'''Cranky's Cabin''', later renamed to '''Cranky's Hut''' for the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, is the home of [[Cranky Kong]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] can visit this location to receive advice and hear ramblings from Cranky.

'''Cranky's Cabin''' is the home of [[Cranky Kong]]. It is made out of a barrel, with an opening carved in the side for an entrance. The building has a stone-coated metal roof, which a long chimney stems out from. A neon sign of the [[Nintendo]] logo is hanging above the entrance, and a [[Giant Banana]] is sitting to the left of the cabin. Located to the right is a large crate appearing to be a [[animal crate|Rambi Crate]], on which a silhouetted emblem of [[Rambi]]'s face is printed. There is an official artwork showing Donkey Kong and Diddy at Cranky's Cabin. It appears to be during the evening, as evidenced from the orange sky. The scene shows a crate reading "2L84ME" (too late for me) in red text, later included on the [[Barrel Cannon]]s in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.


Cranky Kong would later run the [[Monkey Museum]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', and [[Cranky's Lab]] in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', he runs his own dojo, titled [[Cranky's Dojo]]. In ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', Cranky runs his own [[Cranky Kong's Shop|shop]], whose design appears to have been inspired from his original cabin. The location's theme is even a rendition of that of Cranky's Cabin's.

Although it appears to be situated in the [[Kongo Jungle]], Cranky's Cabin appears in every area of [[Donkey Kong Island]]. Regardless of the current world, Cranky's Cabin is surrounded by jungle foliage. Cranky is often shown sitting at the porch of his cabin.
In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|second remake]], Cranky's Cabin takes place indoors. It has a few apparent background details that reference a few other Rare games, including the mask of {{iw|jiggywikki|Mumbo Jumbo}} from the ''[[jiggywikki:Banjo-Kazooie (series)|Banjo-Kazooie]]'' games and the mounted head of Sabre Wulf, the main villain of ''{{wp|Sabreman}}''. The hints of where hidden [[photograph]]s are located have been added as well.<ref name="gba"/>


In addition to his advice, Cranky lives up to his name by complaining, often breaking the [[fourth wall]] in the process. He constantly whines about how the games from his glory days (such as the original ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'') were much better than the newer one. Cranky makes other complaints such as over modern graphics, which he deems as too bright and colorful, or his swaying beard being a "waste of frames" from the game's end.
Cranky would have originally given more hints regarding levels in later [[world]]s,<ref>{{cite|url=tcrf.net/Donkey_Kong_Country_(SNES)#Level_Tips|title=''Donkey Kong Country'' (SNES) § Level Tips|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|language=en}}</ref> but a majority of advice involves the levels of [[Kongo Jungle]]. The GBA version implements these tips.


Occasionally, Cranky says he would invite Donkey and Diddy indoors but the game cannot allocate the memory allowing him to do so. Ironically, in the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, Cranky's Cabin takes place indoors, and it now features new background details. The mask of Mumbo Jumbo, a character from ''{{wp|Banjo-Kazooie (series)|Banjo-Kazooie}}'' is lying on Steel Barrels right outside the screen. The decapitated head of Sabre Wulf, the main villain of ''{{wp|Sabreman}}'', is mounted on the cabin's wall, next to the entrance. Sabre Wulf does not appear to be dead because his eyes continue to blink in spite of his decapitation. To the left of Sabre Wulf's head is a framed picture above a television set with a flashing static screen.
===''Donkey Kong Land''===
Cranky's cabin is the setting of the backstory in the manual of ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''.<ref>{{cite|title=''Donkey Kong Land'' instruction booklet|page=2|date=1995|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en|quote=Donkey and Diddy tried to discreetly cover their ears as they stared out into the jungle surrounding Cranky's cabin.}}</ref>


There is an official artwork showing Donkey Kong and Diddy at Cranky's Cabin. It appears to be during the evening, as evidenced from the orange sky. Instead of a Rambi Crate, the scene shows a crate reading "2L84ME" (too late for me) in red text. This text was later included on the [[Barrel Cannon]]s in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.
===''Donkey Kong Country'' television series===
[[File:Treehouse.png|thumb|Cranky's Cabin in the television series]]
In the [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' television series]], Cranky's Cabin, instead of being located on the ground, is high in the trees. The design of Cranky's Cabin was made rounded and larger and had a variety of booby traps located near it, which could be activated to ward off enemies. The Cabin's interior has a safe located in the center of the hut, and also has a piano and potion making equipment.
 
