Donkey Kong Country: Legend of The Crystal Coconut

This article is abut the VHS tape of 4 Donkey Kong Country Episodes. For the actual episode itself, see Legend of the Crystal Coconut

donkey kong country legend of the crystal coconut is a VHS tape released in November of 1999. It features 4 episodes of the Donkey Kong Country Animated Series spliced together into a feature length format. The episodes featured are The Legend of the Crystal Coconut, Bug A Boogie, Ape Nesia and Booty and the Beast. One reason why the creators used these episodes is because these are the only episodes in season 1 to feature Kaptain Skurvy who is a main character in the "movie"

Plot
There is not much plot in the movie as it's 4 episodes of the TV series. These 4 episodes though are out of order compared to when they aired in North America. Legend of the Crystal Coconut was aired 26th, Bug a Boogie was aired 18th, Ape Nesia was aired 23rd, and Booty and the Beast was aired 6th. This is most obvious when in Ape Nesia when Diddy tries to tell DK a memory of being trapped in Skurvy's ship which was from Booty and the Beast, however, the viewers see this exact same scene in the next episode because Ape Nesia comes before Booty and the Beast in the tape. There are some minor differences though such as there is no theme song before the movie starts, Pirates Scorn is played earlier in the movie and DK narrates between each episode.

Characters
DK, Diddy and Cranky are all main characters in these 4 episodes. Funky, Candy and Bluster appear from time to time as well. King K Rool, Klump and Krusha all appear and so does Kaptain Skurvy, Kutlass and Green Croc. Eddie, Dixie and Polly Rodger don't appear at all in the tape.

Musical Numbers
There are 8 songs in the movie. 2 come from each of the 4 episodes in the tape.

Criticism
The movie has been reviewed by a handful of people on YouTube. Rarely do they say positive things about this movie.

Trivia

 * The box cover of the tape (image on the right) includes Donkey and Diddy Kong with weird smiles in weird poses. This has become an internet meme.5105T263NRL. SY445 .jpg
 * To avoid Pirates Scorn playing at the beginning of Booty and The Beast like it does in the episode, it plays in the middle of The Legend of the Crystal Coconut when Skurvy says his little speech.
