The '''Monkey Museum''' 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 world, including the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Lost World]] but not including [[The Flying Krock]]. The Monkey Museum is the successor to [[Cranky's Cabin]] from the first ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''.
The '''Monkey Museum''', alternatively '''Cranky's Monkey Museum'''<ref name=manual>{{cite|language=en-us|title=''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet|page=26|date=1995|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> and renamed '''[[Cranky's Hut]]''' in the [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|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 Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] receive tips and advice from Cranky, with even the background music being a rearrangement of that of Cranky's Cabin. Cranky does not rant as frequently in Monkey Museum, usually only doing so when the Kongs enter and exit the location. The Kongs can now choose which advice to hear from Cranky, differing between each world as it involves their levels, and is either free or priced anywhere between one to three [[Banana Coin]]s.


In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, Cranky Kong resides in a new location similar to the Monkey Museum, [[Cranky's Hut]]. Here, he does not only provide information but also hosts the minigame [[Expresso Racing]].
Various artifacts appear in the background of the Monkey Museum, including [[Banana]]s, a [[Rare]] symbol, a [[Nintendo]] logo, an oversized [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] controller, a ''{{iw|strategywiki|Killer Instinct}}'' arcade cabinet, a [[Donkey Kong]] statue above the arcade cabinet, a poster of {{wp|List of Killer Instinct characters#Chief Thunder|Chief Thunder}} from ''Killer Instinct'', [[Funky Kong]]'s surfboard, a mounted [[Kruncha]] head, a motionless [[Winky]] figure, a "[[Donkey Kong|DK]]" symbol, a golden [[Expresso]] statue, a [[Banana Coin]], two [[barrel]]s, a tipped over [[Mine Cart]], two pirate swords, and game cartridges.


== Overview ==
Cranky occasionally asks the Kongs if they have tried the game "Cranky Kong Country," mentioning it 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. In the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|remake]] of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', Cranky has a [[Cranky's Dojo|dojo]], where he trains himself for the same adventure, ''Cranky Kong Country'', likely hoping for a successful game starring himself.
Like Cranky's Cabin, the main purpose of the location is for [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] receive tips and advice from Cranky. Most of it reveals [[Bonus Area]] entrances amongst other collectibles such as [[DK 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.


Monkey Museum can be considered as an enhancement to Cranky's Cabin. Instead of providing random advice regardless of the location, the Kongs select their advice from a dropdown menu, which changes based on the world. The advice covers every level of each world, and is usually priced at one to three [[Banana Coin|Banana Bunch Coin]]s. However, the first one or two options are usually free of charge. The menu options are organized from least to most expensive.
In the remake, Cranky keeps his pet, [[Expresso]], caged up in the hut for the players to raise and enhance his stats using [[golden feather]]s for the [[minigame]], [[Expresso Racing]]. The shelves display trophies from winning the Expresso Racing minigame in their usual gold, silver, and bronze colors for if the player wins first, second, and third place, respectively. The outside is more clearly seen, due to the zoomed-in world map compared to the original version The interior is completely different, especially from no longer featuring cameos from other Rare-owned properties, not including the Rare logo atop Expresso's cage.

==Inventory==
The Monkey Museum may also double as a typical museum, as it has various artifacts in the background. Most of them were not retained in Cranky's Hut for the Game Boy Advance version.

—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, with even the background music being a rearrangement of that of Cranky's Cabin. Cranky does not rant as frequently in Monkey Museum, usually only doing so when the Kongs enter and exit the location. The Kongs can now choose which advice to hear from Cranky, differing between each world as it involves their levels, and is either free or priced anywhere between one to three Banana Coins.

Various artifacts appear in the background of the Monkey Museum, including Bananas, a Rare 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" symbol, a golden Expresso statue, a Banana Coin, two barrels, a tipped over Mine Cart, two pirate swords, and game cartridges.

Cranky occasionally asks the Kongs if they have tried the game "Cranky Kong Country," mentioning it 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. 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.

In the remake, Cranky keeps his pet, Expresso, caged up in the hut for the players to raise and enhance his stats using golden feathers for the minigame, Expresso Racing. The shelves display trophies from winning the Expresso Racing minigame in their usual gold, silver, and bronze colors for if the player wins first, second, and third place, respectively. The outside is more clearly seen, due to the zoomed-in world map compared to the original version The interior is completely different, especially from no longer featuring cameos from other Rare-owned properties, not including the Rare logo atop Expresso's cage.
