A '''Cat O' 9 Tails''' (also stylized '''Cat o' 9 tails''', '''Cat-O´-9-Tails''',<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' SNES instruction booklet, page 31.</ref><ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2'' GBA instruction booklet, page 24.</ref> '''Cat-O’-Nine-Tails''',<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 79, page 24.</ref> and '''Cat {{'}}O{{'}} Nine Tails'''<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (Australia) issue 36, page 20.</ref>) is a rare type of enemy appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Its name is derived from a type of whip (mentioned in-game by [[Klubba]]) known as the "{{wp|cat o' nine tails}}", possibly also deriving from the well-known saying of cats having "nine lives." They initially appear sitting in place, licking one of their paws. If a Cat O' 9 Tails notices [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]], it begins to rapidly twirl and move around, attempting to whip both [[Kong]]s with its many tails. Being hit head-on will usually damage the Kongs, but by jumping into one, they may instead end up caught in the tails. If the Kongs are caught by one of the tails as they are spinning around, the Cat O' 9 Tails flings them upwards. Though this can allow the Kongs to collect out-of-reach items, this can also put them in danger of flying into certain hazards. Cat O' 9 Tails are invulnerable to attack while they spin around, but after several seconds of spinning, a Cat O' 9 Tails becomes dizzy, giving the Kongs a chance to defeat it by either [[jump]]ing on or rolling into it. Cat O' 9 Tails only appear in three levels: [[Mudhole Marsh (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Mudhole Marsh]], [[Screech's Sprint (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Screech's Sprint]], and [[Fiery Furnace (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Fiery Furnace]]. They are one of the few enemies from ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' that do not return in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. | |||
