In ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and [[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D|its enhanced port]], Screaming Pillars can be encountered throughout the [[Jungle]], [[Ruins]], and [[Volcano]] areas, and are initially seen idle. If the [[Kong]]s approach these pillars, they awake with a scream and collapse onto the ground, potentially crushing any creature standing beneath them, including the Kongs; their feathers also fall off during their sudden awakening. Should a pillar fall onto the Kongs, they lose one heart from their health counter. The Kongs can destroy a Screaming Pillar by [[Ground Pound|pounding]] its feeble head after it fell on the ground. Sometimes, Screaming Pillars might give out precious items, such as [[Banana Coin]]s or even [[Puzzle Piece]]s, after getting destroyed.

Noteworthy is that Screaming Pillars react to the Kongs at different ranges. Some of them only topple if the Kongs are within very close range, such as in [[Wonky Waterway]], while others are able to locate the primates further and then fall, as seen in [[Damp Dungeon]]. A level called [[Five Monkey Trial]] contains several Screaming Pillars which collapse regardless of the Kongs' close presence, and also instantly break upon hitting the ground without the heroes' intervention.
