Enguarde appears in [[Gloomy Galleon]] in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', and [[Lanky Kong]] can transform into him by entering his [[Animal Crate]]. In this game, Enguarde cannot use his pointy bill to defeat enemies, but he can destroy treasure chests to reveal items hidden inside them. He can also jump out of the water and pass through DK logos suspended in midair, which he needs to do in Gloomy Galleon's shipwreck area three times in order to open up the cave that holds the piles of gold coins. Enguarde also has his own minigame, the Enguarde Arena. It can be unlocked by obtaining 6 [[Banana Fairy|Banana Fairies]] in Adventure mode, and it is accessed through the Mystery menu. In the minigame, Enguarde needs to jump through as many DK logos as he can before time runs out. | Enguarde appears in [[Gloomy Galleon]] in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', and [[Lanky Kong]] can transform into him by entering his [[Animal Crate]].

*Enguarde gets his name from the French phrase used in [[Wikipedia:fencing|fencing]]: "''En garde''" ("on guard", "put your guard up", ie: "be ready"), due presumably to his long, pointed, sword-like nose. | *Enguarde gets his name from the French phrase used in [[Wikipedia:fencing|fencing]]: "''En garde''" ("on guard", "put your guard up", ie: "be ready"), due presumably to his long, pointed, sword-like nose. | ||
*While Enguarde is presumably one character, two can be seen on-screen in the ''Donkey Kong Country'' level "[[Coral Capers]]," although this could be an oversight. | *While Enguarde is presumably one character, two can be seen on-screen in the ''Donkey Kong Country'' level "[[Coral Capers]]," although this could be an oversight. | ||
