Monchees first appear in [[Stage 4-3]] in the [[Jungle (Donkey Kong)|Jungle]]. They have long tails that hang below their platforms that [[Mario]] can use like a regular vertical rope to cross gaps. Holding onto a Monchee's tail while gripping a vine or another Monchee will cause it to squeak as it finds itself unable to move. Monchees are also entirely harmless creatures that will pass through Mario if he contacts them from the side. | |||

In ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'', Monchees have a toylike design, resembling cylindrical, almost [[barrel]]-like {{wp|Cymbal-banging monkey toy|cymbal-banging monkey toy}}s. Like before, Mario can grab and hold onto their tails, which usually hang below whatever platform a Monchee is pacing on. If Mario grabs onto a rope and a Monchee at the same time, the Monchee will remain in place until Mario lets go of either the rope or the Monchee. Riding a Monchee's tail can help Mario get across several obstacles such as [[Spike Trap|spike]]s. However, unlike their previous appearance, directly touching a Monchee from the side will cause Mario to lose a [[extra life|life]]. If a Monchee is standing on a color-coded platform, Mario can press a [[Color Switch|switch]] of a different color to remove the platform. In the original [[Game Boy Advance]] version, this causes the Monchee's eyes to bulge as it falls to a lower elevation. | |||

- —Monchee description, Mario vs. Donkey Kong instruction booklet
Monchees,[1] generically referred to as monkeys,[2] are monkey characters appearing in Donkey Kong for Game Boy, as well as Mario vs. Donkey Kong and its remake.
History[edit]
Donkey Kong (Game Boy)[edit]
Monchees first appear in Stage 4-3 in the Jungle. They have long tails that hang below their platforms that Mario can use like a regular vertical rope to cross gaps. Holding onto a Monchee's tail while gripping a vine or another Monchee will cause it to squeak as it finds itself unable to move. Monchees are also entirely harmless creatures that will pass through Mario if he contacts them from the side.
Mario vs. Donkey Kong[edit]
In Mario vs. Donkey Kong, Monchees have a toylike design, resembling cylindrical, almost barrel-like cymbal-banging monkey toys. Like before, Mario can grab and hold onto their tails, which usually hang below whatever platform a Monchee is pacing on. If Mario grabs onto a rope and a Monchee at the same time, the Monchee will remain in place until Mario lets go of either the rope or the Monchee. Riding a Monchee's tail can help Mario get across several obstacles such as spikes. However, unlike their previous appearance, directly touching a Monchee from the side will cause Mario to lose a life. If a Monchee is standing on a color-coded platform, Mario can press a switch of a different color to remove the platform. In the original Game Boy Advance version, this causes the Monchee's eyes to bulge as it falls to a lower elevation.
There is also a more robotic-looking version of this enemy that moves at a faster pace called Robo Kikki.
