Bonus Areas are usually revealed by finding either a secret passage or by jumping into a [[Bonus Barrel]]. In Bonus Areas, there's almost always a prize of some nature. In games following ''Donkey Kong Country'', there is always a goal of some sort in the Bonus Areas that the [[Kong]]s need to accomplish, and a useful reward for meeting it like a Puzzle Piece in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''.
