Monkey Mines

Monkey Mines (simply known as Mines in the animated series) is the second area adventured through in the game Donkey Kong Country. The only animal buddy used in this area is Winky the Frog. The boss of the area is Master Necky. This area was also the first appearance of the Kremling, Krash, as well as the first place with mine-kart stages. There was a temple at the end of the stage which is currently believed to be built by the Kremlings, but no true evidence.

In the cartoon, this area is closely connected to King K. Rool and his minions' base.
