Story Appearances[]

Super Mario Bros.: Legend of the Chaos Star[]

I had to [come]. Who else is gonna add some flavor to this boring, poorly-written excuse for a story?
Legend of the Chaos Star Part 11

Cranky first appeared in the fourth chapter, where he (reluctantly) agreed to attend Mario and Luigi's surprise birthday party at Princess Peach's castle. However, the moment they arrived, they found that it was no longer there, as it had been hijacked, uprooted, and taken into the sky by Bowser. After expressing what a "waste of time" it was to have come all that way, Cranky and the other Kongs mysteriously vanished (thanks to the Pixl, Polywarp), and found themselves at Merluvlee's house in Shooting Star Summit.

While there, Merluvlee, Polywarp, and the other two Pixls, Starlight and Purity, elaborated on the current situation. They went on to explain that a void has appeared in the sky, thanks to the power of the Chaos Star, and that it could only be stopped by collecting the eight Purity Stars, which were stolen by Dimentia and Dimention. Not wanting the universe to get destroyed, and feeling as if he was the only saving grace to a "rubbish story" like SolarBlaze's, Cranky agreed to help track down the Purity Stars alongside the other heroes. He decided to tag along with Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Toad, Yoshi, and Birdo over at Iggy Koopa's castle, where one of the stars was being kept. From there, they all fought the deranged Koopaling, defeated him, and obtained the third Purity Star.

In the twelfth chapter, Cranky ended up running into Pauline again for the first time in years. Despite his claim that he knows everything there is to know about the story, her identity is the one thing he's puzzled by. He did, however, say that he couldn't shake the feeling that they've met somewhere before. Pauline, on the other hand, did not recognize Cranky at all, most likely because of how much he's aged since their last encounter.
