Water Sack
Water Sacks[1] are projectile items appearing in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. They resemble gigantic berries, as one of them is almost the size of one playable character. A Water Sack is plump and indigo-colored, displaying darker spots on the skin, and also sports a tiny receptacle on top of it, fenced with four leaves.
Water Sacks are naturally encountered in stacks, which gameplay-wise form unlimited supplies, so the players are able to subtract from them as many fruit as they need. Every Water Sack contains a decent amount of water, and so it is necessary to put up fire. Water Sacks can be carried along the way and thrown by the Kongs at the players' order; after being thrown, they pop and spread their water burden on the hit target. This can be a small patch of burning grass or dirt, or a burning portion of a vine.
Water Sacks can be utilized as weapons as well. They can be catapulted towards enemies of all sorts, and as they smash into them upon contact, the enemies get defeated. A unique enemy species called Porcupal, whose members engulf themselves in flames in order to keep predators away, can be instantly extinguished and vanquished with a single Water Sack for each member.
On the other hand, in a stage called Rickety Rafters, there are targets which have to be hit with projectiles in order to trigger certain mechanisms. Most commonly, these targets have to be splashed with Water Sacks.
The only island in the game which hosts Water Sacks is the Bright Savannah, where they begin to show up in Scorch 'n' Torch, one of its levels. These items then reappear in subsequent levels of this island.
