Most of it reveals [[Bonus Area]] entrances amongst other collectibles such as [[DK Coin|Video Game Hero Coin]]s. The background music is even based on the original theme for Cranky's Cabin. Cranky does not rant as frequently in Monkey Museum, usually only doing so when the Kongs enter and exit the location. However, unlike before, Cranky does not randomly provide advice, but rather the Kongs select their advice from a dropdown menu. The menu options are organized from least to most expensive, and they differ between worlds. The advice covers every level of each world, and is usually priced at one to three [[Banana Coin]]s, though some of the advice is free.

In the Game Boy Advance remake, Cranky's Hut also hosts an extra [[minigame]], [[Expresso Racing]], making it no longer an optional location. Cranky keeps his pet, [[Expresso]], caged up in his hut. With [[golden feather]]s, [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]] can enhance Expresso's stats for Expresso Racing. Trophies that are won from Expresso Racing sit on the shelves of the hut. 1st place trophies are gold, 2nd place trophies are silver, and 3rd place trophies are bronze. The exterior of Cranky's Hut is now shown, revealed to greatly resemble the original Cranky's Cabin, except the red "NINTENDO" sign is replaced with a wooden "MUSEUM" one. The interior was also changed to have only a few unique objects in the background, none of which are cameos from other Rare-owned properties. The "DK" logo is hidden to the side, and the Rare logo is on top of Expresso's cage. The added objects include a racing flag at the entrance, a certificate with a red ribbon is hung to the right of it, four tires, a cage with a small Winky is in the center, a silver bucket next to it, and a barrel with some [[Banana Bunch]]es on it at the front.

“Look at all this junk in here! Treat my home like a trash can they do! No respect for their elders, that's the trouble...”
—Cranky Kong, Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest

The Monkey Museum, alternatively Cranky's Monkey Museum[1] and renamed Cranky's Hut in the remake, is a site where Cranky Kong has taken up residence in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. There is an establishment in every area of Crocodile Isle except The Flying Krock. Like its predecessor, Cranky's Cabin, the main purpose of the Monkey Museum is for Diddy and Dixie receive tips and advice from Cranky. Most of it reveals Bonus Area entrances amongst other collectibles such as Video Game Hero Coins. The background music is even based on the original theme for Cranky's Cabin. Cranky does not rant as frequently in Monkey Museum, usually only doing so when the Kongs enter and exit the location. However, unlike before, Cranky does not randomly provide advice, but rather the Kongs select their advice from a dropdown menu. The menu options are organized from least to most expensive, and they differ between worlds. The advice covers every level of each world, and is usually priced at one to three Banana Coins, though some of the advice is free.

Various artifacts appear in the background of the Monkey Museum, including Bananas, a Rareware symbol, a Nintendo logo, an oversized Super Nintendo Entertainment System controller, a Killer Instinct arcade cabinet, a Donkey Kong statue above the arcade cabinet, a poster of Chief Thunder from Killer Instinct, Funky Kong's surfboard, a mounted Kruncha head, a motionless Winky figure, a DK logo, a golden Expresso statue, a Banana Coin, two barrels, a tipped over Mine Cart, two pirate swords, and game cartridges.

In the Game Boy Advance remake, Cranky's Hut also hosts an extra minigame, Expresso Racing, making it no longer an optional location. Cranky keeps his pet, Expresso, caged up in his hut. With golden feathers, Diddy and Dixie Kong can enhance Expresso's stats for Expresso Racing. Trophies that are won from Expresso Racing sit on the shelves of the hut. 1st place trophies are gold, 2nd place trophies are silver, and 3rd place trophies are bronze. The exterior of Cranky's Hut is now shown, revealed to greatly resemble the original Cranky's Cabin, except the red "NINTENDO" sign is replaced with a wooden "MUSEUM" one. The interior was also changed to have only a few unique objects in the background, none of which are cameos from other Rare-owned properties. The "DK" logo is hidden to the side, and the Rare logo is on top of Expresso's cage. The added objects include a racing flag at the entrance, a certificate with a red ribbon is hung to the right of it, four tires, a cage with a small Winky is in the center, a silver bucket next to it, and a barrel with some Banana Bunches on it at the front.

Trivia

  • Cranky occasionally asks the Kongs if they have tried the game "Cranky Kong Country", which he claims was on sale a year ago. In reality, this is directly based on Donkey Kong Country releases one year prior in real life. Even though he dislikes the game, Cranky takes credit for causing its popularity instead of Donkey Kong. This implies that he might have been jealous of the game. In the remake of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, Cranky has a dojo, where he trains himself for the same adventure, Cranky Kong Country, likely hoping for a successful game starring himself.
