Despite all his boasting, I don't think Cranky is likely to step out of his cabin to join the crew. Regardless of his mini game found in the GBA port of DKC3 and how he was a racer in Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast, an adventuring game is something completely different. Besides, if he ranted about not being caught dead in a game that has scrolling screens and bonus levels, we'll never hear the end of his complaining about being forced to participate in an adventure "on one of those newfangled HD consoles with a camera that moves all over the place and a significant lack of sprites."
I miss Cranky's rants.
