Minkey

Minkeys are monkey-like enemies that first appeared in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and Donkey Kong Land III. They are on the sides of trees, throwing acorns at the Kongs in an attempt to hurt them. They appear in two levels; Barrel Shield Bust-Up and Sunken Spruce (in the GBA version of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!), but in Donkey Kong Deluxe: Adventures on DK Island, Minkeys made their first appearance in Minkey Mischief, the sixth level of Kongo Jungle.

Minkeys appear in jungle and forest-based levels and are possibly similar to Manky Kongs from Donkey Kong Country. Minkeys are small white monkeys similar to the Japanese Macaque, a white monkey that lives in the snowy areas of Japan.
