Snowmadness

**Snowmadness** is the tenth and final episode of season 2 of *Donkey Kong Island* and the eighteenth episode of the series overall. In this episode, K. Lumsy contacts K. Rool for the first time in a long while and invites him, alongside his employees, to spend the weekend at his private island. Things appear to be going relatively well, but then an organization known as the Snowmads breaks into K. Lumsy's condo, claiming that he owes them two hundred-thousand dollars. The Snowmads give K. Lumsy one day to pay up, and take K. Rool hostage for ransom, prompting DK and his friends, alongside K. Lumsy, to find the money to pay The Snowmads and rescue K. Rool.

## Plot

The episode starts with a flashback of K. Rool in his teenage years, in which he is writing an essay for his economics class when suddenly, K. Lumsy comes into his room, asking him if he wants to go clubbing. K. Rool refuses at first as he needs to finish his essay and get a good grade, but is convinced to go out alongside K. Lumsy after the latter tells him that he will get a friend of his to do K. Rool's essay

Back in the present day, K. Rool is shown at his desk in his office, when he gets a face call from K. Lumsy, who he hasn't seen or spoken to in a long time. K. Lumsy tells his cousin that he wanted to apologize for the incident in the mines, and that to make up for it, he has decided to invite K. Rool, alongside DK and his friends, to his condo at his private island for the weekend. K. Rool, knowing very well what his cousin has dragged him into in the past, believes that K. Lumsy has an ulterior motive for wanting to invite him and his employees over to his private island, though K. Lumsy insists that he is doing all of it in good faith. K. Rool, though hesitant, ultimately accepts the invitation.

After finishing his conversation with K. Lumsy, K. Rool announces the invitation to DK and his friends, all of whom react with excitement at both the proposal and seeing K. Lumsy again, much to K. Rool's distaste. K. Rool's employees tell him that he should be a bit more grateful, given that K. Lumsy has even bothered to be nice to him. K. Rool ultimately accepts the will of his employees and agrees to go to K. Lumsy's private island with them.

The following day, the crew arrives at K. Lumsy's island, by whom they are greeted. DK and his friends are mesmerized by the luxury of the island and K. Lumsy's condo, whereas K. Rool can't help but be annoyed at the situation, which only gets worse when K. Lumsy brings up the fact that K. Rool's father has always favored K. Lumsy over him. K. Rool, fed up with his employees positive reactions to K. Lumsy's condo, starts questioning K. Lumsy on what his real intentions behind the invitation were, with K. Lumsy reassuring his cousin that he has no ulterior motives, with DK, Dixie, Katryna and Chunky telling K. Rool that he is being unreasonably unfair with K. Lumsy. Tired of not not being listened to, K. Rool leaves the condo, with Diddy and Dixie telling K. Lumsy to not pay too much attention to K. Rool, as anger outbursts from him are very common.

After this, the entire crew sans K. Rool, who is still annoyed, decides to swim in the mansion's pool. After refusing the offer of entering the pool, and being accidentally hit in the face with a ball by K. Lumsy, K. Rool heads back inside the mansion, but before he can do that, Katryna decides to confront her uncle on his overly negative attitude towards K. Lumsy, to which K. Rool explains that his relationship with K. Lumsy has been troublesome ever since they were children, as K. Lumsy would often get him in trouble for his own actions, but Katryna tells him that this is not an excuse, as that was in the past and K. Lumsy has probably matured since then, though K. Rool insists to his niece that K. Lumsy never changes, however, she still doesn't believe him.

Later at night, K. Lumsy notices that K. Rool is on his own and sits next to him, starting a conversation. K. Rool apologizes for being rude to K. Lumsy in front of his employees, citing that he just finds it hard to not lose his patience with him, whereas K. Lumsy apologizes for getting K. Rool in trouble so many times in the past, stating that he just wanted his uncle Harold to respect him, with K. Rool saying that he relates to that feeling very well. The two cousins start reminiscing about the good times they had when they were younger, with K. Rool realizing that not everything was bad. The two of them decide to have a shot at Karaoke. Unbeknownst to them however, a mysterious ship arrives at K. Lumsy's private island just at that time.

