Minkey

Minkeys (alternately known as Minky) are small white monkeys encountered in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble and Donkey Kong Land III.

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 III Minkeys (here spelled Minky instead of Minkey) are slightly more common, being found in three levels (Minky Mischief, Redwood Rampage and Simian Shimmy).

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

Trivia
