Popgun

The Peanut Popguns are an item in Donkey Kong 64. Diddy Kong can buy them from Funky Kong. Their appearence is that of two small pistols made of bamboo. They are used, among other things, to shoot enemies, Peanut Switches, and Banana Balloons. In the level Fungi Forest, homing ammo can be aquired for the popguns. He also can use these guns while using his jetpack.

The Peanut Popgun will be appearing in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, as an attack for Diddy Kong. It will be Diddy Kong's standard special move, and can be charged up. When charged up, it will be much faster, and will have a better chance at hitting the opponents. However, charging it up too long is dangerous, as it might explode on Diddy Kong. The attack occasionally releases Peanut's, which can be eaten for a slight health increase.

Trivia

 * In beta screenshots of Donkey Kong 64, the Peanut Popguns originally looked like real guns.
