Cranky's Video Game Heroes
Cranky's Video Game Heroes is an awards cerimony in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy Kong's Quest, to see who can collect the most DK Coins. The player may be in this event after they beat the game, or by pressing the L button after they beat it. When the player first sees Crankey's Video Game Heroes, Mario is found in first with 39 coins, Yoshi appears in second with 29 coins, and Link is seen in third place with 19 coins. To beat the three characters, the player must collect DK Coins on their adventure, and Diddy Kong will appear as one of the top three if he gets at least 19 coins, eliminating Link from the standings.
In the Gameboy Advance remake of Donkey Kong Country 2, Yoshi is put in third place, and Link is in second place. If the player gets over 19 coins, Yoshi will be eliminated from the standings, instead of Link.
Trivia
- In the corner of the screen here, Sonic's shoes and Earthworm Jim's raygun are seen next to a sign that says "No Hopers", most likely meaning that they failed to collect enough coins.
