'''Stars''' are small star-shaped medals that appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', and their respective [[Game Boy]] counterparts, ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. Stars have the same role between all of their appearances, and they are featured only in the "Collect the Stars!" [[bonus room|Bonus Level]] challenges, where the goal is for the [[Kong]]s to collect every star within the [[Time Limit]]. A counter at the top left corner indicates how many stars still need to be collected. When the Kongs collect all the stars, either a [[Kremkoin]] or a [[Bonus Coin (Donkey Kong franchise)|Bonus Coin]] (depending on the game) spawns for the Kongs to collect within the remaining time.

In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', if the "MERRY" [[Cheat code|cheat]] is activated, every star transforms into Christmas ornaments, though the difference is only aesthetic.
