==List of objects that can be blown onto== | ==List of objects that can be blown onto== | ||
There is a multitude of objects that are affected by Donkey Kong's breath. Many of these objects reveal various items, such as [[banana]]s, [[Banana Coin]]s, and even [[Puzzle Piece (Donkey Kong Country series)|Puzzle Pieces]], while other cause something to occur upon getting blown onto. Blowable objects also serve the purpose of world building and decoration, and their role is similar to that of item [[container]]s. | |||

*Objects that, when blown onto, pluck themselves out of the ground and fly away with an item using their propeller-like appendages. Before taking to the skies, they hover above the ground and offer the Kongs a chance to grab the item they carry. Most of these objects resemble flowers with short stems and long petals, which are red in the [[Jungle (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Jungle]] and [[Forest (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Forest]], and dark purple on the [[Cliff]]. However, magnets with propellers replace them in the [[Factory (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Factory]], as do chili peppers with large leaves in the [[Volcano]]. | |||
*'''Windmills'''<ref>{{ref quote|Drop onto a lower platform at the end and blow on a '''windmill''' to raise a platform in the background|Michael Knight|Donkey Kong Country Returns [[Prima Games|Prima]] Official Game Guide. Page 67}}</ref> — broad objects with multiple red and white blades that spin around when blown onto. They act as switches and the Kongs need a blow onto them for several moments to take effect. They often cause multiple bananas to drop from a place, or cause platforms to rise above the ground. | |||
