Re-Koil

Re-Koils (Rekoils in Donkey Kong Land III) are members of the Kremling Krew, and are common enemies in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, along with Donkey Kong Land III. Re-Koils are orange Kremlings with yellow bellies and wear no form of clothing.

Re-Koils usually try to attack the Kongs by bouncing on their tails and trying to land on them, although some Re-Koils will only bounce up and down in one spot. Since defeating them with a jump requires a good timing, it is actually easier to attack them with a cartwheel when they land on the ground. Re-Koils replace the jumping Kritters from Donkey Kong Country and the Kaboings from Donkey Kong Country 2. According to the game's credits, Re-Koils belong to the "Kremling Kreeps" enemy class.

Trivia

 * Re-Koils were originally the only Kremlings with claws on their fingers.
 * Re-Koils may have been inspired by Tigger, from the Winnie the Pooh franchise, as both of them use their tail as a spring. However, Re-Koils lack stripes.
 * Re-Koils were originally going to appear in Donkey Kong 64, as they have an unused model.
