Transcript:
In the Lost World of Crocodile Isle, the strange reptilian species known as the Kremlings exist in two subspecies; the more traditional animals resembling crocodiles, and the humanoid versions that exhibit poor intelligence and awful dental hygiene.
Within spitting distance is Donkey Kong Island, home to a species of powerful apes-that-aren't-apes called Kongs. In the past, the Kongs were led by the original Donkey Kong, a violent beast prone to throw barrels and kidnap women. After being defeated by an energetic human plumber, DK retreated to Kong Island where he watched over his younger relative and took on the mantle Cranky Kong to reflect his bitter attitude. As the years passed, this new Kong became the "true" Donkey Kong, along with his cousin Diddy Kong, his girlfriend Candy Kong, and numerous other Kongs who proudly name themselves after one selective trait.
The Kong's greatest pride is their enormous amount of bananas despite only needing a small fraction to survive. Hating the Kongs, and wanting their banana supply for some reason, King K.Rool launches an attack on Kong Island. Unfortunately the inexperienced Diddy Kong is entrusted to guard the banana stash and is easily trapped in a barrel while the bananas are stolen by the Kremlings. Now Donkey Kong must recover them and bring along his nephew to atone for his sin.
Have fun!

    This LORE is clearly off by a long-shot. First, the Kongs were captured along with their supply of bananas by the evil Dr. Doom. He then enslaved the Kongs and blew up Manhattan with his newly discovored mutant powers. After destroying Manhattan with the Kongs, he freed the Kongs and they went back to their island, Scabb Island. A new chapter begins in the Donkey Kong Country lore as Dr. Doom is trained by Professor X in the top secret military base, Area 51. Because Area 51 is the home planet of the Sith overlords, the weak minded Professor X and Dr. Doom were easily persuaded to set the Sith free of their Kryptonite bonds to wreak havoc on the world of Olympus. Now you, the lone survivor of the Great Kong Catastrophe, must defeat the Sith overlords on the planet Bermuda to save the universe from their chaotic-evil alignment.
