In ''Donkey Kong Country'', Expresso only appears in a few of the later levels, including [[Temple Tempest]], [[Orang-utan Gang]], [[Ice Age Alley]], and lastly [[Misty Mine]]. He cannot defeat enemies by jumping on them, and attempting it even harms him. Expresso is unaffected by [[Klaptrap]]s, which pass through his long legs. Expresso's main ability is gliding distances while flapping his wings. Like the other Animal Friends, Expresso has his own bonus stage (named Expresso Bonus! in the [[Game Boy Advance]] version), and the Kongs can enter it by obtaining three [[animal token|Expresso Token]]s. The bonus stage is set in a jungle-themed area, and like other Animal Friend stages, Expresso must collect as many [[mini Animal Token|mini Expresso Token]]s within the time limit in exchange for [[extra life|extra lives]]. The sound effect of when Expresso hits an enemy is identical to the one of a [[Mini-Necky]] being defeated. | In his debut appearance, ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', Expresso only appears in a few of the later levels, including [[Temple Tempest]], [[Orang-utan Gang]], [[Ice Age Alley]], and lastly [[Misty Mine]].
