In ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'', the playable characters can '''blow''' air to move or dissipate certain objects, or to extinguish flaming enemies. [[Donkey Kong]] or [[Diddy Kong]] can blow air by having the player repeatedly shake the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] or push the {{button|3ds|X}}/{{button|3ds|Y}} button on the [[Nintendo 3DS]] while the character is crouching. Diddy Kong is only able to perform this action when he is controlled independently in multiplayer. The move does not appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', being replaced with the ability to pluck items from the ground. | In ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'', the playable characters can '''blow''' air to move or dissipate certain objects, or to extinguish flaming enemies.
