Bananas have always been a nutritious source of food for Kongs. In the process of training for the young kids on the island, it provides a lot of energy. Bananas are long and scarce fruit when the weather gets colder, so, Kongs need to store a large number of bananas before entering the winter. On a stormy night, everyone stopped practicing and went home to rest. Donkey Kong assigned the task of guarding the stockpile to Diddy Kong as well as patrolling around the island to ensure the race members had a good night’s sleep. Unfortunately, the Kremlings brought his accomplices in, stole all of the bananas, and then locked Diddy Kong into a crate. The next morning, Donkey Kong returned and found out. He immediately set out to search for the Kremlings, based on the bananas he dropped on the run.