K. Rool and K. Lumsy are enjoying their karaoke session, with DK being relived that the cousins are getting along once again. Diddy however notices how K. Lumsy's condo has become unusually cold, and as if to answer his concern, a group of mysterious individuals break into the house and begin assaulting K. Rool, as well as preventing anyone else from escaping. After things relatively calm down, the group, who claims that K. Rool owes them money, introduce themselves as the Snowmads, with its leader, Waldough, calling themselves the most fearsome pirates in the Bongo Isles, though Lanky tells them that he has never heard of them. After an introduction to other several key members of the organization such as Harriet, Archy, Pyro and Big Sphen, it's revealed that K. Lumsy bought a ship from the Snowmads worth two hundred-thousand dollars under K. Rool's name, but when the day of the trade came, he stole the ship and sailed off with it. The Snowmads then tracked down K. Rool and found both him and K. Lumsy, and now demand their money back. Katryna urges K. Lumsy to pay up, only for him to admit that he doesn't have any money on him at the moment, as he used the money to pay for a expensive beach house. After pleading to Walough, K. Lumsy is given one day to pay up what he owes, and to make sure he goes through with his promise, the Snowmads take K. Rool hostage for ransom. Waldough tells K. Lumsy and the Kongs to meet him and his crew at Caruleum Bay on the following day's afternoon for the exchange.

Once the Snowmads leave with K. Rool, the Kongs, all angry at K. Lumsy for getting K. Rool kidnapped, demand K. Lumsy for an explanation, with him saying that he thought that the Snowmads would show up at K. Rool's house and he would just pay them what he owes, with the entire Warehouse crew being disgusted at him. Knowing that the police would take too long to rescue K. Rool, as well as the fact that Kiddy states that the Snowmads bribe the police to not investigate them, the Kongs decide to gather the sum of money needed for the exchange, with Katryna also threatening to K. Lumsy that should anything happen to K. Rool, he will face the consequences for it. Diddy asks K. Lumsy if he can't simply return the ship he stole from Archy, only for K. Lumsy to reveal that he accidentally crashed and sunk the ship. Following this, Dixie decides she will try to ask Kip for money, while DK will do the same with H. K. Rool.

The crew travels to Viridis City and splits in groups. DK, Diddy and K. Lumsy go to H. K. Rool and the latter asks him for the two hundred-thousand dollars, which H. K. Rool happily accepts to give it to him. That is, until he hears that it is to pay for the ransom to free K. Rool from the Snowmads, as according to H. K. Rool, his son has been getting in trouble with the Snowmads ever since he was a teenager (this actually meaning that K. Lumsy has been borrowing money from the Snowmads under K. Rool's name for a very long time). Meanwhile Dixie, Tiny and Katryna ask Kip for the money, but he refuses, stating that he is not going to give away a large sum of his money to rescue his uncle, as he'd rather invest it on his sports cars, with Kip also adding that he refuses to use his money to clean up any mess that K. Lumsy has caused, and basically tells the girls that the chances of K. Rool being released alive are slim before driving off. Both groups later reunite with Kiddy, Chunky and Lanky, who haven't had any luck gathering money either. After dismissing ineffective and risky ideas from Tiny and Kiddy respectively, K. Lumsy remembers that he has a house located in Rubrum Wilds where he has stored away some of his tax money, and the group agrees to take a bus there.

Once the group arrives at the house in Rubrum Wilds, they make their way to the house's basement, with K. Lumsy warning DK & co. to not touch anything, as everything is very expensive, something which DK and Diddy notice he wasn't so insistent on in his own condo. At the basement, K. Lumsy opens up a safe, revealing a large collection of golden barrels, each of them full with bars of gold, with K. Lumsy stating that each barrel contains twenty thousand dollars worth of gold in them. While the group is making their way out, Diddy finds it strange how the house that supposedly belongs to K. Lumsy has a lot of framed paintings of H. K. Rool, but none of K. Lumsy. Furthermore, Diddy points out that it's strange for K. Lumsy to stash his gold collection in a house in Rubrum Wilds rather than his condo on his private island, with DK questioning K. Lumsy why he didn't just use his gold stash to pay what he owes to the Snowmads, and after Tiny reveals that some of the barrels have a sign that reads "property of Harold. K. Rool" written on them, K. Lumsy confesses that the house and the gold don't belong to him, but rather his uncle H. K. Rool, with K. Lumsy revealing that he has known the password since he was a child and that he often goes there to steal money from H. K. Rool. In that moment, H. K. Rool, who was inside the house the entire time, wakes up and hears the noise in the basement, prompting the Kongs and K. Lumsy to escape through an alternative exit.

