In ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', Lemguins are encountered in one [[level]] in the game, the aptly named [[Lemguin Lunge]]. In this level, which is located in the area [[K3]], [[Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] had to dodge barrages of Lemguins as they leaped from their holes and slid on their bellies, attempting to collide with the [[Kong]]s. A Lemguin could be defeated by simply [[jump]]ing on it.

In ''Donkey Kong Land III'', Lemguins are found in two levels, [[Polar Pitfalls]] in the area [[Primate Plains]] and [[Tundra Blunda]] in the area [[Blackforest Plateau]]. Here the attack patterns of Lemguins remain the same; they can also be beaten by the Kongs in the same manner, by being jumped on.

History[edit]

Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble![edit]

Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong jumping between Lemguins during the level, Lemguin Lunge, in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!
The Kongs encounter a couple of Lemguins in Lemguin Lunge

In Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, Lemguins only appear in one level, Lemguin Lunge, where they are the titular feature. Various parts of the level feature an indefinite number of Lemguins jumping out from holes in the snow and sliding on their bellies, attempting to hit Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong, similarly to how Bazzas and Swoopies spawn indefinitely. A Lemguin can be defeated either from being jumped on or by taking a hit from a Cartwheel Attack or a barrel. The Kongs cannot defeat Lemguin by rolling into it from the front, as this harms them. In Dixie Kong's Photo Album, Lemguins are classified under the "Terrorfirma Tuff Guys" enemy class. In the Game Boy Advance remake, Lemguins jump straight upward before sliding on their belly.

Donkey Kong Land III[edit]

The second and only other game appearance of Lemguins is in Donkey Kong Land III, where they only appear in two levels: Polar Pitfalls and Tundra Blunda. They behave no differently than in the previous game. In the Game Boy Color port, Lemguins have purple-colored sprites.
