'''Monkey Mines''' (simply known as '''Mines''' in the [[Donkey Kong Country (show)|animated series]]) is the second area adventured through in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. The only animal buddy used in this area is [[Winky the Frog]]. The boss of the area is [[Master Necky]]. This area was also the first appearance of the [[Kremling]], [[Krash]], as well as the first place with mine-kart stages. There was a temple at the end of the stage which is currently believed to be built by the Kremlings, but there is no evidence to prove this.

[[Winky's Walkway]] is the first level of Monkey Mines is also the first level to feature Winky the Frog. The high-jumping amphibian can only be reached by jumping off of a [[Necky]]. This level is also the shortest in the game, being about half the length of a normal level. Enemies here include some Neckies that help the Kongs reach higher areas, [[Gnawty|Gnawties]] who are mainly spat out of [[Oil Drum]]s, and [[Klaptrap]]s who are regular enemies throughout the level. The level becomes extended in the [[Game Boy Color]] version.