Back at K. Lumsy's private island, the group counts all the money they have gathered from the stolen gold, being around a hundred and eighty thousand dollars, and only twenty thousand dollars away from having all of the money necessary to pay for the ransom, with Tiny remembering that the Crystal Coconut she found on K. Lumsy's house was worth twenty thousand dollars, which completes the sum necessary to pay the Snowmads, much to the dismay of K. Lumsy.

The day of the exchange comes, and the crew boards Waldough's ship, noticeably without K. Lumsy, who is stated to have disappeared when the group woke up. The crew shows Waldough the gold and the crystal coconut, and Waldough keeps his end of the deal and frees K. Rool, who appears to be suffering from a severe state of hypothermia. As revealed by Waldough, K. Rool was kept in one of the Snowmads' ice chambers, and Harriet would constantly pour toilet water over him. The crew is about to leave when Archy notices a foul smell coming from the golden barrels, and upon further inspection, he discovers that they are all filled with rotten fish, much to the confusion of DK and his friends, who realize that the reason K. Lumsy wasn't at his house when they woke up is that he took off with the gold and filled the barrels with rotten fish while they were asleep. Angered by what he thinks is the Kongs attempting to trick him, Waldough orders his minions to kill all of them. However, just in that moment Chunky punches Waldough and knocks him off the ship and into the sea, being fed up with his constant threats, and starts attacking the rest of the Snowmads. The rest of the crew refuse to let Chunky handle everything on his own and help him fight the rest of the pirates, with Diddy knocking Archy off the ship with his Peanut Popgun for attempting to attack DK from behind, Tiny using her looks to distract two soldiers, kick one in the crotch to incapacitate him, steal his weapon and attack the other with it, Lanky projectile-spitting grape juice on Pyro right after he is about to throw a bomb at Chunky, and Katryna saving Dixie from Harriet, grabbing the latter from her hair and tossing her off the ship and into the water. Once all of the members of the Snowmads are knocked out, Tiny finds a safety boat, which the crew board alongside K. Rool, though they have to wait for Kiddy for a short amount of time, who tells DK to row back to land as fast as he can. After the Kongs successfully escape, Hootz regains consciousness to see that one of Pyro's bombs was set off alongside a bunch of dynamite, blowing up the ship and killing everyone still on-board. Due to being tossed into the water before the explosion, Waldough, Archy, Harriet and Sphen survive, but have lost their crew, their hostage, and the crystal coconut. Waldough then swears vengeance against the Kongs. As revealed by Kiddy, he blew up the ship because "he was told he wasn't Snowmad material".

Later at night, the crew is celebrating at Funky's, with Diddy, Tiny, Lanky, DK and Kiddy complimenting Chunky for standing his ground against the Snowmads. Diddy then notices K. Rool sitting on his own at a table, and Katryna decides to approach him. Katryna apologizes to her uncle for everything that happened during the weekend, and when K. Rool admits he wasn't expecting anyone to show up for him, his niece reaffirms that she could never leave him behind, as he has been more of a father to her than her actual father, K. Ross, ever was, and that they should have listened to him when he warned them about K. Lumsy. K. Rool then opens up to his niece about K. Lumsy, saying how he has always made him believe he is a nice and friendly person, only for K. Lumsy to then get him into trouble and walk away when he needed him the most, and Katryna vows to make K. Lumsy pay the next time she sees him.

Somewhere else, Waldough is reporting to his superior about the loss of the ship, the money, and the death of the majority of the crewmates, which his superior isn't happy about. The superior's patience is depleted when Waldough informs that they lost K. Rool, or rather, K. Lumsy. The superior is then revealed to be Fredrick, who promises to get his revenge on the Kongs who foiled the Snowmads' plans.
