They demonstrate what to do in various situations and help tally up his [[banana]]s at the [[Sacred Tree]] found at the end of every level. Often, they are shown playing instruments, dancing, or clapping. They are predominately found in the stretch of the jungle referred to as the [[Opening Ceremony]], but they appear throughout the game. Aside from telling Donkey Kong what to do, the Helper Monkeys also assist him in getting to hard to reach places. Often, a green bush that is floating in the air will have a Helper Monkey in it; once Donkey Kong stands close to the bush and the player claps, the Monkey inside grabs Donkey Kong and throws him up to the higher area. A rare variation of this only found in the [[Clock Tower]] follows Donkey Kong up along a straight rope to fling him in a [[Wall Jump]]-esque manner. Occasionally, Helper Monkeys will hold on to each other and form a rope, which Donkey Kong can swing across on.

*"''Oh! My aching head... Hey, [[Donkey Kong|DK]]! The other kingdoms have taken all our [[banana]]s away! Please help us! Go show those nasty kings who's boss! Oh! I almost forgot... If you swipe {{button|wii|Wiimote}} while tilting {{button|wii|Stick}}, you'll send a sound wave in the direction you're focusing!''"
*"''Did I hear you're going to help us? You'll punish the other kings? Then get warmed up by testing your strength on that [[barrel]] tree over there!''"
*"''Gather every banana you can! You'll need them for your big one-on-one battle! As you go through the two areas of [[Banana Kingdom|this kingdom]], gather all you can for the big battle at the end! Who will you go hand to hand with at the very end? [[Dread Kong|The king who stole our bananas]], of course!''"
*"''You're not far from the king now! Are you grabbing every banana you can? You need every banana you can find for the coming battle!''"
*"''Have you seen many bananas in one spot? Here's how to get them all at once! Press {{button|wii|A}} while jumping to do an air grab! You'll nab all the bananas in one grab! And you'll score more than if you get each separately!''"
*"''If you grab many bananas at once, you'll score more than if you get them separately! It's easy! Press {{button|wii|A}} while jumping to perform an air grab!''"
*"''If you offer enough bananas to the sacred tree, you'll get a [[crest]] as proof of your power. Hmm, what was it again? Oh, yes! One crest for 200 bananas. Two crests for 500 bananas. And when you earn lots of crests... Um... Well, I bet something will happen!''"
*"''Checkpoint[!] You'll restart here if you lose all your hearts!''"

*"''Try combining several kinds of actions without touching ground! Each move attracts a combo fairy, which will spin around you! Round and round they go... Your fairies multiply all bananas you get before you touch [the] ground. But if you're hit first...they'll vanish.''"
*"''Try to combine a variety of actions before you touch [the] ground. Use the vines and barrels to add actions! Build your combo by combining different actions in midair! Doing the same actions won't work. Keep your combo going to multiply all bananas you get on the way. Don't get hit, or you'll lose them!''"
*"''Hop into that [[Bubble Shrub]] there! You'll float upward! As you rise, tilt your Wii Remote to roll left and right. Oh! If you press {{button|wii|A}} while floating, you can pop your bubble. Be careful!''"

*"''We can't thank you enough! You are truly the king of everything!''"
*"''Come on, everybody! Let's hear it for your new king!''"
