Krosshair

Krosshair is an unseen assassin who first appeared in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble and then later in Donkey Kong 64.

Description
Krosshair only appears in one level in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble called "Krack Shot Kroc". In this level, an aiming cursor will stalk Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong (who are transformed into Squitter the Spider) and attempts to blast them. Krosshair can be fooled into shooting an enemy in the level.

In Donkey Kong 64, he appears in Angry Aztec. In the area with the Five-Doored temple. Whenever a Kong has obtained a Golden Banana, a target will appear with a menacing voice that yells "Get Out!" and a timer appears above the screen. Krosshair can not be defeated and instead, the Kong needs to evacuate the area within the amounted time. If a Kong fails to exit the temple on time, Krosshair will blast the Kong and either lose health or get defeated. In Crystal Caves and Creepy Castle, Krosshair reappears in certain areas (such as cabins, igloos, garden houses) but only if a Kong fails at a timed mission or, in Chunky Kong's case, gets caught by searchlights to obtain the Golden Banana. Depending on the area, the Kong will "unfairly" have a second to exit the area or he/she gets blasted by Krosshair.

Trivia

 * Krosshair's name is a pun on a "crosshair", which is used for aiming weapons, such as the one Krosshair fires, and given the fact the only part of Krosshair seen in-game is his weapon's crosshairs.
