Hoss attempts to dissuade Donkey Kong from entering the rodeo, but when he calls Donkey Kong a "yellow-bellied, lily-livered, chicken-hearted gorilla sissy", Donkey Kong is so offended that he shoots two bananas in Hoss's cheeks, pulls his hat over his head, and throws him back over to Coach, causing them both to fall into a water trough. As they get back up, they notice Donkey Kong's affections towards Pauline and decide to use that to their advantage.

Plot synopsis[edit]

While pursuing a sweltering Donkey Kong through a desert, Mario and Pauline's circus van suddenly breaks down. Mario then attempts to catch Donkey Kong on foot, but both of them collapse from heat exhaustion at the very moment Mario makes contact with Donkey Kong. Pauline then suggests they call a temporary truce to obtain the money needed to repair the van and collect bananas for Donkey Kong, to which he and Mario agree. As Mario wonders how to obtain this money, Donkey Kong points to a sign advertising cash prizes at the Greenhorn Texas Rodeo, and decides to enter into the rodeo.
