'''Koins''' are a type of [[Kremling]] that appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. Koins wear a bucket on their head and carry around a trash can lid as a shield, and a [[DK Coin]] is attached to it. Their name is a pun on "coin". By defeating the Koin, [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] can acquire its DK Coin. To defeat a Koin, the [[Kong]]s often have to throw a [[Iron Barrel|Steel Barrel]] at the wall behind Koin, causing it to bounce off and roll into Koin from behind.

==History==
'''Koins''' are a type of [[Kremling]] that appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. Koins wear a bucket on their head and carry around a trash can lid with a [[DK Coin]] attached to it as a shield. Their name is a pun on the word coin. By defeating the Koin, [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] can acquire its DK Coin. To defeat a Koin, the [[Kong]]s often have to throw a [[Steel Barrel]] at the wall behind Koin, causing it to bounce off and roll into Koin from behind.
===''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''===
In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', a Koin appears in every level, usually at the end, moving its shield in whichever direction Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong are in. If the Kongs approach a Koin from either the front or try to jump on it, the Koin uses its shield to bounce the Kongs backward. If the Kongs throw a Steel Barrel at the Koin's armor, it bounces off. If the Kongs replay a level where they have collected its DK Coin, the DK Coin no longer appears on the Koin's shield. In certain circumstances, some Koins can only be defeated if a [[Bazuka]] shoots a Steel Barrel at the Koin, in which case the Kongs have to use a [[Switch Barrel]] to change Bazuka's [[Barrel]]s or [[TNT Barrel]]s into Steel Barrels. In a few levels, the Kongs have only a single chance to defeat the Koin, if they can only get a nearby Steel Barrel by crossing a [[No Animal Sign]] with an [[Animal Friend]]. If Dixie and Kiddy are unsuccessful, they have to restart the level for another chance at defeating the Koin. In [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], a Koin is categorized with the other [[Kremling]]s as part of the [[Kremling Kreeps]] category.


Koins have a pink variant in the level [[Koindozer Klamber]], named [[Koindozer]]s. Unlike Koins, Koindozers (which cannot be defeated) attempt to defeat the Kongs by pushing them into the pits with their shields.
There is a Koin in every level of ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''. In ''Donkey Kong Land III'', a Koin appears in most levels except the underwater ones, which unlike ''Donkey Kong Country 3''{{'}}s, do not have a cave at the end with the Koin. Instead, the DK Coin itself is hidden somewhere in the level, much like in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''.


Certain levels of the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]] allow for the Kongs to defeat a Koin using a [[TNT Barrel]] instead, such as in [[Surf's Up]], by having the resulting explosion while Koin faces upward, defeating it.
In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', Koins have a pink variant named [[Koindozer]]s, which only appear in the level [[Koindozer Klamber]]. Unlike Koins, the Koindozers attempt to damage the Kongs by pushing them into the pits with their shield.


===''Donkey Kong Land III''===
==Description==
In ''Donkey Kong Land III'', Koins are mostly the same as in ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', except they do not appear in underwater levels, where DK Coins appear by themselves instead. The Kongs automatically obtain a DK Coin from defeating Koin.
If the [[Kong]]s themselves approach a Koin from the front or attempt to jump on Koin, he bounces the Kongs back using his shield. Koin moves his shield in the directions that the Kongs are in. If the Kongs throw a Steel Barrel at Koin's armor, it bounces off. Oftentimes, a Koin appears at the end of a level.


==Profiles and statistics==
Some Koins can only be defeated if a [[Bazuka]] shoots a Steel Barrel at Koin. In such cases, the Kongs often have to use a [[Switch Barrel]] to change Bazuka's TNT Barrels to Steel Barrels. In a few levels, the Kongs only have one chance at defeating Koin, if they can only get a nearby Steel Barrel by crossing a [[No Animal Sign]] with an [[Animal Friend]]. If they fail to defeat Koin with the Steel Barrel, they must restart the entire level for another chance.

*'''Instruction manual:''' ''This defensive baddy will protect the [[DK Coin]] at all costs.''<ref>{{cite|title=''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' instruction manual|page=19|date=1996|publisher=Nintendo of America|author=Nintendo|language=American English}}</ref>
In [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], a Koin is shown under the [[Kremling Kreeps]] category.
 
In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', when the Kongs defeat Koin, they do not immediately obtain the DK Coin; rather, the DK Coin appears in Koin's spot, and the Kongs have go to the DK Coin to collect it. In ''Donkey Kong Land III'' and the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake of ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', the DK Coin is automatically obtained by defeating Koin. Additionally, in the Game Boy Advance remake, the Kongs can defeat a Koin with a regular [[barrel]] or [[TNT Barrel]] in certain levels.
