'''Helper Monkeys''',<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Wii/NEW-PLAY-CONTROL-Donkey-Kong-Jungle-Beat-282321.html#Characters Nintendo UK ''NEW PLAY CONTROL! Donkey Kong Jungle Beat'' official webpage]</ref> also known simply as '''monkeys''',<ref>[https://www.nintendo.com/consumer/gameslist/manuals/Wii_DK_Jungle_Beat.pdf ''New Play Control! Donkey Kong Jungle Beat'' instruction booklet], page 4.</ref> are [[Kong]]-like characters found in ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]''. They demonstrate what to do in various situations and help tally up his [[banana]]s at the [[Sacred Tree]] found at the end of every level. Often, they are shown playing instruments, dancing, or clapping. They are predominately found in the stretch of the jungle referred to as the [[Opening Ceremony]], but they appear throughout the game. Aside from telling Donkey Kong what to do, the Helper Monkeys also assist him in getting to hard to reach places. Often, a green bush that is floating in the air will have a Helper Monkey in it; once Donkey Kong stands close to the bush and the player claps, the Monkey inside grabs Donkey Kong and throws him up to the higher area. A rare variation of this only found in the [[Clock Tower]] follows Donkey Kong up along a straight rope to fling him in a [[Wall Jump]]-esque manner. Occasionally, Helper Monkeys will hold on to each other and form a rope, which Donkey Kong can swing across on.

In ''[[New Play Control!|New Play Control! Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'', some in orange shrubs with signs can be talked to, and they tell [[Donkey Kong]] tips. Additionally, '''Checkpoint Monkeys'''<ref>''New Play Control! Donkey Kong Jungle Beat'' instruction booklet. [https://www.nintendo.com/consumer/gameslist/manuals/Wii_DK_Jungle_Beat.pdf Page 11].</ref> in blue shrubs act as checkpoints. Some background ones now swing [[Wii Remote]]s instead of clapping.

A Helper Monkey also appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as a [[sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]] (labeled '''Party Monkey'''), and it boosts the strength of head attacks by six and it can only be used by Donkey Kong and [[Diddy Kong]]. A [[list of Super Smash Bros. Brawl pre-release and unused content|scrapped]] [[trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] of a Helper Monkey can be found in the game files for ''Brawl''. An [[list of Super Mario Galaxy pre-release and unused content|unused]] model of a Helper Monkey appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''{{'}}s files.

In a [[list of pre-release and unused content in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat|pre-release build]] of ''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat'', Helper Monkeys resembled smaller versions of Donkey Kong, and by extension resembled [[Donkey Kong Jr.]]
