History[edit]
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze[edit]
Fish Poker Pops carry a wooden pole with a pufferfish on each side. The horns on their helmets protect them from jump attacks. Fish Poker Pops use their pole as a weapon, raising it for a moment and then slamming it on the ground. When it lifts its pole, the Fish Poker Pops is vulnerable to a rolling attack. The Kongs can defeat a Fish Poker Pops by rolling into it three times. The enemy can be also be defeated with a barrel or with three of Cranky Kong's Cane Bounces. Additionally, in the Nintendo Switch port, Funky Kong can use his surfboard to attack a Fish Poker Pops. Unlike other Waldoughs which share the same sounds, Fish Poker Pops have a more aggressive tone in their voices.

Wii U Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (02/2014) | These walrus-like foes from Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze have horned helmets and puffer-fish-stick weapons that make it tough to even get close to them. Wait for them to lift their sticks, and then use rolling attacks. After three of those, they'll go down. Alternatively, use Cranky Kong's Cane Bounce to bash them in the head. |
