'''Wrinkly Doors''' are special instances featured in the game ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. These objects look like oval, wooden doors in a colored frame and have [[Wrinkly Kong]]'s face imprinted on them. The [[Kong]]s can get in contact with the deceased Wrinkly Kong through them. They are found in the lobbies of the regular worlds and their purpose is to give advice to the player, so they can play the game more efficient.

Wrinkly's Doors are present in the lobby of every regular world featured in the game, except for [[Hideout Helm]]. Five of them can be found in each lobby. When the player approaches one of the doors, a ghostly image of Wrinkly Kong will appear, accompanied by an eldrich howl. The ghost of Wrinkly will then give the player a hint, how they can find a specific [[Golden Banana]] in the level. The color of the door's frame shows which one of the Kongs can retrieve the banana. After giving advice, Wrinkly will go back behind the door with another spooky noise.

Wrinkly's advice is only available if the respective Kong has already been freed of [[King K. Rool]]'s custody. If the Kong belonging to the door's color has not been unlocked at this moment, the door will show a big question mark with the corresponding Kong's color instead of Wrinkly's face. 

In the lobby of [[Angry Aztec]], [[Chunky Kong]]'s Wrinkly Door is initially not available. [[Tiny Kong]] needs to shoot a [[Target Switch|Feather Switch]] in the lobby to open up a small room with two [[Zinger]]s and a black switch. Once the player defeats the Zingers, a [[Cranky's Kong Barrel|Chunky Barrel]] will appear next to the black switch. Chunky can then use his [[Hunky Chunky]] ability and [[Simian Slam]] the black switch to reveal his Wrinkly Door.

In the lobby of [[Crystal Caves]], all Wrinkly Doors are blocked off by big blocks of ice. Inside a cave in the lobby, Chunky can pick up a [[boulder]] and put it down on a switch in the center of the lobby that will move the ice blocks, making the Wrinkly Doors accessible.

==Trivia==
*Tiny Kong's hint for Frantic Factory doesn't mention how to obtain a Golden Banana, but a [[Boss Key]]. However, in the [[List of Donkey Kong 64 pre-release and unused content|pre-release version]] of the game, [[Mad Jack]] was meant to be a mini-boss fought by Tiny in the R&D Room of Frantic Factory. In the final version of the game, Mad Jack is the main boss of the level while the [[Toy Monster]] is the mini-boss fought by Chunky Kong in the R&D Room, meaning the hint was probably an oversight.
