Obviously, keeping it basic is just for the purposes of a quick overview, they don't want to school newcomers with potentially overwhelming or confusing info right away. Let's at least wait until the remake's out or more promotional material supports it, that won't be long now.)

Monchees in the Remake

Monchee[1] are Monkikki toys that appear in Mario vs. Donkey Kong. 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. 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 cost Mario a life. There is also a more robotic-looking version that moves at a faster pace called Robokikki.
