 Among other actions [[Donkey Kong]] can perform in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'', he can also '''blow''' air to move or dissipate certain objects, or to extinguish flaming enemies. This can be done by crouching, then shaking the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] or pushing the
 {{button|3ds|X}}/{{button|3ds|Y}} button on the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. [[Diddy Kong]] can also perform this move, but only when he is controlled independently, i.e. in multiplayer. The [[Kong]]s can blow small air currents for as long as the actions above are executed.
+The ability was incorporated into the game at the suggestion of [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], the game's supervisor.<ref>{{ref quote|[[Kensuke Tanabe|Tanabe]]: One new ability for Donkey Kong is the ability to blow out his breath.

 ==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.

Dandelions vary slightly in size and shades, and are widespread throughout [[Donkey Kong Island]], being most common in the [[Jungle (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Jungle]] and [[Ruins]] areas.

 *'''{{Conjectural|Tiki heads}}''' — a burning statuette that will turn to ashes and collapse after getting extinguished, producing an item. Tiki heads mostly appear in [[Furious Fire]].
 *'''{{Conjectural|Candle bowl}}''' — a small candle held in a bowl. Blowing on it will swoosh the flame, potentially causing an item to appear. Candle bowls are spread throughout the [[Volcano]].
+*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.
