Aw yeah! I edited the title to Mystery! That sounds cooler! Who should be the characters? Diddy and Donkey, but should they have the Kongs as partners or new ones, or both.
I say both kongs and other partners. Cranky needs to appear as a shopkeeperat least. Funky could be that dude who gives you sidequests or challenges you to surfing and then he gives cool items
Diddy and Donkey as main characters. Cranky as a shop keeper. Funky as a Trouble Center type area. Candy as the inn keeper and she hears lots of rumors and mysteries.
Dixie Kong: The third main character. A cheerful and energtic female ape with hair abilities that make her fly. At the beginning of the game she goes missing and is thought to be kidnapped. Later on it is revealed that she went on her own quest to find the truth behind banana boogeyman.
Kiddy Kong: the youngest Kong returns. He is an optional party member who can be obtained after completing babysitting Kiddy sidequest.
Cranky kong: the eldery ape who rambles a lot. He is a shopkeeper but not that willing to help...as back in his time videogames didnt have shops all over the place.
Candy Kong: Donkey kongs girlfriend. This female ape hosts an inn and tells you rumors and mysteries
Funky kong: A surfloving kong. He asks you help on various stuff and will reward you with items. You can even challenge him on surfchallenge
Tiny Kong: This kong trades with you items. If you have the items she wants she will give you even rarer and better items (and equipment too)
Haylock Sosmes: A legendary detective who solves mysteries. There is a big mystery shrouding him as well
Cedric: a raven and the leader of a strange banana business. He is always mumbling something and talking about how to use bananas as energy source (which the Kongs have mixed opinions about). Later on it is revealed that he has to do something with the boogeyman... but what exactly?*see villains and bosses section for more info*
Animal Buddies
Bluey the Blue Whale - A friendly whale who will allow the Kongs to travel the seas. He can swim through rough currents and sea storms. He is very loud and always hungry. This whale can also be clumsy, causing trouble for ships or ports.
Buttercup the Butterfly - She can dazzle enemies with her beauty. She also has an ability to pick up on scents, so she will come in handle when looking for treasure, missing friends, or clues if a mystery arises!
Edgar the Eagle - This eagle is willing to fly the Kongs to any previous location on the map and can easily intimidate foes. He will not fly over water though, as he has a fear of it as he has never touched it before.
Mipsy Mouse - A shy mouse who plays the flute. She is very tiny and speaks ever so softly, as an almost inaudible whisper. Her knowledge is vast though and she is always willing to give clues or details. Her flute has various effects, such as buffing stats for the Kongs or inflicting status ailments on the enemies.
Ollie the owl- An owl with high knowledge of the land. He lives in a society full of owls and is first met there. He knows a lot about things and is talkative, but has poor social skills due to the fact he has only lived in his home "forest"(doesnt know when to stop).He is very enthustiastic of discovering new things. He serves as the guide for the kongs and serves as the "tattler" for the battle. He also is able to use wind spells, which stun the enemy for a while.
Villains and Bosses:
Banana Boogeyman - The supposed main villain. This monster is shrouded in mystery and no one knows its true identity
Siamese Simian Siblings - Two brothers who are twins. They are rivals to Donkey and Diddy. They are masters at mimicking each others moves as well as the moves of Donkey and Diddy.
Hermy the Hermite Krab- a hermite crab whose home was destroyed by a mysterious force. Because of this he becomes hostile and attacks the kongs. His claws are rather dangerous. After beating him he calms down and becomes an animal buddy of sorts.
Bananabot X19 - a robot resembling banana for purpose of stealing bananas. It is able to launch cannons that resemble (big surprise) bananas.
Cedric: the true main villain and force behind the boogeyman. He was a young and innovative businessman to be who thought of turning food (such as bananas) into energy. The other animals didnt like the idea and mocked Cedric for making up such "nonsensical ideas". Cedric decided to "fullfill his dreams no matter the cost" and disappeared. Years later Cedric returned to the Island. Little did the animals know that Cedric was the one behind boogeyman. In battle Cedric uses a spear and is an agile fighter, who uses magic as well. However he is very fragile and can be beaten quite easily using strong attacks: if you can hit him that is
Mr. X (optional)- a mysterious Kremling like creature. This Phantom Kremling can use his hook to attack the enemies. He is also able to make your party miss a turn. The hardest boss in the game who can be fought after beating the main story, much like Galacta Knight in Kirby RPG or Antasma in King Boo's revenge.
