'''Ghosts'''<ref>''DK: Jungle Climber'', [[Cranky Kong]]'s dialogue in [[Spooky Woods]]: "''Boy, everywhere you look, it's ghosts, ghosts, and more ghosts! Listen up, because you'll want to know how to fend 'em off. Jeepers creepers, better cast yer peepers on the top screen! All you have to do is stop moving and stay totally motionless. If you stay still, the ghosts turn transparent, and they can't hurt you. When you're walking, just stop where you are. When you're on pegs, grab on with both hands and freeze! Remember, when you're in danger, just stay calm and stay still.''"</ref> are enemies that appear in both games of the ''[[DK (series)|DK]]'' series.
'''Powan'''<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n08/bbkj/teki/index.html</ref> is the name given to every [[ghost]] enemy that haunts the [[Ship of Souls]], a level in the [[Aqua World]] from ''[[DK: King of Swing]]''. Powan resemble generic ghosts, with their faces consisting of two big empty eyes and a tiny mouth, followed by a chubby body overall, short hands, and a regular phantom tail; they also have a pointy top on their heads. They also appear in [[Spooky Woods]].
==History==
===''DK: King of Swing''===
[[File:Ghost DKKoS.png|frame]]
Ghosts debut in ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'', appearing in the level [[Ship of Souls]]. They float around a set area until they spot [[Donkey Kong]] or [[Diddy Kong]], at which point they will start approaching them, fading in and out. In their opaque statue, ghosts can damage the [[Kong]]s upon contact, but can also be defeated with a charge. When translucent, they can be safely passed through.


===''DK: Jungle Climber''===
Powan float around a set area, until they detect [[Donkey Kong]]. In this case, they will start approaching him, attempting to hurt him. Not only this, but they also go invisible before intercepting the Kong; in this state, he can easily pass through the Powan without damaging himself. Nevertheless, the ghosts can so easily beguile him, as they become visible again once covering Donkey Kong, and thus they can easily harm him. But in this state, a Powan is vulnerable. To defeat them, the player needs to charge into them.
Ghosts return in ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]'', appearing in the level [[Spooky Woods]]. They are now visible only when Donkey Kong is moving, and stay invisible in every other circumstance. If Donkey Kong is too close to one, it will scare him away without damaging him. If he is motionless, they pass through him.
