I'm back from Hawaii, so I'm continuing the Western Ave. series with this gem. I'm not really sure what this store's called or what it sells because my Korean's a bit rusty, but I found the shop and its resident Kong entertaining, so here it is.

That's Kong? Looks like a surfing mummy to me.
Cowabunga!
Now that you mention it, he does look like he's surfing. Maybe what he's standing on is actually a futuristic hoverboard/flying advertisement developed by the race of super goats who, according to the uncannily-accurate predictions of Nostradamus, will eventually overtake our planet with their superior powers of digestion.
Does nobody read imaginary newspapers here? Surf-Mummy-Goat is a popular chain of office supply stores in North Korea; they advertise heavily in said papers. It's why the two unofficial names for the chain are "imaginary paper ad-revenue generator" and "kewl."
When a person next to you on the hyper-rail says: "I'm going to imaginary paper ad-revenue generator," they probably mean they are out of 20-pound laserprinter paper. They are probably also a North Korean spy, but what they buy in this country is their business.
Chris,
You should know better than to stand so close to a monkey-suicide. Or was it up there spraypainting TURK 182! in Korean? Either way, if you press the X button at the right time, you can usually kick the jumping monkey mid-air in that level. More often than not, its a one-hit kill, but if you knock them into that sign with the goat head on a pitbull body, a weapon flies out and it makes the rest of the level a breeze.
