Ask Cranky: Difference between revisions

I think the comparison to web forum is a stretch in any case. it's actually based on what was on the DKC GBA microsite. This also isn't a game, just something that uses Adobe Flash.
(Like this?)

'''''Ask Cranky''''' (also referred to as '''''Ask Cranky Kong''''') is a game played via the American English website for ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'' in 2005. It functions similar to that of an [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_forum Internet forum], with the player inputting a question that can answered with a "yes" or "no," and [[Cranky Kong]] responding with one of many responses.
'''''Ask Cranky''''' (also referred to as '''''Ask Cranky Kong''''') was a section of the [[www.donkeykong.com|official ''Donkey Kong'' website]] during its time of promoting ''[[DK: King of Swing]]''. The player would input a question, and [[Cranky Kong]] would reply with a randomly generated response.


==Responses==
''Ask Cranky'' is very similar to a section on the [[www.donkeykongcountry.com|''Donkey Kong Country'' official website]] that very similarly involved asking Cranky a question for a randomly generated response.
