{{quote|Can't a tired old ape take a nap around here?? A bunch of shifty-eyed musical miscreants just kicked our volcano into overdrive and took over Donkey Kong Island! Enough with the noise, already! These rhythmic rabble-rousers are up to no good. They've been putting some kind of musical mojo on all our animal buddies and toting off every banana in sight. And get this: they've even gone after Donkey Kong's secret hoard! Nothing burns that boy's biscuits like someone messing with his precious bananas! Just what do they want with all those stolen bananas? Back in my day, I'd take care of this mysterious predicament without breaking a sweat, but Donkey Kong and his little pal Diddy Kong are all worked up and ready for action. If anybody can run, jump, cling, and swing to the bottom of all this banana burglary, it's those two!|[[Cranky Kong]]|''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' manual}} | {{quote|Can't a tired old ape take a nap around here??

One day on [[Donkey Kong Island]], a large stream of lava erupts from a volcano, sending out small boulders. A [[Tiki Tong Tower|tower]] emerges from the eruption as members of an evil force known as the [[Tiki Tak Tribe]] burst from the boulders. The Tikis drift down into the jungle, where they hypnotize the wildlife, including elephants, giraffes, zebras, and squirrels. The Tikis' minions steal every [[banana]] from the banana hoard and load them onto large leaves pulled through the jungle and then taken onto an airship soon after. Diddy looks out of a window from [[DK's Tree House]] and spots the animals with the stolen bananas in the distance. Diddy goes down to check the banana hoard and realizes no bananas are left, and then angrily chases the thieves. Donkey Kong awakens and opens the tree house door, noticing the last few loads of bananas being stolen. Donkey Kong shakes his fist in anger. One of the Tikis' high-ranking members suddenly appears and pushes Donkey Kong back into his tree house. It attempts to hypnotize Donkey Kong multiple times, but he remains unaffected by it for unknown reasons.

One of the Tikis' high-ranking members, Krazy Kalimba, suddenly appears and pushes Donkey Kong back into his tree house. It attempts to hypnotize Donkey Kong multiple times, but he remains unaffected by it for unknown reasons. Donkey Kong punches Kalimba and sends it out the front door, Donkey Kong then jumps down from his tree house and starts his new adventure. Diddy joins along once Donkey Kong frees him from a [[DK Barrel]]. | ||
After traversing the island's many regions, the Kongs come face-to-face with [[Tiki Tong]], who turns the stolen bananas into juice and spews it on each high-ranking member of the Tiki Tak Tribe to transform them into a pair of hands. After defeating Tiki Tong, a resulting explosion sends the Kongs into outer space. The Kongs panic and realize they are about to crash into [[Moon#Donkey Kong Country Returns|the moon]]. Donkey Kong puts Diddy on his back, and with the help of the [[Barrel Jet]] and his wind-up punch, the Kongs send the moon down to earth, which destroys the Tikis' base. The bananas are released in a explosion, which sends the Kongs and the moon flying out of the volcano. With the Tiki Tak Tribe defeated, the animals on Donkey Kong Island are freed from their hypnosis. Donkey Kong and Diddy land back on the island and celebrate their victory as the bananas rain from the volcano. | After traversing the island's many regions, the Kongs come face-to-face with [[Tiki Tong]], who turns the stolen bananas into juice and spews it on each high-ranking member of the Tiki Tak Tribe to transform them into a pair of hands.

|Mugly scurries across the battle arena with his mouth open in an attempt to swallow the Kongs. The boss is normally covered with retractile spikes, making jumping on the enemy dangerous. Mugly will slow down as it runs if the Kongs simply jump over it. This causes the boss to retract its spikes, leaving its rear side open for a jump attack. Mugly will also jump high in the air, trying to thump the Kongs. | |Mugly scurries across the battle arena with his mouth open in an attempt to swallow the Kongs.

|The Scurvy Crew's main tactic is digging themselves in the sand and resurfacing one at a time to attack the Kongs. As they lunge their weapons to impale the primates, they can be jumped on to make them raise their claws above their bodies, leaving their sides open for a ground pound or roll attack. Doing either of these will flip the enemy upside down and allow the Kongs to attack its underside, the vulnerable spot. After each member of the crew receives damage, they will return under the ground and slowly spawn from the sand in a tower formation, chasing the Kongs and trying to hurt them. In this formation, they will eventually raise their claws and leave their sides unprotected. The Kongs should now roll into them to scatter each individual upside-down, then proceed stomping on every one of them. | |The Scurvy Crew's main tactic is digging themselves in the sand and resurfacing one at a time to attack the Kongs.

|Stu uses his cauldron to hoard explosives. His definitory strategy is tossing bombs at the Kongs, which can be picked up as their fuse burns and thrown back at Stu to explode and damage him. At several points in the battle, Stu will draw a bulky missile with the entire floor as its explosion range. Occasionally, he will also drop a [[Tiki Pop]]. | |Stu uses his cauldron to hoard explosives.
