In life Wrinkly Kong was the wife of Cranky Kong. She was much nicer and more kind-hearted than her husband, but she had her softer ramblings from time to time. She is currently deceased, but her ghost still resides on Donkey Kong Island.

Background

Wrinkly Kong was the headmistress of the Kong Kollege on Crocodile Island in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. She gave lessons to the island's Kremlings and also provided quest advice to Diddy and Dixie. Additionally, Wrinkly gave Diddy and Dixie a homework project by assigning them to fill a photo album of Crocodile Island's creatures. She rewarded them with a DK Coin for every page they filled.

In Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie's Double Trouble, Wrinkly had retired. In the original Super NES version and Donkey Kong Land III, Wrinkly lounged around a variety of caves across the Northern Kremisphere. There she alternated between working out, playing the Nintendo 64 and saving Dixie's game progress. In the Game Boy Advance remake Wrinkly instead spent her days meditating in a temple in the Northern Kremisphere. In both versions she gained company in the form of the Banana Birds that flocked to her retreat.

Sometime after Donkey Kong Land III, Wrinkly died of unspecified causes. However, her ghost remained on Donkey Kong Island to help the other Kongs. In Donkey Kong 64, the Kongs could communicate with Wrinkly's ghost through special doors located in the lobby of each world. Wrinkly gave quest advice to all of the Kongs. Wrinkly's ghost later appeared in DK: King of Swing, where she helped Cranky Kong to teach Donkey Kong the art of swinging. She was also playable in the game's Jungle Jam mode as an unlockable character.
