Chunky and Lanky soon arrived at Neo Crocodile Island in their motorboat that Funky had provided them with. They docked the motorboat at the docks of Neo Crocodile Island and hopped out. "Well, here we are, Chunky. Judging by the Kremling like look of this island, I'd say this is where those reptilian knaves are holding Donkey, Diddy and Dixie captive. It's the start of a new adventure!" Lanky told Chunky with an excited grin.

Chunky meekly nodded. "Y-Yeah...Well, let's go out there and try to find Donkey, Diddy and Dixie before something bad happens to them..." The brawny primate remarked as him and Lanky began walking across the docks of Neo Crocodile Island, going into the island's first area: Crocodile Resort.

Soon after entering Crocodile Resort, Chunky and Lanky came across a group of Kritters. "Hey! Aren't you Kongs, the enemies of our boss King K. Rool? You can't come in here!" One of the Kritters told Chunky and Lanky.

"Oh, shoot. Looks like we'll have to deal with these Kremlings to get by." Lanky remarked.

"O-Okay...Here goes..." Chunky took a deep breath to calm his nerves and charged at the Kremlings before beating them up. Lanky assisted him by sucker punching the Kremlings, knocking all of them out.

"That was too easy!" Lanky laughed as he high fived Chunky.

Chunky slightly smiled and nodded. "Yeah, it was." He replied before the two Kongs made their way further into the area. They then proceeded to run into two Klumps. The two Kremlings heard the Kongs' footsteps and turned around to see them.

"Hey, it's two Kongs! They're probably here to rescue those other Kongs we captured!" One of the Klumps said, pointing at Chunky and Lanky.

"Well, let's get them then!" The other Klump replied as they charged at Chunky and Lanky, but Chunky took out one of the Klumps with an uppercut, while Lanky took out the other Klump with a flurry of slaps. Once the Klumps were defeated, Chunky and Lanky high fived once more and went on to the next area.

Upon entering the next area, Chunky and Lanky could see an End of the Level Target with a DK Coin at the top. "I think this is a sign that this is the end of this area?" Chunky asked Lanky, scratching his head in confusion.

"Sure seems like it. Let's hit this sucker!" Lanky grinned before he jumped onto the End of the Level Target as hard as he could before a weight shot up and hit the top of the pole, causing the DK Coin sitting there to drop down and land in Lanky's hands.

"Nice going, Lanky! I think we found one of those shiny DK Coins!" Chunky said with an excited smile.

"Yeah, I'm sure there's some kind of use for them, but I'm not sure what. Let's keep going for now." Lanky suggested as him and Chunky went to the next part of the Crocodile Resort.

On the way to the next part of the Crocodile Resort, the duo ran into Cranky Kong. "Ah, fancy running into you two out here on the Kremlings' island!" Cranky told Chunky and Lanky with a smile.

"Cranky! What are you doing out here?" Chunky asked Cranky with a confused look on his face.

"Well, my old man senses tell me you boys found a DK Coin earlier, right?" Cranky asked in return.

"Uh, yeah. We did. What about it?" Chunky asked again, being even more confused.

"Come with me, I'll show you." Cranky replied as he took Chunky and Lanky with him to a secret area. There, Chunky and Lanky could see a podium. On the 3rd place spot of the podium, Samus Aran was standing. On the 2nd place spot of the podium, Fox McCloud was standing. And finally, on the 1st place spot of the podium, Waluigi was standing. Next to the podium stood a trash can with a sign that said "No Hopers" on it. Next to the trash can were Amigo's sombrero and Joe Musashi's shuriken.

"Whoa! What is this?!" Lanky asked with an excited grin.

"This, my dear boys, is my Video Game Heroes gallery. These people standing on the podium have managed to collect the most DK Coins and have therefore proven themselves worthy of being Video Game Heroes. Samus here has collected 18 of them, Fox McCloud over there has collected 31 of them, while Waluigi over there has collected 49 of them. If you boys are interested in joining my Video Game Heroes contest, there are DK Coins hidden all of this Kremling island, and if you collect enough of these DK Coins, then you'll qualify for the leaderboard right here." Cranky explained to Chunky and Lanky.

Lanky grinned at that before looking at Chunky. "Well, Chunky. What do you say? Do you want to become a Video Game Hero?" He asked the brawny primate.

Chunky thought about it and smiled. "I'd love that." He replied.

"Then you know the drill! Gather every single one of those DK Coins if you wanna end up on the podium by the time the contest is over! Good luck!" Cranky told Chunky and Lanky before the duo left the gallery again before they began walking to the next area.

"Well, while we're trying to rescue Donkey, Diddy and Dixie from the Kremlings, let's try to collect as many of those DK Coins as we can, Chunky. It's always been my dream to be a Video Game Hero." Lanky said with a grin.

Chunky slightly smiled and nodded. "Yeah, it would be nice to be one..." He agreed as the duo continued to make their way to the next part of the Crocodile Resort.
