Animal tokens most often appear in hard-to-reach places, but they are sometimes rewarded if [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] complete a [[bonus room|Bonus Level]]. When the [[Kong]]s collect an animal token, it floats to the top of the screen, makes a small noise, and goes offscreen. Additional tokens of the same Animal Friend are also briefly displayed, if the Kongs have any. When the Kongs collect three tokens of the same Animal Friend, they are warped to a bonus '''Token Area'''<ref name=SNES/> (also named '''Token Bonus Area'''),<ref>M. Arakawa. ''Donkey Kong Country'' Player's Guide. Pages 24-26.</ref> where the player controls the corresponding Animal Friend.
