Parry (character)

Parry the Parallel Bird is one of the Kong's many Animal Buddies. He only appears in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!. Unlike the other animal buddies, Parry cannot be riden, but stays perfectly parallel to Kiddy and Dixie Kong's moves, hence the name. Parry can grab any item he hits, making him a wonderful tool and ally. Also, if he gets to the No Animal Sign, the Kongs will usually get a large reward such as a Bonus Barrel or a blue Life Balloon.

Getting Parry to the No Animal Sign can be difficult, as contact with any enemy (mostly Buzzes) will instantly defeat him. However, Parry can easily defeat any Booty Birds in his path without getting hurt. Parry appears in Squeals on Wheels, Rocket Barrel Ride, Barrel Drop Bounce, Ropey Rumpus, and Stampede Sprint.
