Hot Hootz: Difference between revisions

'''Hot Hootzes''' are common enemies that appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' and its Nintendo Switch [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|port]]. Similar to [[Tiki Seeker]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', Hot Hootzes are a derived species of [[Hootz]] that, as their name implies, can engulf themselves in flames at will.

Hot Hootzes are usually stationary and do not fly around in a set pattern like Hootzes or [[Blue Hootz]]es. They attack the [[Kong]]s by releasing a [[fireball]] in their direction. During this, Hot Hootzes engulf themselves in flames, although they lose them after the attack. When engulfed in flames, Hot Hootzes cannot be [[jump]]ed on or [[Roll Attack|rolled]] into, as this injures the [[Kong]]s. However, when Hot Hootzes lose their flames, it is vulnerable to jump attacks for a short time. Regardless of their status, [[Donkey Kong]] can also defeat Hot Hootzes by throwing a [[barrel]] or another projectile at them.

Being first found in [[Swinger Flinger]], Hot Hootzes continue to appear in levels including [[Crumble Cavern]], [[Sea Stack Attack]], and others.
