Minkey

Minkeys are small white monkeys encountered in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble and Donkey Kong Land 3.

In Donkey Kong Country 3 Minkeys are found only in one level called "Barrel Shield Bust-Up", which is located in the area Kremwood Forest. Minkeys attack Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong by hurling an acorn at them from their perch in a tree, they will then proceed to duck back into their perch and pop back out to throw another acorn. Dixie or Kiddy can either dodge these thrown nuts or use a Barrel Shield to protect themselves.

In Donkey Kong Land 3 Minkeys are slightly more common, being found in three levels ("Minky Mischeif", "Redwood Rampage" and "Simian Shimmy") instead of just one.

In the GameBoy Advance remake of Donkey Kong Country 3 Minkeys are also found in the level "Sunken Spruce", which is located in the area Pacifica, which is found only in the GameBoy Advance remake.

Trivia

 * Minkeys resemble the helpful White Monkeys of Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat and the evil Ninjapes of the same game. Whether or not these other simians are Minkeys (or at least related to them) is unknown.
