Cranky's Lab is a location that appears in Donkey Kong 64. This is where Donkey Kong's father, Cranky Kong, lives in and where he will give potions to the Kongs in several levels. Cranky's Lab is usually the first place visited in the game.

Locations[]

DK Isles[]

Cranky's Lab can be found near Donkey Kong's house on DK Isles. Cranky will only teach Donkey Kong the basics here by putting him through training. Cranky will also host the Jetpac game that can be played anytime here. After completing the training, Cranky will give Donkey Kong the potion for the Simian Slam that can be use to pound green switches.

Jungle Japes[]

Cranky's Lab can be found in the raining area of Jungle Japes. This is where Cranky will give the potions for the Baboon Blast for Donkey Kong and the Chimpy Charge for Diddy Kong.

Angry Aztec[]

Cranky's Lab can be found in the tunnel linking the two main areas together. This is where Cranky will give the potions for the Strong Kong for Donkey Kong, Rocketbarrel Boost for Diddy Kong, Mini-Monkey for Tiny Kong and OrangStand for Lanky Kong.

Frantic Factory[]

Cranky's Lab can be found by climbing the boxes (the ones with Lanky's Banana Bunch Coins on them) in the room where Chunky is unlocked and the lab is beside Candy's Shop. This is where Cranky will give the potions for the Gorilla Grab for Donkey Kong, Simian Spring for Diddy Kong, Pony Tail Twirl for Tiny Kong and Baboon Balloon for Lanky Kong. Chunky Kong can learn both of his first moves, Hunky Chunky and Primate Punch, in this area or learn them in Jungle Japes/Angry Aztec.

Gloomy Galleon[]

Cranky's Lab can be found in the area straight ahead from the world entry where the two broken ships are on the left (where Diddy can find red bananas.) There are no new abilities to be learned in this area.

Fungi Forest[]

Cranky's Lab is located in the area with the giant mushroom. All Kongs learn the Super Simian Slam, allowing them to pound blue switches.

Crystal Caves[]

Cranky's Lab is located by going to the right of Funky's Armory past the Gnawty in the area where Tiny Kong's barrel is located. This is where Cranky will give the potions for the Monkeyport for Tiny Kong, OrangSprint for Lanky Kong and Gorilla Gone for Chunky Kong.

Creepy Castle[]

Cranky's Lab is located by scaling the castle in the middle of the world. All Kongs learn the Super Duper Simian Slam, allowing them to pound red switches.

Music[]

Trivia[]

  • Cranky's Lab is the only place to be found in nearly every single level in the game with it not appearing in the final level, Hideout Helm.
