In ''Donkey Kong Country'', Winky only appears in a few levels, three of which are in [[Monkey Mines]]. He first appears in [[Winky's Walkway]], which is named after him. As the level's name implies, Winky is the main feature. Winky has the ability to jump higher than the Kongs, which is useful for reaching collectibles such as [[Banana]]s or [[Extra Life Balloon]]s. He has the ability to defeat [[Zinger]]s by jumping on them. | In ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', Winky only appears in a few levels, three of which are in [[Monkey Mines]].
