Bristles
From the Super Mario Wiki
This article is about the enemy from Donkey Kong Country 3. For information about the enemy from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, see Bristle.
A Bristles is an enemy in the game Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble. These small hedgehogs replace Spinies from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. They are mostly found in waterfall levels (such as Tracker Barrel Trek) and jungle levels (such as Konveyor Rope Klash). Since they are porcupines, their quills are deadly, and obviously they cannot be jumped on.
To defeat one, Dixie Kong or Kiddy Kong must make an attack on the front while one of the baddies is walking about, as the rear and top are very prickly. Also, unlike the Spinies, Bristles are actually immune to the Kongs' team up attacks since throwing Dixie or Kiddy at one with just get him/her injured.
Some Bristles can also roll up and hurtle toward a Kong, which makes them totally invincible and even more dangerous. Fortunately, they only used that attack method in Konveyor Rope Klash.
[edit] Trivia
- According to the game's credits, Bristles belong to the "Terrorfirma Tuff Guys" enemy class.
