Expresso
Expresso the Ostrich is a large sneakers wearing ostrich and friend of the Kongs.
Expresso's first appeared in the game Donkey Kong Country as one of the game's four Animal Buddies. Expresso can run at fast speeds and glide through the air by flapping his wings rapidly. Interestingly Expresso has no offensive capabilities at all meaning he has no way to defend himself against threats; though some small enemies may pass under Expresso's legs leaving Expresso unharmed.
Expresso reappers in Donkey Kong Country's semi-sequel Donkey Kong Land as one of the games two Animal Buddies (the other buddy being Rambi the Rhino). In this game Expresso's abilities remain relatively the same as before.
Aside from Donkey Kong Country's various remakes Expresso has yet to reappear, though an identical ostrich, also known as Expresso (or Expresso II to some) appears in the GameBoy Advance version of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest.
Though Expresso, along with several other ostriches appear in the trailer for the apparently cancelled game Donkey Kong Racing it is unknown if Expresso was going to be a rideable character.
Trivia
Interestingly Expresso wears the same orange and white sneakers as Squitter the Spider.
