Expresso II, Cranky Kong's pet racing bird.

Expresso II is an ostrich Animal Buddy found only in the GameBoy Advance remake of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest.

Expresso II was apparently bought by Cranky Kong who used the "vast fortune" he made from his "starring role" in the game Donkey Kong Country. Cranky had planned on raising Expresso II as a racing bird; unfortunately Expresso II was extremely small and weak. Expresso II can be found, along with Cranky, at Cranky's Hut.

In order to make Expresso II big and strong Cranky told both Diddy and Dixie Kong to find various Golden Feathers scattered throughout the levels of Donkey Kong Country 2. Each feather given to Expresso II would raise one of the tiny bird's stats, and increase him in size.

After becoming big and powerful Expresso II can be raced against other Ostriches in a mini-game known as Expresso Racing; if Expresso II won a race he would obtain a trophy. If Diddy, Dixie and Expresso II gained all the trophys in the game they can give them to Cranky to receive a DK Coin and a picture of Expresso II for Wrinkly's Scrapbook.

Expresso II is not to be confused with his namesake, Expresso despite the two being identical in appearance.
