'''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]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. Re-Koils are orange [[Kremling]]s with yellow bellies and wear no form of clothing. They always seem to have a stupid grin on their face and are sometimes seen with their tongue hanging out; also, their eyes perpetually stare in different directions, which may imply that they suffer from divergent strabismus. Re-Koils usually try to attack the [[Kong]]s 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 [[Kritter]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and the [[Kaboing]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2]]''. According to the game's credits, Re-Koils belong to the "[[Kremling Kreeps]]" enemy class.
'''Re-Koils''' are orange [[Kremling]]s with a springy tail. Re-Koils always stick their tongue out and have their eyes point in opposite directions. Re-Koils have four fingers and three toes, and they are one of the few Kremlings with claws on their hands. They have a yellow belly, and the front of their tail is also yellow. Re-Koils first appear as enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and return in ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. They are the successors to jumping [[Kritter]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and [[Kaboing]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''.  


==Levels==
==History==
Re-Koils appear in the following levels.
===''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''===
===''Donkey Kong Country 3''===
In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', Re-Koils continuously bounce on their tail. They usually bounce either in one spot or back and forth, though starting in [[Krack Shot Kroc]], some bounce continuously in one direction. Some Re-Koils bounce on their tail without getting off the ground. If a Re-Koil lands on [[Dixie Kong]] or [[Kiddy Kong]], that [[Kong]] gets injured. The Kongs can defeat a Re-Koil by either [[Roll Attack|roll]]ing into it just before it lands, jumping onto it, or hitting the Re-Koil with a [[barrel]]. Re-Koils give the same sound effect from being defeated as [[Krook]]s, [[Klinger]]s, and [[Kloak]]s, although not in the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]]. Due to their high-bouncing ability, the Kongs can sometimes use Re-Koils to reach higher areas or out-of-reach items. A photograph of a Re-Koil appears in [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], in which it is classified as part of the [[Kremling Kreeps]].

*Re-Koils are the only Kremlings with claws on their fingers.
*Re-Koils may have been inspired by [[wikipedia:Tigger|Tigger]] from the ''[[Wikipedia:Winnie-the-Pooh|Winnie-the-Pooh]]'' franchise, as both are orange and use their tail for a spring.
