Wrinkly Kong

Template:Character-infobox Wrinkly Kong is the wife of Cranky Kong and mother of Donkey Kong, she is also an intelligent ally of the Kongs.

The first appearance of Wrinkly Kong was in the game Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. Here Wrinkly manages the Kong Kollege where Diddy and Dixie Kong can save their game progress. Wrinkly, like her husband Cranky Kong can also give the Kongs information on the various items and objects found throughout the game.

In the Game Boy Advance remake of Donkey Kong Country 2 Dixie and Diddy can also do a homework assignment for Wrinkly, called Wrinkly's Task. The purpose of Wrinkly's Task is to fill up a scrapbook, given to the Kongs by Wrinkly with pictures. For every page of the scrapbook filled up Wrinkly will give the Kongs a DK Coin.

Wrinkly next appeared in the Game Boy game, Donkey Kong Land 2. Here she once again gives hints to Diddy and Dixie, along with saving the Kongs progress.

In Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble Wrinkly makes a return appearance. In this game Wrinkly seems to have retired as a teacher at the Kong Kollege, she now runs Wrinkly's Save Cave. In the cave Dixie and Kiddy Kong can save their game, the cave is also where the various Banana Birds the Kongs collect are stored. In the Game Boy Advance remake of Donkey Kong Country 3 Wrinkly's role is minimalized. Now Wrinkly serves no real purpose in the game except taking care of Banana Birds, which she seems to have become a spiritual follower of.

In Donkey Kong Land 3 Wrinkly's role remains relatively the same, she saves the Kong's progress. The only real difference between roles is that Wrinkly no longer cares for Banana Birds, which aren't in the game.

In Wrinkly's next appearance, Donkey Kong 64 it is revealed that she had passed on after the events of Donkey Kong Country 3. In Donkey Kong 64 Wrinkly now inhabits Wrinkly Doors which are found in the entrance of every area except Hideout Helm. If a Kong steps in front of a Wrinkly Door, Wrinkly will pop out and, using her supernatural powers give that Kong hints on what to do in the area that the Kong is in the entrance too.

In DK: King of Swing Wrinkly, still a ghost, aids her husband Cranky in teaching her son, Donkey Kong, in learning the unique controls of the game. Wrinkly is also playable in the game's Jungle Jam mode, where her partner is interestingly, a Kritter.

In DK Jungle Climber, Wrinkly appears in the opening cutscene. Although she has official artwork, this is the only appearance in the entire game. This is similar to Candy Kong in the predecessor, DK: King of Swing.

In Donkey Kong Barrel Blast, Wrinkly is a secret playable character, unlocked by playing Candy's Challenges, Challenge 26 and having Wrinkly come in 1st place. Wrinkly is a rival to Kopter in this game.
