With Winky, the Kongs can reach collectibles and even a [[Bonus Barrel]]. Winky's Walkway is the shortest level in the game, and is about half the length of other levels. The level is an odd series of walkways, riddled with [[Kritter]]s, [[Gnawty]]s, and some [[Necky]]s. The level was made longer in the [[Game Boy Color]] version.

|The second level of Monkey Mines and the first [[Mine Cart]] level. It involves Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong riding an unstoppable Mine Cart on numerous rail segments. There are tipped over Mine Carts lying on the tracks, and the Kongs must jump over them to avoid hitting into them. [[Krash]]es are the only enemies in the level. At the start, the Kongs can enter a warp to skip the entire level: to do so, they must jump over the [[Blast Barrel]] at the start, and move left against the wall to land into the [[Warp Barrel]]. The warp does not appear in the Game Boy Color version.

|The third level of Monkey Mines is the only cavern-themed level. As its name suggests, Bouncy Bonanza features a lot of bouncing. There are many bouncing [[tire]]s that the Kongs can bounce on, mostly to reach higher areas. Many bouncing Kritters and [[Zinger]]s also get in the Kongs' way. Halfway into the level, the Kongs can optionally enter a room to find Winky and utilize his high-jumping ability.

When they jump at a Stop and Go Barrel, it changes to "STOP", causing the Rock Krocs stop moving. After a few seconds, the barrels revert to "GO" which allows the Rock Krocs resume with moving.

Monkey Mines
The world map of Monkey Mines from Donkey Kong Country on Game Boy Advance.
World map in the second remake
Game Donkey Kong Country
Level(s) 5
<< List of worlds >>

Monkey Mines (simply known as Mines in the television series) is the second world of Donkey Kong Country. It has five levels, most of which take place in a subterranean setting. On Donkey Kong Island, Monkey Mines is located at the foot of the hill leading to next world, Vine Valley. Winky is the only Animal Friend who appears in the world. Master Necky is the boss fought at the end. The Ruins world from Donkey Kong Country Returns is thematically similar and has been suggested to be the same location.[1]

In the cartoon, this area is closely connected to King K. Rool and his minions' base. The area is alluded to in the Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle Donkey Kong Adventure story expansion, where it is mentioned in the description of Rabbid Cranky's Croaker Disposer. Since this weapon takes its design after Winky the Frog, the description references how the Animal Buddy first appears in this world in Donkey Kong Country.
