'''Cranky Kong's Shop''' is a shop run by [[Cranky Kong]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and its [[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D|Nintendo 3DS]] and [[Donkey Kong Country Returns HD|Nintendo Switch]] ports. It serves as the successor to [[Cranky's Cabin]] from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', which according to Cranky himself, is due to his pension having been revoked.<ref>"They stopped paying my pension ages ago.

There is a shop in each of the eight worlds, although they all carry the same selection of goods at the same prices. Many useful items can be purchased at these shops in exchange for [[Banana Coin]]s. Although most of what Cranky sells is not mandatory, he does sell a [[key]] in each world, which will open up an alternate path on the map, allowing the player(s) to access additional levels. This is required for completing the game by 100 percent.
There is a shop in each of the eight worlds, although they all carry the same selection of goods at the same prices. Many useful items can be purchased at these shops in exchange for [[Banana Coin]]s. Most of what Cranky sells is optional, in that they only help the player complete the other levels and more easily collect items. The shop does sell a different [[Map Key]] in each world though, which opens up an alternate path on the Level Selection Screen in the world, allowing the player(s) to access an additional level. Completing every level is required for [[completion|100% completing]] the game, indirectly making the Map Key required. In New Mode of ''Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D'' and Modern Mode of ''Donkey Kong Country Returns HD'', there are three more items the player can buy. In addition, after beating the game the player can purchase the [[Rare Orb]] in each world from the corresponding shop. A world's Rare Orb is normally only rewarded for beating the world's Key Temple level.


As with previous games, Cranky will sometimes complain about his situation such as needing Banana Coins, being stuck in a shack, or how the game is "too hard" for Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong. He often makes snide remarks about the items purchased by the player(s), and frequently alludes to the [[Golden Temple]]. If the player(s) currently have a maximum number of 99 lives, Cranky refuses to sell a [[Red Balloon]] to them. Likewise, if the player(s) buy a key, they cannot purchase it again.

“Donkey Kong's white bearded, grouchy grandfather Cranky Kong has set up shop in each world to help Donkey Kong in his quest. Cranky Kong can ramble on about anything, but don't ignore anything he has to say, as his ramblings provide useful information to those who pay careful attention.”
—Donkey Kong Country Returns instruction manual

Cranky Kong's Shop is a shop run by Cranky Kong in Donkey Kong Country Returns and its Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo Switch ports. It serves as the successor to Cranky's Cabin from Donkey Kong Country, which according to Cranky himself, is due to his pension having been revoked.[1]

There is a shop in each of the eight worlds, although they all carry the same selection of goods at the same prices. Many useful items can be purchased at these shops in exchange for Banana Coins. Most of what Cranky sells is optional, in that they only help the player complete the other levels and more easily collect items. The shop does sell a different Map Key in each world though, which opens up an alternate path on the Level Selection Screen in the world, allowing the player(s) to access an additional level. Completing every level is required for 100% completing the game, indirectly making the Map Key required. In New Mode of Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D and Modern Mode of Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, there are three more items the player can buy. In addition, after beating the game the player can purchase the Rare Orb in each world from the corresponding shop. A world's Rare Orb is normally only rewarded for beating the world's Key Temple level.

As with previous games, Cranky will sometimes complain about his situation such as needing Banana Coins, being stuck in a shack, or how the game is "too hard" for Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong. He often makes snide remarks about the items purchased by the player(s), and frequently alludes to the Golden Temple. Cranky refuses to sell Red Balloons to the player(s) if the purchase would put the player(s) over the maximum of 99 balloons. Likewise, if the player(s) buy a key, they cannot purchase it again.

The shop was replaced by Funky's Fly 'n' Buy in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, due to Cranky Kong becoming a playable character.

The Kong Gallery picture of Cranky Kong's Shop from Donkey Kong Country Returns.
The concept artwork
  • The Banana Juice potion could be an allusion to Donkey Kong 64, where Cranky was a scientist who crafted potions for the player.
  • In the Image Gallery, a concept artwork of Cranky's Shop shows he had only one balloon for each amount of lives, and in different colors.
  • If the player does not select an item from the shop for a while, Cranky will get tired and fall asleep.
  • Only in the Nintendo 3DS remake, if the player is playing New Mode and waits on the Portable DK Barrel long enough, Cranky will make a The Legend of Zelda reference saying, "It's dangerous to go alone! Buy this!", substituting "Take" with "Buy".
