'''Expresso's Racing'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2'' (Game Boy Advance) instruction booklet, page 28.</ref> is a racing [[minigame]] hosted by [[Cranky Kong]] in the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|Donkey Kong Country 2]]''. It involves [[Expresso]] racing against three other ostriches (each being a red, blue, or green palette swap of him) on a horizontal path. It can also be played from the "Bonus Games" sub-menu.


During their adventure, [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]] must collect [[golden feather]]s to increase Expresso's stats and, in turn, boost his performance during races. At times, this is the only way to make Expresso a formidable opponent during races. At [[Monkey Museum|Cranky's Hut]], the [[Kong]]s must have at least four golden feathers to select the first option, "Cranky's Surprise." Cranky Kong introduces the game to the Kongs, and they are led to a menu divided into four stats, each having a total of ten bars: Strength, Speed, Flight, and Boost. The Kongs can individually increase each stat with a golden feather.

==Gameplay==
Every race takes place in a world of [[Crocodile Isle]], and have their own obstacles. Some feathers and boosts also appear; they allow Expresso to temporarily glide through the air and to give a small speed boost, respectively. After completing a race, Cranky rewards the Kongs with a trophy, which is placed on a shelf in Cranky's Hut. The quality of the trophy depends on which place Expresso finishes in (e.g. first place for gold, second for silver, etc.) The Kongs are rewarded with a [[DK Coin|Video Game Hero Coin]] for each race that they win, and lastly a [[photograph]] of Cranky Kong if they complete every Expresso's Racing challenge.
