The first appearance of Wrinkly Kong was in the game Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. Here, Wrinkly manages the Kong Kollege where Diddy and Dixie Kong can save their game progress. Wrinkly, like her husband Cranky Kong, can also give the Kongs information on the various items and objects found throughout the game.

In the Game Boy Advance remake of Donkey Kong Country 2, Dixie and Diddy can also do a homework assignment for Wrinkly, called Wrinkly's Task. The purpose of Wrinkly's Task is to fill up a scrapbook, given to the Kongs by Wrinkly with pictures. For every page of the scrapbook filled up Wrinkly will give the Kongs a DK Coin.

Wrinkly next appeared in the Game Boy game, Donkey Kong Land 2. Here she once again gives hints to Diddy and Dixie, along with saving the Kongs progress.

Living in a CaveEdit

In Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble Wrinkly makes a return appearance. In this game, Wrinkly seems to have retired as a teacher at the Kong Kollege, she now runs Wrinkly's Save Cave. In the cave, Dixie and Kiddy Kong can save their game, the cave is also where the various Banana Birds the Kongs collect are stored. When the Kongs enter to the cave they can find her either dancing, sleeping or playing video games.

In the Game Boy Advance remake of Donkey Kong Country 3, Wrinkly's role is slightly lessened. Now, Wrinkly serves no real purpose in the game except taking care of Banana Birds, which she seems to have become a spiritual follower of.

In Donkey Kong Land III Wrinkly's role remains relatively the same, where she saves the Kong's progress. The only real difference between roles is that Wrinkly no longer cares for Banana Birds, which aren't in the game.

Hints as a GhostEdit

In Wrinkly's next appearance, Donkey Kong 64 it is revealed that she had passed away after the events of Donkey Kong Country 3. In Donkey Kong 64, Wrinkly now inhabits Wrinkly Doors which are found in the entrance of every area except Hideout Helm. If a Kong steps in front of a Wrinkly Door, Wrinkly will pop out and, using her supernatural powers, will give the Kong hints on what to do in the area they are currently in. With the exception of Tiny's door in the antechamber for Frantic Factory, which gives a crucial hint for defeating Mad Jack, each of these hints indicates how to obtain one of their five Golden Bananas for the level.

In DK: King of Swing, Wrinkly, still a ghost, aids her husband Cranky in teaching her grandson, Donkey Kong, in learning the unique controls of the game. She is the one that teaches Donkey how to climb the Peg Boards. She also helps Cranky teach Donkey how to attack. Wrinkly is also playable in the game's Jungle Jam mode, where her partner is, interestingly, a Kritter. In this game, she has good jump and medium attack. It was in this game that she was playable for first time.

  • Jump: 4
  • Attack: 3

She returned in DK: Jungle Climber. She went on vacation to Sun Sun Island, along with all of the other Kongs. Wrinkly appears in the opening cutscene, where she is seen enjoying the scenery, alongside Cranky Kong. She carries a white umbrella for protection against the sun's rays. Although she has official artwork, this is the only time she appears in the entire game. This is similar to Candy Kong in the predecessor, DK: King of Swing. This was Wrinkly's first appearance on the DS.
