Not so active anymore.

Cranky Kong is an old member of the Kong family and the grandfather of Donkey Kong. He was also, in fact, Donkey Kong himself in Donkey Kong. Sitting in his cabin at the DK Island, he sometimes gives advice to the player when he/she visits him. In Donkey Kong 64, he is a scientist instead and gives the DK Crew various potions.

Cranky cameos.

In the Jungle Japes stage, he walks back and forth in his old cabin. He also stops sometimes to sit in his rocking chair and rock back and forth. Also, a Erlenmeyer flask and two test tubes can be seen through the window, as a reference to that he was a scientist in Donkey Kong 64.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

He appears as a trophy and as a Medium sticker, which gives +7 attack to indirect specials. It can be used by all characters. He also appears in the background of Jungle Japes, like in Super Smash Bros. Melee.

Trophy Description

A village chief and bitter old codger. Cranky uses his extensive knowledge and wisdom to provide helpful hints. He has also made appearances in a white lab coat as a potion-dealing chemist, granting the Kongs special abilities. Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast features Cranky as a playable character for the first time.
