History[edit]
Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble![edit]
In Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, Re-Koils continuously bounce on their tail. They usually bounce either in one spot or back and forth, though starting in Krack Shot Kroc, some bounce continuously in one direction. 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 rolling into it just before it lands, jumping onto it, or hitting the Re-Koil with a barrel. Re-Koils give the same sound effect from being defeated as Krooks, Klingers, and Kloaks, although not in the Game Boy Advance version. Due to their high-bouncing ability, the Kongs can sometimes use Re-Koils to reach higher areas or out-of-reach items. A photograph of a Re-Koil appears in Dixie Kong's Photo Album, in which it is classified as part of the Kremling Kreeps.
Re-Koils appear in eight levels, most of which take place in a mountain or inside a mill:
- Murky Mill
