| '''Minkeys''' are small white ape<ref>{{cite|quote=These malicious apes live in trees and throw acorns at the peaceful Kongs, the traitors!

In the latter game, their name is spelled '''Minkys'''. In both games, Minkeys hold on to a perch from a tree, repeatedly throwing acorns at [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]]. Minkeys cannot be defeated, but Dixie or Kiddy can move behind a [[Barrel Shield]] to protect themselves from being hit. In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', Minkeys only appear in one level, [[Barrel Shield Bust-Up]], where they are the main enemy and obstacle. In the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], Minkeys also appear in [[Sunken Spruce]]. Additionally, [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]] features a photograph of a Minkey categorized under [[Terrorfirma Tuff Guys]]. In ''Donkey Kong Land III'', they appear in three levels: [[Minky Mischief]], [[Redwood Rampage]], and [[Simian Shimmy]], slightly more than in ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''. | |

| | In ''Donkey Kong Country 3'' Minkeys are found only in one level called "[[Barrel Sheild Bust-Up]]", which is located in the area [[Kremwood Forest]]. Minkeys attack [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] by hurling an acorn at them from their perch in a tree, they will then proceed to duck back into their perch and pop back out to throw another acorn. Dixie or Kiddy can either dodge these thrown nuts or use a [[Barrel Shield]] to protect themselves. |

| | * Minkeys resemble the helpful [[White Monkey]]s of ''[[Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat]]'' and the evil [[Ninjape]]s of the same game. Whether or not these other simians are Minkeys (or at least related to them) is unknown. |