The safe within the cabin is the holding place of the [[Crystal Coconut]] in the show, which [[Donkey Kong]] spends much of his time guarding. On several occasions, [[King K. Rool]] is able to sneak into the cabin and get the Coconut, and other times, he is able to trick, or even use magic, to get someone else to go in and get it for him (such as when he uses the love potion to get [[Candy Kong]] to go in and steal it for him in "[[A Thin Line Between Love & Ape]]"). The walkway to the cabin is booby-trapped with [[Trigger Barrel]]s that when jumped on, send anyone unfortunate enough to be standing on it flying or falling. This is featured in several episodes, and is often used to thwart K. Rool from stealing the coconut.

===''Donkey Kong Country''===
[[File:Cranky's Hut (Donkey Kong Country GBA).png|thumb|Donkey Kong at Cranky's Cabin in the Game Boy Advance remake.]]
The [[Kong]]s can optionally visit Cranky for level advice, usually regarding [[Animal Token]] and [[Bonus Area]] locations from the first world, Kongo Jungle. The Kongs visit the location in the ending, after defeating [[King K. Rool]] in [[Gangplank Galleon]], where Cranky congratulates them for recovering their [[Banana Hoard]] supply.


Once the [[Kong]]s defeat [[King K. Rool]] and recover the stolen [[Banana]]s, they will take a trip to Cranky's Cabin, where the old ape will congratulate them, and comment on whether or not they found all of the Bonus Areas in the game. Afterwards, he will tell the Kongs to return to the [[Banana Hoard]], so they can see that it's been replenished.

Cranky's Cabin is on {{iw|smashwiki|DK Island (World of Light)|DK Island}}, a recreation of [[Kongo Jungle]], in {{iw|smashwiki|Adventure Mode: World of Light}}.

Unlike [[Funky Kong|Funky]] and [[Candy Kong|Candy]]'s locations, Cranky's Hut served an identical purpose in the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake.
===''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''===
Cranky's Cabin is Cranky's base of operations in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', particularly when he discusses a strategy with [[Mario]] and [[Princess Peach]] to get ahead of [[Bowser]] and his army. It resembles his shop from ''Donkey Kong Country Returns''.

===Unused appearances===
Although Cranky's Cabin does not appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'' itself, the manual has it as the location where Donkey and Diddy make a bet with Cranky over recovering their bananas from the [[Kremling Krew]] again on a handheld system.

[[File:Treehouse.png|thumb|left|Cranky's Cabin in the television series]]
In the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (show)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' animated series, Cranky's Cabin, instead of being located on the ground, is high in the trees, possibly in the television series equivalent of [[Tree Top Town]]. The appearance of Cranky's Cabin was also altered in the cartoon series; it was made rounded and larger and had a variety of booby traps located near it, which could be activated to ward off enemies. The Cabin's interior has a safe located in the center of the hut, and unlike the games also has a piano and potion making equipment.
The safe within the cabin is the holding place of the [[Crystal Coconut]] in the show, which [[Donkey Kong]] spends much of his time guarding. On several occasions, [[King K. Rool]] is able to sneak into the cabin and get the Coconut, and other times, he is able to trick, or even use magic, to get someone else to go in and get it for him (such as when he uses the love potion to get [[Candy Kong]] to go in and steal it for him in ''[[A Thin Line Between Love & Ape]]''). The walkway to the cabin is booby-trapped with [[barrel]]s that when jumped on, send anyone unfortunate enough to be standing on it flying into an abyss. This is featured in several episodes, and is often used to prevent K. Rool from apprehending the Coconut.

