'''Re-Koils''' are orange [[Kremling]]s with a springy tail. They are weak members of the [[Kremling Krew]] and common enemies that appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. They are the successor to jumping [[Kritter]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and [[Kaboing]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. | |||
Re-Koils always stick their tongue out and have their eyes point in opposite directions. Re-Koils have four fingers and three toes, and they are one of the few Kremlings with claws on their hands. They have a yellow belly, and the front of their tail is also yellow. | |||
==History== | |||
===''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''=== | |||
In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', Re-Koils continuously bounce on their tail, either in one spot or back and forth. Some Re-Koils bounce on their tail without getting off the ground. If a Re-Koil lands on [[Dixie Kong]] or [[Kiddy Kong]], that [[Kong]] gets injured. The Kongs can defeat a Re-Koil by either [[Roll Attack|roll]]ing into it just before it lands, jumping onto it, or hitting the Re-Koil with a [[barrel]]. Due to their high-bouncing ability, the Kongs can sometimes use Re-Koils to reach higher areas or out-of-reach items. | |||
In [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], a photograph of a Re-Koil appears under the "[[Kremling Kreeps]]" category. | |||
Re-Koils appear in eight levels, most of which take place in a mountain or inside a mill: | |||

*Re-Koils may have been inspired by [[wikipedia:Tigger|Tigger]] from the ''[[Wikipedia:Winnie-the-Pooh|Winnie-the-Pooh]]'', as both are orange and use their tail for a spring. | |||
