Bluster the BENEVOLENT! (video game)

Bluster the BENEVOLENT! is a 2006 action-adventure video game, released for the GameCube, Game Boy Advance, and DS, as a Nintendo-exclusive. It was developed by Eurocom Entertainment Software (Vicarious Visions for the handheld versions) and published by Nintendo (with the help from Activision for the handheld versions).
The video game's storyline takes place from the perspective of Bluster Kong, a character from the Donkey Kong Country TV series, as the main star of the video game. The game is also a Donkey Kong Country spin-off, thus it's not all about DK (the future ruler of his island home, that being "Kongo Bongo"), even though he's playable in a few levels, with Diddy being in only one in . The game's chapters are based on "From Zero to Hero," "Barrel, Barrel... Who's Got the Barrel," "Buried Treasure," "Get a Life, Don't Save One," "A Thin Line Between Love & Ape," and "Hunka Hunka Burnin' Bluster," including an exclusive chapter in the game, after the events of the first 6 chapters based on the DKC TV series, "The Return of the Pirates."
The game features the voice cast from the DKC TV series, either returning with new recorded voice takes or voice-cloned with a TTS voice software (much like Uberduck.ai or FakeYou).
== Plot ==
On the island of Kongo Bongo, Cranky is giving X-rays inside his cabin to everyone. Cranky calls the next islander up to take an X-ray. Candy is next up, but Bluster Kong decides to cut ahead, believing he can do so because of his higher social status. Donkey, Diddy, Dixie, and Candy are outraged and describe Bluster as a "heartless, mean, inconsiderate, selfish windbag" as a result. When the ape is done with his X-rays, he exits, bragging about how well he thinks his tests are. Diddy simply replies by calling him "Bloopo, the god of fatheads," which makes the other Kongs laugh. Dixie and Candy soon leave, Candy's lunch hour being up and Dixie going off to do something else, and the Kongs suddenly hear Cranky say, "I don't believe it", Bluster believing it is the results of his examination. Donkey and Diddy curiously come into the cabin to see what is going on, finding Cranky saying, "I've got Bluster's X-rays here, and it doesn't look good." Bluster hears him say this and panics. Donkey Kong notes that it is "falling apart," so Cranky replies by saying "I'd give it a week." Bluster thinks they are talking about himself, becoming very worried.
During the night, at Bluster Barrelworks, Bluster is crying over thinking he has only one week to live. He begins to explain all the things he has to live for, but realizes that he needs to have good publicity before he dies. He decides to turn a new leaf and earn a better reputation in the week to become "Bluster the Benevolent."
