+'''No Animal Signs'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet, [[Media:DKC2 Manual 16-17.jpg|page 16]].</ref> are objects featured in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest|Donkey Kong Country 2]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!|3]]'' and their handheld counterparts, ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III|III]]''. They are located in [[level]]s with an [[Animal Friend]], and their only purpose is to prevent them from crossing it, oftentimes at the end of a level.
-When an Animal Friend attempts to pass by a No Animal Sign, they will either disappear if it is accompanying the [[Kong]]s, or transform back into the apes if they emerged from an [[Animal Barrel]]. Although the Animal Friend disappears, the Kongs will usually be rewarded with a special [[item]], such as an [[Extra Life Balloon]]. The rewards are often greater if it is difficult to reach the No Animal Sign. Additionally, there is a No Animal Sign for [[Nibbla]], but unlike with the other Animal Friends, it does not turn into an item if the Kongs swim past the sign; Nibbla instead stays behind.
+In its ''Donkey Kong Country'' appearances, the corresponding Animal Friend is depicted on the No Animal Sign, with a red no symbol over it. In the ''Donkey Kong Land'' series, every sign only depicts the no symbol.
-No Animal Signs do not appear in ''Donkey Kong Country'', as the Kongs can ride Animal Friends to the end of the level (although they cannot take their friends to the next level), which is also the case of its modern sequels, ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''. The Animal Signs are absent from ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' as well, which has an invisible barrier that, once crossed, will forcibly change a Kong who has been transformed into an Animal Friend back to normal.

+The Animal Friend disappears if the [[Kong]]s ride it past a No Animal Sign, otherwise, if it emerged from an [[Animal Barrel]], it transforms back into the Kongs. The Kongs are usually rewarded with an [[item]], such as an [[Extra Life Balloon]]. The rewards usually improve based on the level difficulty. There are a few instances where crossing a No Animal Sign reveals a [[DK Coin]].
+In ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', crossing a No Animal Sign  an object that leads to the collectible, such as a [[Steel Keg]] meant to throw behind a [[Koin]], or even a [[Bonus Barrel]]. [[Nibbla]] also has its own sign, but unlike the other Animal Friends, it stops at the sign and does not move past it.
+In ''Donkey Kong Land III'', No Animal Signs no longer spawn rewards when crossed. Some levels have an Animal Friend without a corresponding No Animal Sign. This means that the Animal Friend can reach and activate the end [[Flagpole]], but it is still unable to access the following level.
+No Animal Signs do not appear in the first ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', but [[Donkey Kong|DK]] and [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] can finish a level with their mounted Animal Friend. However, the Buddy does not proceed to the next level with them. This is also the case in its modern sequels, ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''.
+While No Animal Signs do not appear in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', Rambi and Enguarde transform back into their respective Kong, DK and Lanky, if it goes outside its intended region. Before they transform back, a red no symbol displays on-screen, accompanied by a menacing laugh.
