Coconut Shooter: Difference between revisions

The '''Coconut Shooter''' (also known as the '''Coconut Cannon'''<ref>''Donkey Kong 64'' manual, page 18</ref>, and called the '''Coconut Gun''' in the [[DK Rap]]) is the personal weapon of [[Donkey Kong]] in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. It serves the same general purpose as the other Kongs' weapons.

The Coconut Shooter resembles a hollowed-out log with a twig sticking out of it; the twig is possibly the weapon's crosshair. As the name implies, the Coconut Shooter shoots out [[coconut]]s.

The Coconut Shooter can be purchased at [[Funky's Store]] in [[Jungle Japes]] for three [[Banana Coin]]s. This weapon allows Donkey Kong to shoot [[Banana Balloon]]s, hit [[Target Switch|Coconut Switches]], and snipe enemies from afar. The Coconut Shooter is an essential item because it is required for firing at Coconut Switches, the first time being to free [[Diddy Kong]] from his cage.

By default, the Coconut Shooter's ammo is at half of its maximum capacity. Donkey Kong can replenish the amount from either [[Supply Crate]]s (each provides five coconuts) or by visiting Funky's Store, where [[Funky Kong]] fully reloads the Coconut Shooter.

 

As with the other weapons, the Coconut Shooter has a few upgrades that the Kongs can purchase at Funky's Store. This includes a larger ammo capacity, a sniper scope and homing ammo.

 

Just like the other Kongs' weapons, the player can have Donkey Kong take out his Coconut Shooter by holding {{button|N64|Z}} then pressing {{button|N64|Cleft}}. The player can have Donkey Kong enter first-person view by pressing the {{button|N64|Cup}} button. Like the other weapons, the player must press {{button|N64|B}} to make Donkey Kong fire out ammo.
