+'''Punchy Paddies'''<ref>von Esmarch, Nick, and Cory van Grier. ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 14.</ref> are grasshopper-like enemies which appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' and its Nintendo Switch [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|port]]. They have small wings, wear a characteristic collar around their neck, and display a grouchy or irritated expression. Punchy Paddies most often appear in the [[Lost Mangroves]] levels.
-'''Punchy Paddies''' are grasshopper enemies appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''.
+Punchy Paddies act similar to [[Frogoon]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', where they remain in a single spot and [[jump]]. Instead of inflating themselves, Punchy Paddies use their wings to temporarily stay airborne before they slowly descend back down. While doing so, they seem to angrily beckon at the [[Kong]]s, marking their "punchy" behavior. This is further shown by them clenching their two frontal legs into fists. The Kongs can defeat a Punchy Paddy by either [[jump]]ing on it, [[Roll Attack|roll]]ing into it, or by throwing an object (such as a [[DK Barrel]]) at them. If the Kongs get in contact with a Punchy Paddy, they become injured and lose a [[heart (item)|heart]].
-Punchy Paddies attack by flying up and down and can be defeated by jumping on them. However, a good strategy to employ if the player wants to get to a high ledge is wait until the Punchy Paddy rises upwards, and then jump on them, gaining a height boost.

+In [[Shipwreck Shore]], a group of three Punchy Paddies hop on small wooden crates that float on a body of water. If these crates are destroyed with a [[Corkscrew (Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze)|Corkscrew]] from underneath, the Punchy Paddies fall in the water and are defeated. Several Punchy Paddies in [[Busted Bayou]] move down a path by hopping as opposed to being stationary, similar to the [[Hopgoon]]s from ''Donkey Kong Country Returns''.
