Animal Friends, also known as The Good Guys,[1] Animal Buddies,[2] or First Class Friends,[3] is a term relating to friendly creatures that aid Donkey Kong and his friends and family on their various adventures. Animal Friends help the Kongs by defeating enemies, finding items, and reaching Bonus Levels. Animal Friends first appeared in the game Donkey Kong Country and have appeared in most subsequent Donkey Kong franchise games. There is also a separate yet similar group of allies known as Jungle Buddies.[4]
When an Animal Friend is injured by an enemy or obstacle, it runs away, just like Yoshis in the Super Mario series. The Kongs can continue riding the Animal Buddy when they jump back on it.

Trivia
- A concept artwork in Donkey Kong Country Returns dubs the elephant, zebra, giraffe, and squirrel species of Donkey Kong Island "Animal Friends";[5] however, unlike the Animal Friends of previous installments, these animals only have a background role in the game due to being hypnotized into stealing the Banana Hoard by the Tiki Tak Tribe, and are not helpers of Donkey Kong.
- Donkey Kong Land was originally going to introduce another Animal Friend, a ram named Ram Bunkshus.