Cranky's Hut makes a cameo in the 2003 ''[[Diddy Kong Pilot (2003)|Diddy Kong Pilot]]'', and it also shown in a jungle setting. It is the location where Cranky communicates to the player from during various parts of the game. The iconic Nintendo logo and Giant Banana reappear in the scenery.
====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====
Cranky's Cabin makes a cameo appearance in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' in the DK Island subarea of the World of Light, which in itself is a recreation of the [[Kongo Jungle]] world map from ''Donkey Kong Country''. Cranky Kong's [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros.

Cranky's Cabin is the home of Cranky Kong. It is made out of a barrel, with an opening carved in the side for an entrance. The building has a stone-coated metal roof, which a long chimney stems out from. A neon sign of the Nintendo logo is hanging above the entrance, and a Giant Banana is sitting to the left of the cabin. Located to the right is a large crate appearing to be a Rambi Crate, on which a silhouetted emblem of Rambi's face is printed. There is an official artwork showing Donkey Kong and Diddy at Cranky's Cabin. It appears to be during the evening, as evidenced from the orange sky. The scene shows a crate reading "2L84ME" (too late for me) in red text, later included on the Barrel Cannons in Super Smash Bros. Melee.

Cranky Kong would later run the Monkey Museum in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, and Cranky's Lab in Donkey Kong 64. In the remake of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, Cranky runs his own dojo. In Donkey Kong Country Returns, Cranky runs his own shop, whose design appears to have been inspired from his original cabin. The location's theme is even a rendition of that of Cranky's Cabin's.

History[edit]

Donkey Kong Country[edit]

Cranky's Cabin first appears in Donkey Kong Country. It is where Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong can go to hear Cranky's advice,[1] along with his rants,[1][2] especially over new game technology.[2][3][4] The Kongs always show up at Cranky's Cabin after completing Gang-Plank Galleon,[5] where Cranky congratulates them,[6] asks if they have discovered every bonus room,[7] and prompts them to go and check their banana hoard.[8]

In the second remake, Cranky's Cabin takes place indoors. It has a few apparent background details that reference a few other Rare games, including the mask of Mumbo Jumbo from the Banjo-Kazooie games and the mounted head of Sabre Wulf, the main villain of Sabreman. The hints of where hidden photographs are located have been added as well.[1]

Cranky would have originally given more hints regarding levels in later worlds,[9] but a majority of advice involves the levels of Kongo Jungle. The GBA version implements these tips.

Donkey Kong Land[edit]

Cranky's cabin is the setting of the backstory in the manual of Donkey Kong Land.[10]

Donkey Kong Country television series[edit]

Cranky's Cabin in the television series

In the Donkey Kong Country television series, Cranky's Cabin, instead of being located on the ground, is high in the trees. The design of Cranky's Cabin was made rounded and larger and had a variety of booby traps located near it, which could be activated to ward off enemies. The Cabin's interior has a safe located in the center of the hut, and also has a piano and potion making equipment.

The safe within the cabin is the holding place of the Crystal Coconut in the show, which Donkey Kong spends much of his time guarding. On several occasions, King K. Rool is able to sneak into the cabin and get the Coconut, and other times, he is able to trick, or even use magic, to get someone else to go in and get it for him (such as when he uses the love potion to get Candy Kong to go in and steal it for him in "A Thin Line Between Love & Ape"). The walkway to the cabin is booby-trapped with Trigger Barrels that when jumped on, send anyone unfortunate enough to be standing on it flying or falling. This is featured in several episodes, and is often used to thwart K. Rool from stealing the coconut.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]

Cranky's Cabin is on DK Island, a recreation of Kongo Jungle, in Adventure Mode: World of Light. Cranky Kong's spirit is fought in this location.[11]

The Super Mario Bros. Movie[edit]

Cranky's Cabin is Cranky's base of operations in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, particularly when he discusses a strategy with Mario and Princess Peach to get ahead of Bowser and his army. It resembles his shop from Donkey Kong Country Returns.

Unused appearances[edit]

Diddy Kong Pilot (2003)[edit]

Cranky's Cabin is in the background of the scenes where Cranky communicates to the player in the 2003 iteration of Diddy Kong Pilot.[12] Cranky's Cabin would be replaced with a scene of Bottles inside of his Molehill in Banjo-Pilot.
