====''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''====

In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', a Winky figure makes a cameo in the background of the [[Monkey Museum]], priced at five dollars. This cameo was removed from [[Cranky's Hut]] in the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, although a small Winky is contained in a cage, which it hops around in. These smaller variants also hop around in the swamp-themed stages of [[Krem Quay]].

Cranky also mentioned Winky and Expresso in the Super Nintendo version's instruction manual by saying, "''A more tragic looking bunch of useless no-hopers you'll never see! I liked Expresso and Winky--where have they gone?''". His appreciation of both Animal Friends is shown from their figurines in his Monkey Museum, or keeping a pet of each in the Game Boy Advance remake.
