'''Acks''' are insect-like enemies that appear in the [[Wii]] game ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''. They, along with [[Cageberry|Cageberries]] and [[Toothcherry|Toothcherries]], are sub-species of [[Toothberry|Toothberries]]. They are yellow enemies with fangs. Acks are found in groups of five, and each one of them are piled on top of each other, trying to harm the [[Kong]]s.

Their stack is known as the "'''Ackstack'''". If [[Donkey Kong]] gets too close to them, they will fall with their mouths open, attempting to defeat him. However, if Donkey Kong jumps back, dodging the monsters, they will land separate from each other. When single, Acks are vulnerable to jump attacks. On a side note, the [[Kong Roll]] has no effect against the Ackstack, but the Kongs won't get injured for attempting this maneuver.

AckStacks[1] are enemies in Donkey Kong Country Returns and its port. They are a group consisting of five yellow Acks that stand atop each other like a tower. If Donkey Kong and Diddy get too close to an AckStack, the Acks lean back and fall with their mouths open. Sometimes, AckStacks take up a large amount of space when collapsing and may knock the Kongs into an abyss. Donkey Kong can dodge an AckStack by jumping back, which causes every Ack to land separately, with their fangs stuck in the floor. These Acks are vulnerable to jump attacks. Unlike normal Acks, the Kongs can defeat them with a single hit. The Kong Roll is ineffective against AckStacks, but attempting it does not damage them.
