kong Artwork.png|thumb|Wrinkly Kong as a ghost in ''Donkey Kong 64'']]
In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', Wrinkly is revealed to have died sometime after the events of ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' and appears as a ghost. In every level's lobby, the active [[Kong]] can talk to Wrinkly from one of the five color-coded [[Wrinkly Door]]s. If the Kong steps in front of a Wrinkly Door of their color, a ghostly sound effect plays and Wrinkly comes out from the door. She gives a hint to the Kong on how they can obtain a [[Golden Banana]]. When talking to Wrinkly, a slower and major key version of [[Cranky's Lab]] plays. Her appearance as a ghost in this game would later continue into her future appearances.


Wrinkly is the game's only supporting character with an optional role and one that does not cost anything. She is also the only Kong in the game who does not appear during the end credits.
In ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'' Wrinkly, still a ghost, aids her husband Cranky in teaching her son, [[Donkey Kong]], in learning the unique controls of the game. Wrinkly is also playable in the game's Jungle Jam mode, where her partner is interestingly, a [[Kritter]].


===''DK'' series===
In ''[[DK Jungle Climber]]'', Wrinkly appears in the opening cutscene. Although she has official artwork, this is the only appearance in the entire game. This is similar to [[Candy Kong]] in the predecessor, ''DK: King of Swing''.
====''DK: King of Swing''====
In ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'', during the starting tutorial level [[Cranky's Lectures]], Wrinkly assists Cranky in teaching the basic controls to [[Donkey Kong]]. She demonstrates to him how to climb [[Peg Board]]s and how to charge an attack. Wrinkly is also unlockable in the Jungle Jam mode, her her first playable appearance in general, and she can be unlocked by obtaining every [[Crystal Coconut]]. In Jungle Jam, Wrinkly has a high jumping ability, tied with [[Dixie Kong]]'s, though she has an intermediate attack.


====''DK: Jungle Climber''====
In ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]'', Wrinkly is a secret playable character, unlocked by playing Candy's Challenges, Challenge 26 and having Wrinkly come in 1st place. Wrinkly is a rival to [[Kopter]] in this game.
Wrinkly makes a minor appearance in the opening cutscene for ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]'', having gone on vacation to [[Sun Sun Island]] with the other Kongs. She appears alongside Cranky, admiring the scenery, and carries a white umbrella. Despite only having one minor appearance, Wrinkly has official artwork for the game, similar to [[Candy Kong]] in ''DK: King of Swing''. She is unvoiced in this game.


===''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast''===
== Trophy Information from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' ==
In ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]'', Wrinkly is an unlockable playable character. She is unlocked by completing [[Candy's Challenges|Candy's Challenge]] #26: Let Wrinkly Kong Win!, which is level 4 in difficulty. As the name implies, Wrinkly must come in first in order to complete the challenge. Wrinkly's rival is [[Kopter]], and she has average boost and speed and maxed-out agility. Like all other playable characters, Wrinkly has the ability to perform [[Wild Move]]s.
[[Image:Wrinkly kong trophy.jpg|right|thumb|100px]]
''The wife of Cranky Kong. Wrinkly first appeared as director of Kong Kollege, where she provided game hints. Did you know King K. Rool was also a student of hers? After her passing, she appeared in Donkey Kong 64 as a ghost, where again... she provided hints.''


Wrinkly is the only playable Kong who does not appear on the game's title screen.
== Official Artwork ==
 
===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
In the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], Wrinkly only appears in the form of a few different items. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Wrinkly appears as both a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] and a [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]]. Her trophy heavily resembles her ''DK: Jungle Climber'' artwork, and ironically, Wrinkly's trophy incorrectly mentions her latest game appearance as ''Donkey Kong 64'' instead of ''DK: Jungle Climber'', though in the Japanese version, the trophy incorrectly lists Wrinkly's debut appearance as ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' for the Game Boy Advance. Wrinkly's sticker, which recycles her ''DK: King of Swing'' artwork, can only be used by Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, and equipping it raises resistance against battering attacks by four. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', Wrinkly returns as a trophy, which is featured in the "Donkey Kong and his friends" trophy box. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Wrinkly Kong appears as a [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]].
 
