Since their first appearance in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', Animal Friends have appeared in several subsequent ''[[Donkey Kong (franchise)|Donkey Kong]]'' titles, especially the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' series and ''[[Donkey Kong Land (series)|Donkey Kong Land]]'' series. | ||
Every Animal Friend has its own abilities, which are sometimes shared between two or more Animal Friends, usually if they do not appear in the same game. Animal Friends generally help by defeating enemies, finding special items, and allowing the Kongs to reach [[bonus room|Bonus Level]]s and other high areas. In some cases, a special item, such as a couple of [[DK Coin]]s, can be obtained only through the aid of an Animal Friend. A few of the Animal Friends have the sole purpose of allowing the Kongs to navigate an environment, such as by illuminating a dark area, and are found in only a few relevant areas. None of the Animal Friends can use [[rope]]s, and most of them cannot carry objects such as [[barrel]]s. | Every Animal Friend has its own abilities, which are sometimes shared between two or more Animal Friends, usually if they do not appear in the same game.

Similar to animal crates are [[Animal Barrel]]s, which transform the Kongs into the depicted Animal Friend. Whenever two Kongs are active, a small icon of the same Animal Friend is shown at the bottom left of the screen to represent the other Kong. The Animal Friend can sustain two hits from an enemy or most obstacles, meaning that it loses a life only if hit a third time. Whenever the Animal Friend takes one hit, its bottom left icon disappears to indicate that only one of the Kongs is presently transformed into it. Touching a [[DK Barrel]] causes the second Kong, and therefore the Animal Friend's icon, to reappear. Whenever the Kongs cross a No Animal Sign, they transform back into themselves. In the ''Donkey Kong Land'' series, some levels do not have a No Animal Sign near the end, so they can be completed by an Animal Friend, who then turns back into the Kongs afterward. | Similar to animal crates are [[Animal Barrel]]s, which transform the Kongs into the depicted Animal Friend.
