Karbines are small owl-like creatures that are encountered in the game Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble and Donkey Kong Land 3.

Karbines are the main obstacles in the level "Fire-Ball Frenzy" in the area Mekanos, this is also the only level they are found in. Karbines do not attack Dixie or Kiddy Kong directly, instead they rely on large cannons they carry which shoot large fireballs at the Kongs. Karbines can not be defeated in any way, they can only be avoided.

In Donkey Kong Land 3, Karbine appears in Karbine Kaos, Bazuka Bombard, Kuchuka Karnage, and Barrel Boulevard.

In the Game Boy Advance remake, some of the attacks of Karbines are made more difficult to avoid, such as the place where 3 Kurbines shoot at least a tenth of a second after the first, has been harder and less time was added to escape.

Trivia

  • According to the game's credits, Karbines belong to the "Flying Fiends" enemy class.
  • It is unknown if Karbines have any affiliation with the Kremling Krew; though it is possible they do as they wield cannons similar to the ones the Kremling Krew soldiers Bazukas do.
  • Karbines have a small resemblance to Pidgits, owl-like enemies from the Mario series of games.
