No Animal Signs appear in any [[level]] with an [[Animal Friends|Animal Friend]], usually at the end, and prevent the Animal Friend from continuing past that point. In the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' series, every No Animal Sign depicts a certain Animal Friend with a red {{wp|no symbol|"no" symbol}} over it, but in the [[Donkey Kong Land (series)|''Donkey Kong Land'' series]], only the "no" symbol is shown, meaning there are no specific variations of them. The Animal Friend disappears if the [[Kong]]s ride it beyond a No Animal Sign. If it emerged from an [[Animal Barrel]], it transforms back into the Kongs. The Kongs are usually rewarded with an [[item]], such as an [[Red Balloon|Extra Life Balloon]]. The rewards usually improve based on the level difficulty. There are a few instances where crossing a No Animal Sign reveals a [[DK Coin]].
'''No Animal Signs'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet, [[Media:DKC2 Manual 16-17.jpg|page 16]].</ref> are objects featured in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest|Donkey Kong Country 2]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!|3]]'' and their handheld counterparts, ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III|III]]''. They are located in [[level]]s with an [[Animal Friend]], and their only purpose is to prevent them from crossing it, oftentimes at the end of a level.


In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', crossing a No Animal Sign may turn the Animal Friend into an object that leads to a collectible, such as a [[Steel Keg]] meant to throw behind a [[Koin]], or even a [[Bonus Barrel]]. [[Nibbla]] also has its own sign in [[Fish Food Frenzy]], but unlike the Animal Friends, it stops at the sign and does not move past it. In [[Krack Shot Kroc|Krack-Shot Kroc]], a metallic version of a No Animal Sign represents the end of [[Kroc]]'s range, with the beginning being marked by a regular triangular warning sign.
In its ''Donkey Kong Country'' appearances, the corresponding Animal Friend is depicted on the No Animal Sign, with a red no symbol over it. In the ''Donkey Kong Land'' series, every sign only depicts the no symbol.


In ''Donkey Kong Land III'', No Animal Signs no longer spawn rewards when crossed. Some levels have an Animal Friend without a corresponding No Animal Sign. This means that the Animal Friend can reach and activate the [[Level Flag]], but it is still unable to access the following level. Additionally, in the [[toboggan]] levels, No Animal Signs are featured in the form of '''"No Sled" signs'''.<ref>{{cite|date=December 1997|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|title=''Nintendo Power'' volume 103|page=86}}</ref>
== Overview ==
[[File:Topsail Trouble Animal Sign.png|thumb|200px|left|The Kongs lead Rattly into a No Animal Sign in Topsail Trouble.]]
The Animal Friend disappears if the [[Kong]]s ride it past a No Animal Sign, otherwise, if it emerged from an [[Animal Barrel]], it transforms back into the Kongs. The Kongs are usually rewarded with an [[item]], such as an [[Extra Life Balloon]]. The rewards usually improve based on the level difficulty. There are a few instances where crossing a No Animal Sign reveals a [[DK Coin]].


No Animal Signs do not appear in the first ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', so [[Donkey Kong|DK]] and [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] can finish a level with their mounted Animal Friend. However, it cannot proceed to the next level with the Kongs. This is also the case in its modern sequels, ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''. Additionally, while No Animal Signs do not appear in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', Rambi and Enguarde transform back into their respective Kong, DK and Lanky, if they go outside their intended region. Before this occurs, a red no symbol displays on-screen, as well as a sound effect of [[King K. Rool]]'s laughter.
In ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', crossing a No Animal Sign may turn the Animal Friend into an object that leads to a collectible, such as a [[Steel Keg]] meant to throw behind a [[Koin]], or even a [[Bonus Barrel]]. [[Nibbla]] also has its own sign, but unlike the other Animal Friends, it stops at the sign and does not move past it.


No Animal Signs appear in the following variations and within the following games:
In ''Donkey Kong Land III'', No Animal Signs no longer spawn rewards when crossed. Some levels have an Animal Friend without a corresponding No Animal Sign. This means that the Animal Friend can reach and activate the [[Level Flag]], but it is still unable to access the following level.
