The [[Kong]]s cannot perform a [[Corkscrew (Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze)|Corkscrew]] attack on a swollen Pufftup, as they risk getting damaged by the enemy's spikes. Upon getting stung by the spikes, the Kongs lose a single [[heart]] from their health meter, bringing them closer to losing a life. During this inflated state, Pufftups are only vulnerable to [[Cranky Kong|Cranky]]'s cane swipe, which defeats them. | ||
