Prospector Monkeys are a group of spider monkeys that appear in Donkey Kong Bananza . They wear mining helmets and overalls and often carry a pickaxe. After a rumor spreads about a material known as Banandium appearing on Ingot Isle, a crew of Prospector Monkeys along with Donkey Kong go to explore the island's mines to search for it, but are eventually sent to the depths when Void Company arrives and steals all the Banandium Gems.

A group of Prospector Monkeys who have befriended Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong appear in the Racing Layer. They help take care of the Rambis that traveled from DK Island, and constructed the race track used for the Rambi Rumble with debris from Ingot Isle.
