Squiddicus: Difference between revisions

==Attacks==

For the majority of [[Stormy Shore]], Squiddicus only appears in the level's background, where it is seen destroying a ship. Near the end of the level, Squiddicus will attack the [[Kong]]s by blocking the way with its arms, which will cause them to lose a heart on contact. [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] can avoid the arms by jumping over them, and must jump between sides when in the [[Climbing Grass]] segment. Squiddicus will also use its arms to break certain platforms after a length of time. In this game, Squiddicus cannot be defeated by any means. Upon reaching the end of the level, if the Kongs do not launch from the barrel to the [[Slot Machine Barrel]], Squiddicus will raise one of its arms into the air, threatening to crush the [[Barrel Cannon]] the Kongs are in. If its arm manages to destroy the Barrel Cannon, it will cause the Kongs to lose a [[Extra life|life]].

In ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'', Squiddicus is first and only encountered in the level [[Irate Eight]] in the game's fourth world, [[Sea Breeze Cove]]. It first appears in the area with the [[DK Barrel|Dixie Kong Barrel]], where it uses its arms to tear down part of the cave. Its arms still cause the Kongs one heart of damage on contact. The octopus also produces ink which rises from the bottom of the screen and causes the Kongs to lose a life instantly upon contact. Squiddicus cannot take damage during the first part of the level. At the end of the level, the Kongs must detach and drop hanging land mines to damage Squiddicus by launching them at it, before Squiddicus attacks and causes the Kongs to lose a life. Dropping all three mines onto Squiddicus will eventually defeat it, causing the octopus to disappear under the water and allow the Kongs to get to the [[Slot Machine Barrel]].
