Join Daring as she heads for adventure on a newly discovered island, where she is in search for artifacts and lost civilizations. It'll be a bumpy road for her as she'll be facing off against a new powerful force that surpasses Ahuizotl and Dr. Caballeron together, The Kremling Empire with their leader, King K. Rool.
Daring will have to team up with someone familiar with the island if she wants the upper hand over K. Rool, and her best shot is with a gorilla that she can't understand.
Just what is hiding on this island that would entice a king enough to pull him out of his kingdom? With a total of 10 chapters to it, Daring Do will unravel the mystery of this island through difficult challenges and cooperating with the family of this tie wearing gorilla.
This will be a 'Donkey Kong Country' crossover that'll follow more closer to the SNES trilogy, so don't expect DK's strength to be strong enough that it could punch the moon out of orbit any time soon.
So this DK is from the Video games and not the Cartoon where he can speak, I can't wait to see what happens to Daring Do and DK next.
Will other Donkey Kong characters appear?

I wonder what were in those other two barrels?
Well, this is interesting so far! I've just got a couple of problems with it, but they're easily fixable.
There's some grammatical and spelling errors, but nothing too major. What is sort of major is the tense. Is this in past or present tense? You might want to run through this and make it consistent so it doesn't distract us readers.
I do like the setup and the direction it's taking so far (especially as I'm a huge fan of all five Donkey Kong Country games). Cranky's Corner was a nice touch too.
Cautiously, yet optimistically tracking.

Yeah, I've been trying to get out of the habit of a present first person format and into the style of a past tensed 3rd person (like they do in the G. M. Berrow books about Daring Do).
Thanks for the comment.
I HEAR SOMETHING.... BANANAS.
DK. DONKEY KONG!
I'll keep an eye on this!
Need a bit of a spell a grammar check, but otherwise entertaining. I really like the Crank's Corner at the end. Following for now.
I want more of this, I hope Daring meets the other Kongs.
I was just tracking before, but now this has my full attention. Here's a fav.
This is going to be one of my favorites crossovers and those Cranky notes are so true!
Yes, these “Brownies” are very strange and impossible to understand
a Dk crossover...sold!i.imgur.com/wPEOF6G.png fav ing it.
Yay update!
It’s Dixie Kong! I wonder how daring will react to her ability to float slowly by spinning her hair.
...Oh?
The only appropriate response is this:

And, for the sake of the crossover...

Also, awesome chapter reallly loving the Jones/Donkey style of the story and you make it really work. Awesome to be reading this.
Cranky's corner is hilarious.
Glad to see more people defend Flash lately, even I'd it is from an old cranky monkey.
Cool Knuckles the Echidna reference.
Also, hitting it off with Granny Smith? What would Wrinkly Kong say?
I thought you would add Diddy's Rocketbarrel pack and his peanut popguns. Oh well it’s your story and happy to see uploaded a new chapter.

I'm actually trying to steer away from the kongs being considered too advanced in this story. I want them to be viewed as standard primates through Daring's eyes with a sense that they're more smarter than they look.
9073266
Okay
So with all these Kongs will we see Cranky, Wrinkly, Candy, Funky, Kiddy, Swanky, Lanky, Tiny, or Chunky eventually? It is the Kong Clan and they do all live on the same island. Even if you have them not be advanced each of those Kongs do have skills.
Cranky and Wrinkly are the old married couple.
Funky could be making barrels.
Candy could just be a love interest for Donkey.
Tiny and Dixie are sisters.
Chunky and Kiddy are brothers.
Lanky is the oddball uncle character.
Swanky plays games.

As I had Cranky state in a previous chapter, putting in a lot of characters would be a bad move. I would have to keep track of so many of them, making sure they get their own time in the spotlight, capturing that character's personality, making sure they have a plot in the story. It just wouldn't do them justice if I bring them into the story without a purpose.
When I write long adventure stories like this one, I like to think up the entire story from beginning to end before I start writing. Unfortunately, there won't be anymore kongs appearing. However, there will be a few more characters from DK's side that'll make an appearance as well as a few enemies from K. Rool's side.

Good to know. I have the same thing with my stories. At least three of them so far. Large casts to juggle and several plots that happen all at the same time. I find it hard to do so but you think like me when it comes to cast of characters and how to juggle them out just right. Glad to know you're still going since it's been a while between releases.
Always good to see this back. All I have to say is...
*HOT HEAD BOP INTENSIFIES*
Typo?

I swear that this site has some programming issues. Thanks for pointing that out.
9215625
You welcome.
Please tell me where that happened.
9393120
Better yet, I'll show you.
Are we going to see Wrinkly or Cranky at any point?
9394839
Don’t forget Funky, Kiddy and Candy
9395036
I mean, if the story keeps going, those 3 are kind of a given. I'm just wondering about the geezers.

No, I'm afraid Donkey, Diddy, and Dixie are going to be the only kongs with Cranky sending us off only within his little corner. This story isn't going to go on for very much longer either; as I'm planning on making two more chapters before it is finished.
8345328
Huh! DK! Donkey Kong!
Huh! DK! Donkey Kong is here!
Sorry, I just had to say it.
A spider. Why did it have to be a spider? Uh, I mean, it could've been worse. Could've been a daddy long legs. *shudders*
...Is Cranky secretly a brony?
9066037
You beat me to it. I wanted to point out the Knuckles reference first.
That must have been a "Sondash" (Sonic+Rainbow Dash) reference.
Angled platforms? Wall crawling? Sounds like someone's watched too much Wipeout.
9683678
More like Ninja Warrior.
Awesome chapter!
For a moment I thought you were referring to this Zelda story https://www.fimfiction.net/story/413761/the-power-of-freedom where Ganondorf sends him, Zelda and Link to pre-Equestria Times. Which by the way is amazing read!
9710124
That was the story I was referring to. I haven't read it (I'm jelly), but I remember when Greatazuredragon was giving the premise in a forum before writing it. It sounded not much different from mine where Twilight is sent back months after Equestria was founded and the tribes still had it out for each other.
It's not exactly the same, but there are some similarities. The tribe issues were there, but they were subtle and wasn't the main focus of the story. The major difference is the plot, which is that Twi is hunting down Starswirl to help her get back to her time with the help of a student of his named Cici.
I might be nitpicky about it, but how many crossover stories on this site can you think of that involve Zelda and the three pony tribes? I can think of 2, mine and his. And when you compare the popularity/likes/views, you see a clear difference.
i feel like that I'm a Minish staring up at the giant known as Ganondorf.

Which AREN'T spiders.
*next to the author* SONIC REFERENCE!

But they're still kind of creepy. I mean, with the long legs and all. Too bad I live in a slightly forested area, where the little guys chill out around my home... Actually, it's not that bad. They usually just cling to the exterior walls, but it's when they're in my path that they are unnerving.
Congratulations on a job well done, dear author sir.
I enjoyed the ride from the first chapter down to the last! Thank you for your hard work, and for sharing your view with us readers!
This is a magnificent story, and I enjoyed every word of it. Well done.
