Rool and his Kremling army. Season 2, episode 10 is titled "Ape-Nesia" and follows the gang as they deal with a mysterious case of amnesia.
The episode begins with Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong enjoying a peaceful day on the beach when a strange object falls from the sky and hits Donkey Kong on the head. The impact knocks him out and when he wakes up, he can't remember anything about himself or his friends.
Diddy is perplexed and worried, as this has never happened to DK before. He decides to take him back to their treehouse to try and jog his memory. Along the way, they encounter their other friends: Dixie Kong, Funky Kong, and Cranky Kong. However, Donkey Kong doesn't recognize any of them and they all start to believe that he may have permanent amnesia.
As they try to figure out what caused Donkey Kong's amnesia, they begin to suspect that it may be related to the object that fell from the sky. They decide to investigate the area where it landed and discover that it was actually a spaceship from an unknown planet.
The gang decides to investigate the ship, hoping to find some answers. Inside, they discover a group of aliens who seem to have crash-landed on the island. The aliens explain that they are on a mission to find a specific type of fruit that only grows on Donkey Kong's island. They had planned to trade with the Kongs, but in the crash, they accidentally erased their own memories as well.
As the Kongs learn more about the aliens and their mission, they begin to realize that the aliens' fruit is actually the cause of Donkey Kong's amnesia. The fruit has a special chemical in it that erases memories, and Donkey Kong must have eaten some of it when it fell from the sky and hit him on the head.
Determined to find a cure for Donkey Kong's amnesia, the Kongs and the aliens work together to create an antidote that will restore their memories. They successfully create the antidote, but they have to act fast before Donkey Kong forgets his entire life and identity.
In a dramatic final scene, the Kongs give Donkey Kong the antidote and his memories are restored. He finally recognizes all of his friends and remembers everything about his past. The aliens thank the Kongs for their help and give them a special reward for their assistance.