Locations:
Kongo Jungle - The home of the main characters, Donkey and Diddy, as well as the Kong clan.
Banana Beach - A beautiful beach not far from Kongo Jungle. Marine life and crabs live here. A giant whale is said to live nearby
Whale Bay - Bluey's home. He lives in this peaceful bay. However, he has started to notice some Bog water seeping into his serene water and fears that all the water in his bay and around Banana Beach will be consumed by it.
Frozen Forest - At the top of the island is this dangerous forest. The trees are frozen and the ground is made of ice!
Banana Wasteland - A barren dump site where endless fields of banana peels lay piled.
The village of Hoo - a village in which a society of owls live. They are wise and knowledgeable scholars. In this place the players meet Ollie, one of the animal buddies, for the first time. It plays a somewhat important role for the story. You can also do a sidequest which involves helping a young and stubborn little owl who doesnt want to study
Wacky Casino - a very wacky casino hosted by a very wacky creature called Wiil. Here you can play his games and earn some banana coins if you win in them. Like in real casino the games are basically luck based, so you may lose all you coins here if you play it too much.
Boogeyman's Bog - The secret lair of the villain. Where is this place exactly? Nobody knows.
Sidequests:
Regular sidequests that can be triggered by travelling across the Konga island.
Owly help- The kongs have to help a stubborn owl by gathering studying material for him. Its later revealed that he doesnt want to study and rather had fun with his friends. DK and Diddy show to him that studying can be fun too...if done right. Reward: 200 banana coins and Banana juice (healing item)
Babysitting Kiddy- The kongs have to babysit Kiddy. They have to do him favors (such as showing to him places) and to see that he doesn't start to cry. During this sidequest you cannot visit any other areas than the ones he wants to go. You can also play with him fun minigames. Once you have shown to him the mighty Bananatree the sidequest is complete. Reward: Kiddy kong as a party member and 250 banana coins.
A new melody- the group will encounter the travelling piper. The travelling piper can teach Mispy an "attack"/melody which restores a bit hp to the whole party. Not exactly a sidequest,but its optional.
Candy's requests:
A special type of sidequest. These sidequests can be triggered by talking to Candy. She will tell you a mystery and ask if you want to solve it. If you succseed in solving it Candy will give you a good amount of coins (between 500 and 1000 usually).
Hector- There is a strange creature who lives in a cave and is rumored that he causes some problems in the Kongo Jungle by making strange noises in the night. Candy wants DK and Diddy to investigate who this strange creature is. It is revealed that it is a tiny little bat called Hector. Upon completing this sidequest Hector will give you a berry. He is happy that the kongs arent scared by him and apologises his behavior.
Mysterious ship (post game) - Candy will tell about a mysterious ship that has been spotted near the island and asks the kongs to investigate it. Upon investigating the ship the kong duo finds Mister X and fights against him. After the battle its revealed that the ship was just a ghost ship and that mister X was a ghost of a pirate kaptain who ruled the ship.

Thanks, I added that earlier. I thought it up sometime last night. No idea why I thought of that boss. Maybe that cat thread placed some Siamese thoughts in my brain.
I'll put it soon,along with a new NPC Kong I made up (he basically is a parody of famous fictional detectives such as Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot, Professor Layton etc.) and possibly another boss
That sounds cool. I love the idea so much . Was he in the dkc games btw. Just curious
how about having a bird partner who lets you fly the skies. Or a butterfly partner who can confuse enemies with her grace.
Feel free to do it buddy. Cant wait for the results ^&^
Btw I got the best idea. What if we have the scrapped Kremling villain, mr X here. He is definitely the most mysterious character in the DKC franchise so i thought hed fit. If not anything else (as we havent decided the role of Kremlings yet) he'd be an optional boss
I see. Then we need him even more. He will be the best and have such an adorable personality (since this is an rpgI want the animal buddies to have at least some personality)
Yes a butterfree xD
Personally I thought that mr x was cool yet mysterious and spooky so I'd love to have him here (whispers why isnt he the secret boo kart character instead of Gengar)
Cant wait for the edits. Btw since you love Dixie (like me) I have already planned her role on the story. I think youll like it
What if we have the scrapped Kremling villain, mr X here. He is definitely the most mysterious character in the DKC franchise
As it turns out, Mr. X, according to a former Rare employee, was merely a prototype design for the Kackle enemy in Donkey Kong Country 2. I'm not opposed to the idea of him being a separate character, though. There have been quite a few instances where I've also put beta designs and characters to use.
