"Buried Treasure" is the eighth episode of the Donkey Kong Country television series, although it was the ninth episode to air in North America. During the episode, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, and Funky Kong find a map, and, in turn, others on the island also discover the map's existence. The Kongs go on a treasure hunt, but it soon devolves into mayhem. Unlike all other episodes of the cartoon series, this episode does not involve the Crystal Coconut.
Plot synopsis[edit]
The episode begins with Cranky Kong relaxing on the beach on his weekend vacation. While the ape tries to enjoy himself, several bees begin to pester him.
Meanwhile, Donkey and Diddy Kong eat and talk at the banana plantation. The two discuss how Cranky is enjoying his vacation. As Diddy Kong wonders what they are going to do today, the Kongs spot Funky flying on top of his plane. This makes Donkey Kong excited, and he jumps up and down, not noticing the banana peel on the ground. The ape accidentally slips on the peel and slides to the ground, landing on a strange bottle. Inside the bottle, the Kongs find a map leading to an X. Diddy explains that the X stands for treasure, but Donkey Kong replies by saying, "There's no X in treasure, Diddy." This makes Diddy angrily turn his face red and stomp on his hat. He angrily screams that it is a treasure map showing that X marks the spot. The Kongs excitedly leave the plantation to find the treasure. Bluster Kong hears them as he looks for a lost coin and decides to find the treasure to become richer.
Bluster heads near the entrance of Bluster Barrelworks, where he is ready to find treasure in his helicopter. Candy Kong and Dixie Kong notice him in the copter and ask where DK is. Bluster tries not to tell them that he is on a treasure hunt, but accidentally gives it away. Candy becomes angry that Donkey Kong is standing her up for a treasure hunt, but Dixie reminds her about the treasure. The two quickly jump into Bluster's helicopter to find the treasure, giving him no choice but to fly them.
At that time, King K. Rool is playing a video game on a computer monitor-like device. Just as he is about to beat his high-score, General Klump appears on the monitor, canceling the king's game. K. Rool becomes greatly enraged and destroys the device as a result, so Klump speaks to him by phone instead. General Klump explains that he has seen the Kongs heading to the mountain mines searching for buried treasure. King K. Rool thinks this treasure is "a doomsday device capable of destroying the whole island." The Kremlings heads out to find this buried treasure, commanding Krusha to take care of the phone they are using to speak to Klump. Just as the crocodile leaves, a silhouette is shown of Krusha jumping on the phone.

Bluster, Candy, and Dixie Kong in a helicopter follow from behind, fighting about who will be given the treasure when they reach it; Candy Kong wants to use her share of treasure to by Bluster's factory, but Bluster insists that he will be given all of the treasure.
