Bowser Jr popped out of his pipe and looked around. He was in a lush island. A few beaver-like creatures scurried by. Jr walked through, only saw little creatures disappear down holes or into trees. Otherwise, there appeared to be no intelligent life. Finally, he found a banana just lying on the ground. He picked it up, but before he could eat it...

"BANANA SLAMMA!" A huge barrel suddenly came down on Jr. When he woke up, he found that the barrel had been tossed up into a tree. He climbed down to find a group of apes arguing over a banana. He recognized them as the Kongs, who lived in Congo Bongo Jungle, where he apparently was.

"What's going on?" asked Jr.

Donkey Kong laughed after getting a better look at Jr. "Hey, it's just a little Koopa!"

"We thought you were some kind of Kremling," said Diddy. "Sorry about the painful barrel."

"Eh, I've been Thwomp'ed before," began Jr, until he remembered who he was talking to. "Wait, what am I doing! King Dad says that Koopas never talk to heros! I'll just ask you if Mario is around here."

"Nope," replied Donkey. "Seen any more bananas?"

"Don't you have some kind of huge banana hoard somewhere?" asked Jr.

Donkey sighed. "It was stolen...again."

Diddy stared hard at Jr. "The lack of bananas is driving us CRAZY!"

Jr backed away. "That bad, huh?" Suddenly, crazy samba music started up.

(Sung to the tune of "Cabin Fever" from "Muppet Treasure Island)

Donkey and Diddy: CONGO FEVER!

Diddy: I got Congo fever, I'm swinging through the trees
Donkey: I've got Congo fever, I'm flying in the breeze
Diddy and Donkey: We got Congo fever, the barrels going "slammas"
Squawks the Parrot: Us birds that perch are sent to search for some stolen bananas
(Suddenly, the various animal sidekicks all dance out as the jungle becomes a flashy colorful land, obviously looking like the "Cabin Fever" scene)
Animals: Ariba!

Chica chica boom
A chica chica boom boom chic
Chica chica boom

A chica chica boom boom chic

Jr: Uh...yeah...I'll just be leaving now...

(Donkey Kong and Diddy dance in his way)
Donkey: We got Congo fever we're smashing some Kremlings
Diddy: We got Congo fever, and through it all, we sing
(They chase down a few Kremlings who are each holding a banana)
Kritters: I'm feeling pain, 'cause those barrels are hard
Klump: I wish I was better at running, 'cause I'm just some lard
Krusha: We're in trouble, trouble, 'cause D.K. is behind
Klap Trap: I've lost my mind! Ha ha heh!
(Klap Trap is launced into the distance by a barrel cannon. The other Kremlings are grabbed by the Kongs as the song takes a country turn)
Lanky: Grab a Kremling by the tail

Throw him in the air
Barrel throw, step on his toe
Catch him in a snare
Pound him on the ground, smash him on a tree
It's time to end it swift
Throw your Kremling over the side

Of a real deep cliff
(Cranky and Wrinkly sit and watch from the porch)
Cranky: We got Congo fever
Wrinkly: No if's, and's, or but's
Cranky: We're just mean and old
Wrinkly: Rather cold
Both: And a little nuts
(Dixie and Kiddie bump a little Gnawty back and fourth like a volleyball)

Dixie: Ach du lieber Volswagen car
(Kiddie: Yodel-lay-ee-hoo)
Both: Saur braten viener schnitzel

Und a vunder bar

Jr: What?
(Tiny and Chunky frantically break open barrels, looking for bananas)
Tiny: Now we're searching, searching, all over the ground
Chunky: But none are found
Funky: I've got Congo fever

And now I have no lunch
Donkey: I'd like to get my hands on

Those Kremlings and go crunch!
Candy: Yeah!
(Jr makes a run for it, jumping through the trees)
Jr: I had better get right out of here

Because these Kongs are getting near

Insanity, that's what I fear
(He suddenly falls and lands on a cliff, with all the Kongs dancing around him)
Kongs: Congo fever has ravaged all aboard

It took its' toll when Kremilings stole our big banana hoard
Now we're searching, searching, for bananas we lack
And if they're not round here
We'll have no snack!
Congo fever! Yeah!

"You people are nuts!" blurted Jr as the jungle returned back to normal. "If we had a Koopa Kola shortage, we wouldn't be freaking out and doing a random number! We'd just wage war on someone."

Cranky Kong's eyes grew wide. "Wait a second...war! That's it! We'll have a good ol' fasioned war with the Kremlings! And I'll be the general! It'll be just like old times!"

Jr started to walk away. "Yeah, well, I'm getting out of here!"

Surprisingly, Cranky smashed a barrel onto Jr, trapping him like before. "Not so fast, ya little Klap Trap! I've never liked you Koopas, and I've decided to draft you!"

"Are any other guys getting drafted?" asked Jr.

"Nope. Just you."

"Then I refuse!" said Jr. Cranky hit him with his cane. "Ouch!" cried the little Koopaling. "Hey, that hurt!" Cranky hit him again. "Stop it! That's uncomfortable!" Once again, hit him. "Fine, I'll join your stupid army."

Soon, Jr and all the Kongs were lined up by their cabin. General Cranky stood in front of them. "Men, this is war!"

"Well, duh!" cried Jr. "Why else would we be in an army?" Cranky hit him again.

"WAR!" continued Cranky. "It's not like some video game. We're gonna storm the Kremlings' ship and steal the bananas. To do so, we need a spy. Someone who can blend in. A villain. We need Iggy here."

"Actually, I'm Bowser Jr." He got hit with a cane...again. "Fine," he sighed. "I'm going. What am I doing here...?"


I love the Donkey Kong series, and this is the first time I've written for the characters. Just wait 'till Jr has to pose as a Kremling.
