Monchees in the Nintendo Switch remake

Monchee,[1] generically referred to as monkeys,[2] are Monkikki toys that appear in Mario vs. Donkey Kong and its remake. They are cylindrical, almost barrel-like cymbal-banging monkey toys. Like their organic counterparts, Mario can grab and hold onto their tails, which usually hang below whatever platform a Monchee is pacing on. If Mario grabs onto a rope and a Monchee at the same time, the Monchee will remain in place until Mario lets go of either the rope or the Monchee. Riding a Monchee's tail can help Mario get across several obstacles such as spikes. However, unlike their predecessors, directly touching a Monchee from the side will cause Mario to lose a life. There is also a more robotic-looking version of this enemy that moves at a faster pace called Robokikki.
