Part 6

Learn about all enemies in Donkey Kong Country, from Tiki pops to Snaggles, and how to defeat them.

Enemies:

• Tiki pop: Exploding tikis that Stu, the boss of the ruins, tosses when desperate. They only appear during this fight.
• Tiki seeker: Tikis found only in the golden temple that briefly appear to fire arrowheads.
• Screaming pillar: Stone idols in the jungle and ruins that slam the ground when Kongs get near. Ground-pounding them may reveal hidden items.
• Awk: Blue, flightless birds found in the jungle that move endlessly in one direction. Defeated with a jump or roll attack.
• Rawk: Red, slightly smarter birds found in the jungle that charge at nearby simians.
• Frogoon: Green, frog-like enemies found mostly in the jungle that jump, hover, and drop. Defeated with a jump or roll.
• Hopgoon: Yellow frogoon subspecies found in the jungle levels that hop forward, making groups harder to manage.
• Chomp: Found mainly in the forest and jungle. Red chomps bite, yellow ones shoot globules, blue ones act as vines, and green ones act as mushroom platforms.
• Mimic: Found only in Sunset Shore. These enemies disguise themselves as normal bushes until a Kong gets too close.
• Snaps: Orange crabs found primarily on the beach and other island locations. Weak and defeated with a roll or jump attack.
• Pinchly: Crabs with striped bandanas found in the same locations as snaps. They protect against roll attacks by keeping pincers at their sides, but become vulnerable to rolls when they nervously raise them after a jump.
• Squid shot: Gizmos stationed on the beach and cliffs that fire squidlies.
• Squidly: Ammo for squid shots that can be used as platforms.
• Electrasquid: Fired by squid shots; jumping on them results in a shock.
• Snaggles: Sharks found on the beaches of Donkey Kong Island. Gray snaggles poke their heads out before jumping, while orange snaggles jump without warning.
• Jellybob: Electric jellyfish found on the beach that can fly and appear in gaps between platforms. Defeated by throwing an item at them.
• Squiddicus: A giant octopus found on the Stormy Shore with damaging spiked tentacles.
• Stilts: Birds found in the ruins that walk on bamboo stilts. One hit causes them to ditch the stilts, making them shorter but faster.
• Toothberry: Furballs found in the ruins and forest. Blue ones take one hit, red ones take two, and yellow ones stack in groups of five and topple over.
• Cageberry: A toothberry locked in a cage. Ground-pounding near one stuns it, allowing the cage to be used as a platform.
• Squeekly: Bat-like enemies abundant in caves, though found all over the island. Common types fly in straight lines.
• Mole miner: Found in caves, these enemies mine crystals and may attack with pickaxes if their territory is intruded upon.
• Buzzbite: Found in the forest and secret stages. These enemies ride on platform sides and should be avoided. They may be on fire, but this does not increase their threat.
• Cling cobra: Snakes found in the forest that travel along climbable surfaces. Avoiding them is the best tactic.
• Skittler: Spiders found in the forest that drop from ceilings. Defeated with a jump or roll attack. Avoid disturbing nests of baby skittlers.
• Bopapodamus: Found in the ruins. These creatures on sticks can be used as launching points. Approaching from the side results in a smack; they fall over after four jumps.
