Arakawa. ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble'' Player's Guide. Page 15.</ref> is a crate that contains an [[Animal Friend]]. They first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and have since recurred throughout the ''[[Donkey Kong (series)|Donkey Kong]]'' franchise. The contained Animal Friend is identifiable from its depicted silhouette on the animal crate. The Kongs can usually break one open by jumping on it, therefore freeing the Animal Friend, and ride on it until the end of a level. | ||
Animal crates have a similar counterpart, the [[Animal Barrel]]. Instead of freeing an Animal Friend, these Barrels transform the [[Kong]]s into the one depicted on it. Animal crates are usually placed in areas where an Animal Friend comes in useful. For example, freeing Enguarde from his crate makes underwater levels easier for the Kongs because Enguarde can defeat most underwater enemies. Similarly, Animal Barrels are usually placed where the Kongs are required to their pictured Animal Friend, for instance [[Rattly]] in [[Rattle Battle (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Rattle Battle]], because of his high jumping ability. | |||

In ''Donkey Kong Country'', all five Animal Friends had their own animal crate, including [[Squawks]]. Animal crates made a second appearance in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'', where they retained their functionality. The game only has two Animal Friends, both of whom have their own crate: [[Rambi]] and [[Expresso]]. | In ''Donkey Kong Country'', all five Animal Friends had their own animal crate, including [[Squawks]].

Rambi Crates, also known as '''Rambi the Rhinoceros Boxes'''<ref>von Esmarch, Nick, and Cory van Grier. ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 22.</ref>, are also in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', where they appear smaller than in ''Returns''. The Kongs can no longer open Rambi Crates by rolling into them, and therefore can only open them by Ground Pounding from atop. | Rambi Crates, also known as '''Rambi the Rhinoceros Boxes'''<ref>von Esmarch, Nick, and Cory van Grier.
