Minkeys are small white ape^[1] enemies in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and Donkey Kong Land III. In the latter game, their name is spelled Minkys. In both games, Minkeys hold on to a perch from a tree, repeatedly throwing acorns at Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong. Minkeys cannot be defeated, but Dixie or Kiddy can move behind a Barrel Shield to protect themselves from being hit. In Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, Minkeys only appear in one level, Barrel Shield Bust-Up, where they are the main enemy and obstacle. In the Game Boy Advance version, Minkeys also appear in Sunken Spruce. Additionally, Dixie Kong's Photo Album features a photograph of a Minkey categorized under Terrorfirma Tuff Guys. In Donkey Kong Land III, they appear in three levels: Minky Mischief, Redwood Rampage, and Simian Shimmy, slightly more than in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!.

In the latter game, their name is spelled '''Minkys'''. In both games, Minkeys hold on to a perch from a tree, repeatedly throwing acorns at [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]]. Minkeys cannot be defeated, but Dixie or Kiddy can move behind a [[Barrel Shield]] to protect themselves from being hit. In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', Minkeys only appear in one level, [[Barrel Shield Bust-Up]], where they are the main enemy and obstacle.

In ''Donkey Kong Land III'', they appear in three levels: [[Minky Mischief]], [[Redwood Rampage]], and [[Simian Shimmy]], slightly more than in ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''.
-In ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', Minkeys are found only in one level called [[Barrel Shield Bust-Up]], which is located in the area [[Kremwood Forest]]. Minkeys attack [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] by hurling an acorn at them from their perch in a tree; they then proceed to duck back into their perch and pop back out to throw another acorn. Dixie or Kiddy can either dodge these thrown nuts or use a [[Barrel Shield]] to protect themselves.
-In ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', Minkeys are slightly more common, being found in the three levels, [[Minky Mischief]], [[Redwood Rampage]] and [[Simian Shimmy]].
-In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake of ''Donkey Kong Country 3'' Minkeys are also found in the level, [[Sunken Spruce]], which is located in the area [[Pacifica]], a world exclusive to the remake.
