Donkey Kong's aptly named grandfather. Cranky Kong spends his days sitting on his front porch, dispensing sarcastic advice to passersby, and bemoaning the loss of the good ol' days of 8-bit gaming. He was married to Wrinkly Kong before she gave up the ghost.
Cranky is a fourth-wall breaking and constantly complaining and rambling grandfather of Donkey Kong.
