Donkey Kong takes a job opportunity to dig through the mines of Ingot Isle for Banandium Gems. When suddenly he is swept away by an evil monkey group known as VoidCo, who aren't just in it for the gems, but more for something deep and powerful hidden below the core of the world. To stop them, Donkey Kong has to protect a young Pauline and dig into the core before they do. However, there's something or someone else eagerly waiting for DK to arrive.
