Bounty Bass: Difference between revisions

'''Bounty Basses''' are plump, red fish enemies appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. They have a yellow variant named [[Gleamin' Bream]] and are similar to [[Booty Bird]]s in that they usually carry an item within them. Like many other underwater enemies, [[Enguarde the Swordfish|Enguarde]] can defeat a Bounty Bass by stabbing it, causing it to release its item and swim away. A Bounty Bass usually contains a [[banana]] or a [[bear coin]], although it can sometimes hold [[KONG Letters|K-O-N-G Letters]]. In ''Donkey Kong Land III'', none of the Bounty Basses have an item contained in them. Most Bounty Basses remain in one position, but some swim around back and forth, which all Bounty Basses do in ''Donkey Kong Land III''. A photograph of a Bounty Bass appears in [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], in which it is classified under the category of [[Aquatic Attackers]].

In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', Bounty Basses appear mostly in the underwater levels, such as [[Bazza's Blockade]] or [[Floodlit Fish]], but appear also in the cavern stage, [[Pot Hole Panic (Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!)|Pot Hole Panic]]. In ''Donkey Kong Land III'', Bounty Basses are most commonly encountered in the river stages.

In the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]] of ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', the sound effects for when a Bounty Bass is defeated give the impression of it deflating like a balloon, which also applies to Booty Birds.