==General information==
===Physical appearance===
Back when she was alive, Wrinkly Kong was an old [[Kong]] with a similar build to her husband Cranky Kong. She is covered in brown fur, has grey hair on her head and she also wears glasses. In her debut in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', she wore a green blanket. In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', she wears a white and purple gymnastics outfit that has dark gray fur armbands, and also wears white and purple sneakers and a white and purple headband. In the [[Game Boy Advance|GBA]] remake of ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', she only wears a white coat and does not wear any shoes.
 
Ever since she became a ghost in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', Wrinkly still retained a similar appearance as in ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', except she is now white and translucent, has a wispy tail where her legs used to be, and wears a nightgown. In her current appearance introduced in ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'', she is no longer translucent and has gray fur, though her skin is rather white. Her glasses are much smaller and are oval shaped, compared to her previous semicircular ones, and her hair is covered by a white nightcap.
 
==Profiles and statistics==
===''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''===
*'''[[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]]:''' ''Wrinkly dumped her schoolmarm duds to take up the fitness craze. When she's not working out to aerobics videos, she's sharpening her reflexes on the Nintendo 64. Stop in for a visit and she'll save your game progress. Wrinkly's abode is also where the freed Banana Birds migrate to roost. Check out the flock whenever you save your game.''<ref>{{cite|author=Owsen, Dan, et al.|title=''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''

''APPEARS IN: DKC 2, 3''
 
''The younger Kongs often wonder how Wrinkly can put up with the endless grouching of her husband Cranky at all, let alone come away from it with her own kind, good-natured outlook still intact. Wrinkly was still teaching at Kong Kollege when Diddy and Dixie set out to rescue the kidnapped DK, but since then she's retired and moved away from all the Kremlings and screaming kids to a network of caves that run through the surrounding islands. These days she spends her time reading, exercising, feeding the banana birds and, when she thinks nobody's around, even playing the occasional video game.''<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/19990901063121/http://rareware.com/recent/games/dkc/castlist/cast_wrinkly.html|title=DKC Trilogy Cast List|publisher=Rarewhere|language=en-gb|accessdate=June 5, 2024}}</ref>

*'''Instruction booklet bio from [[Cranky Kong|Professor Cranky Kong]]''' (page 9): ''She may not be quite the same as you remember her from past adventures, but my good-natured wife will again be around to help you if you get stuck... which I’m sure you will.''
*'''[[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]]:''' ''Wrinkly Kong isn’t about to let a little thing like death keep her from helping her hairy kinfolk in their biggest adventure yet. The matriarch of the Kong family returns in ghostly form to give hints to the youngsters. Clearly, she enjoys tormenting them with half-truths and incomplete directions, but most of the time she coddles the kids with helpful suggestions. You can be sure to find Wrinkly’s sage advice behind any of the doors that show a picture of her face.''<ref>{{cite|author=Bihldorff, Nate, et al.|title=''Donkey Kong 64'' [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]]|page=6|date=1999|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en}}</ref>
*'''[[Prima Games]] guide:''' ''Wrinkly has come back in spirit form to help the Kong family defeat K. Rool. She can't fight the lizard's minions but she can provide tips and hints. In the lobby of each level are five Wrinkly doors. Approach one and Wrinkly will come out to bestow her knowledge.''<ref>{{cite|author=Barton, Jeff, et al.|title=''Donkey Kong 64'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|page=14|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|date=December 1, 1999|isbn=0-7615-2279-4|language=en-us}}</ref>
*'''German website''': ''After the last great adventure of the Kongs, Wrinkly, who was advanced in years, left us, much to the sadness of all involved. Nevertheless, she returns from the realm of the spirits to provide her friends and relatives with all kinds of important information and useful tips. In the lobby of each level there are five doors, each with a frame of a different color. If a Kong approaches one of these doors, Wrinkly appears and gives him a hint to uncover especially well-kept secrets. Wrinkly loves her friends and relatives so much that she even crosses the threshold of mortality in order to support them in the battle against the evil empire of the [[Kremling]]s.''
