"Follow That Coconut" is the thirty-third episode of the Donkey Kong Country television series and the seventh episode of season three. It was the thirty-fifth episode to air in North America. Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong and the Kremlings try to separate and claim the real Crystal Coconut from a fake.
Plot synopsis[edit]
One day before the annual soccer game against the lizards, Diddy Kong asks Donkey Kong if he is nervous about the game, to which he asks why he should be nervous. Diddy reminds DK that he is the star player and that he has not practiced yet, and that if they lose it will be the first time ever, but DK does not seem worried. DK decides to practice with a coconut that he found. Meanwhile, General Klump and Krusha spy on the Kongs from behind a fake bush until DK kicks the coconut, landing on the lizards and exposing them. The two run away when DK and Diddy start going after them, with Krusha taking the coconut.
At the hideout, Krusha and Klump are playing with the coconut ball until King K. Rool comes and reminds them not to play indoors, but he then mistakes the ball for the Crystal Coconut. Klump tells King K. Rool that he is mistaken, which angers him at first, but gives him an idea to switch the coconut with the real Crystal Coconut.
Meanwhile, at Cranky's Cabin, Cranky Kong, who is the coach for the soccer team, is teaching DK and Diddy about his winning and complicated play he had taught Bluster Kong and Eddie the Mean Old Yeti for the first of the annual soccer games. The two Kongs get bored and throw paper airplanes at Cranky, angering him and causing him to forget what the winning play was, so he leaves to ask Bluster if he remembers. Klump and Krusha decide to use Cranky's absence as a chance to come in and switch the Crystal Coconut with the regular coconut.
At Bluster Barrelworks, Cranky tries to ask Bluster if he remembers the winning soccer play, but Bluster is unable to hear him over the loud noise of the factory. Cranky instead tries to remember the play himself.
Back at the cabin, Klump calls the Kongs out and DK sees Klump with the regular coconut, which he mistakes for the Crystal Coconut. Klump also pretends that it is the Crystal Coconut and throws it into the air, with DK catching it. When he and Diddy try to put the coconut back in the case, they see the real Crystal Coconut already there and get confused. Klump then takes the real Crystal Coconut and, after a scuffle with the Kongs, the two lizards manage to leave with it, leaving the Kongs with the fake. Cranky returns, having remembered the winning play, but the lizards trample him on their way out, making him forget the play once more.
DK and Diddy try to explain to Cranky that they were protecting the Crystal Coconut, but he just blames DK for making him forget the winning play. DK suggests to Cranky that the Crystal Coconut can help him remember, and Cranky happily says that this is the first intelligent thing that DK said in ages, and tries to use the coconut that is in the cabin, not knowing that it is the fake. Meanwhile King K. Rool is elated at finally having the Crystal Coconut. K. Rool sings gleefully over his victory, while Cranky sings unhappily about this and scolds DK and Diddy for letting it happen, sending them out to reclaim it.
On their way to the hideout, DK and Diddy are practicing soccer with the regular coconut when Diddy suggests that they should fool the lizards the same way they themselves had been fooled. Once King K. Rool and Klump are asleep, the Kongs invite Krusha to play soccer and tell him to bring his own ball. Krusha takes the Crystal Coconut from the sleeping King K. Rool to use as the ball.

He has had enough of his cronies failing, so he decides to once again switch the coconut himself and they all head off to the White Mountains, hoping to surprise the Kongs by approaching from the mountains.
