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 [[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]].


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>

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.
