Uho'uho Daishizen Gag: Donkey Kong is a manga published by Shogakukan and serialized by CoroCoro Comic between 2000 and 2001, created by emergent manga artist Makoto Hijioka. It is based on the Donkey Kong Country animated series, with elements from other games of the franchise.
Plot synopsis[edit]
The plot of the manga follows the same one of the animated series: on Donkey Kong Island, Donkey Kong is in possession of the mystical Crystal Coconut, which makes him the king of the island. King K. Rool, the Kremling ruler, wants the Crystal Coconut for himself and to rule over the island.
Differently from the show, the manga introduces more characters from the games to the cast: Tiny Kong, Chunky Kong, Lanky Kong, and Kiddy Kong, alongside many of the enemies. Beside having some chapters directly based on the show's episodes, the rest of the manga has original stories in line with the both the game and television's franchises.

May 2000[edit]
Donkey Kong mysteriously turns into a giant. Diddy Kong tells Cranky Kong what happened, but Cranky doesn't believe him at first, so Diddy takes him out of his cabin to see DK's condition. At some point in the story, King K. Rool also becomes a giant and fights Donkey Kong, but he ends up being defeated when Diddy, piloting Funky's plane, manages to put a pill in his mouth, returning him to his normal size. The chapter ends with Cranky telling DK that he forgot to make the antidote.
The last page mentions that the story continues in the February issue, in which Donkey Kong would return to normal.
December 2000[edit]
After eating many bananas, Donkey Kong becomes fat, while Diddy mentions that he hadn't noticed DK had gained weight despite spending all day with him. Candy demands that Cranky make DK lose weight, but DK is convinced that his muscles have grown (although the other Kongs disagree) and decides to dance, causing earthquakes and ending up slipping on a banana peel.
