'''Toothberries'''<ref>Knight, Michael. ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' Prima Official Game Guide. Page 26.</ref> are blue furball-like enemies that appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and its [[Nintendo 3DS]] remake, ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]''. Their name is a portmanteau of tooth, referring to their razor-sharp teeth and means of attack, and berry, as their color scheme matches that of common berries.


'''Toothberries''' are small, round creatures that appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''. These foes appear in very few levels, but are most prominent in the level [[Itty Bitty Biters]].
Toothberries attack the [[Kong]]s by jumping at them and then biting with their sharp fangs. They make a growling noise similar to that of a puppy. [[Donkey Kong]] can defeat a Toothberry by [[jump]]ing onto it. Toothberries make their first and most notable appearance in the level [[Itty Bitty Biters]], where countless of them appear out from the walls, statues, and floors. They also appear in [[Clingy Swingy]].


They attack by jumping up and biting the Kongs. In Itty Bitty Bitters, they come out of walls, statues and floors too. There are two kinds of Toothberries: blue and red. The difference is that the reds are more aggressive than the blues, and jump higher. Another version, called [[Cageberries]], are trapped in cages. The name "Toothberry" comes from "tooth" (as they bite the Kongs) and "berry" (because they are small and the colors of common berries).
Toothberries have a red variation, [[Ack]]s, which are more aggressive, have a higher jump, and take two hits to defeat. Toothberries have two other variants, [[AckStack]]s and [[Cageberry|Cageberries]]. AckStacks are yellow variations of Toothberries that appear in groups of five, and are stacked on top of each other like a pillar. If the [[Kong]]s force them to attack, they dive down to the ground and become vulnerable to jump attacks. Cageberries are simply Toothberries that are trapped in a cage.
