In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', a Winky figure appears in background of the [[Monkey Museum]], labeled at a price of five dollars. Cranky also mentioned Winky and Expresso in the instruction manual by saying, "''A more tragic looking bunch of useless no-hopers you'll never see! I liked Expresso and Winky--where have they gone?''". | In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', a Winky figure appears in background of the [[Monkey Museum]], labeled at a price of five dollars.
