'''Archies''' are enemies appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' and its Nintendo Switch [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|port]]. They are [[penguin]] soldiers of the [[Snowmads|Snowmad]] army, each equipped with a bow and carrying a quiver full of fish on their back. Much like their [[Tucks]] relatives, they are stout and display navy-blue coloration. They also bear puffy wristbands fastened with leather shreds on their flippers, as well as hair knots on top of their heads.
'''Archie'''s are avian enemies appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''. They are [[penguin]]-like soldiers of the [[Snowmad]] army, each equipped with a bow and carrying a quiver full of fish on their back.

==Appearance==
Archies walk back and forth, keeping their look focused on the [[Kong]]s. After a short while, they start shooting three consecutive fish from their quiver, using their bows as if they were shooting arrows. When in mid-air, the fish travel in a straight line and at a constant speed, destroying themselves once they crash into a wall or reach a certain distance. The Kongs lose a heart from their health bar if hit by these fish projectiles. However, they can be stomped on and, occasionally, used to traverse pits or spiked floor. Archies themselves can be defeated by any attack method (e.g. [[stomp]]ing, [[Roll Attack|roll attacks]], tossed [[barrel]]s).
Archies resemble navy blue-colored pudgy penguins with slightly bulging round eyes, skimming the end of a thick beak. They bear puffy wristbands fastened with leather shreds on their flippers, and display hair knots on top of their heads. They are slightly hunched and normally appear to hold on their own, hence their predatory attitude and fixed position during movement.


Archy fish projectiles redeem the role of [[Squidly]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' as slender, arrowy, and horizontally positioned enemies that are shot by a malicious creature.
==Behavior and combat==
Archies attack by shooting their long and pointy fish using their bows, in the manner of one shooting arrows. They project three such fish in a row before walking back and forth, keeping their look focused in the direction they are currently facing. When in mid-air, the fish travel in a straight line and at a constant velocity, despawning into clouds of dust whenever they crash into a wall. The [[Kong]]s lose a heart from their health bar, had the fish projectiles pounce them. These, however, can be stomped on and, occasionally, used as objects of traversal above pits and spiked floor. Upon getting stomped, the fish projectiles disappear; so do the armed penguins after undergoing the same move from the primate heroes. In effect, Archies can be defeated by any attack method (e.g. [[Roll Attack|roll attacks]], tossed [[barrel]]s).


[[Archy (fire)|Archies (fire)]], a red variety of Archies, also exist, which use fishbones engulfed in flames instead of carnal fish.

==Names in other languages==
[[Archy (fire)|Other members]] of the Snowmad army share the same name as Archies. They also bear the same costumation, attitude, behavior, and weaponry, but display a red coloration. Instead of shooting carnal fish, they use fishbones engulfed in flames, which cannot be stomped on.
