Donkey Kong and Diddy are practicing for a soccer game. In the process, Klump and Krusha end up with the coconut DK & Diddy are using, thinking it's the Crystal Coconut they take it to K. Rool. Then both DK & Diddy and Klump & Krusha keep switching the coconuts (while trying to get the Crystal Coconut).
While Cranky goes to Bluster's, Donkey Kong is left to guard the Crystal Coconut. Donkey Kong fools around with an invention of Cranky's, a mind transfering device, accidentally switching his mind with a robot Cranky had built. Klump and Krusha steal the mind transfering device. While heading back to K. Rool, Klump bumps into Candy and they get their minds switched.
