Donkey Kong Country
Enguarde appeared as Donkey and Diddy's Animal Friend in the third part of Club Nintendo's comic "Donkey Kong Country". Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong ride him through a body of water, while being attacked by several underwater enemies. An exploding TNT Barrel pushes them out of the water and onto King K. Rool's ship Gangplank Galleon, after which Enguarde does not appear again.
Super Mario-Kun
Enguarde appears in issue 14 of Super Mario-Kun. After Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong ride on a fake Enguarde, Mario and Yoshi find a box that contains Enguarde. They meet Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong in ropes. Before Mario can do anything, he gets attacked by a Croctopus. Enguarde saves him, but a Clambo breaks his nose. Mario responds by attaching a drill to his nose. Enguarde then plows through the Croctopus, breaking its arms.

Names in other languages
Trivia
- Enguarde gets his name from the French phrase used in swordfencing: "En garde"("on guard", "put your guard up", ie: "be ready"), due presumably to his long, pointed, sword-like nose.
- While Enguarde is presumably one character, two can be seen on-screen in the Donkey Kong Country level "Coral Capers".
- Early screenshots of the canceled game, Donkey Kong Racing, showed that Enguarde was going to be one of the many ridable Animal Friends. These screenshots also showed that other, differently colored swordfish were going to be rideable; whether these swordfish were simply color swapped Enguardes or entirely new characters is unknown.
