'''Re-Koils''' are orange [[Kremling]]s with a springy tail. Re-Koils always stick their tongue out and have their eyes point in opposite directions. Re-Koils have four fingers and three toes, and they are one of the few Kremlings with claws on their hands. They have a yellow belly, and the front of their tail is also yellow. Re-Koils first appear as enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and return in ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. They are the successors to jumping [[Kritter]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and [[Kaboing]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. 

==History==
===''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''===
In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', Re-Koils continuously bounce on their tail. They usually bounce either in one spot or back and forth, though starting in [[Krack Shot Kroc]], some bounce continuously in one direction. Some Re-Koils bounce on their tail without getting off the ground. If a Re-Koil lands on [[Dixie Kong]] or [[Kiddy Kong]], that [[Kong]] gets injured. The Kongs can defeat a Re-Koil by either [[Roll Attack|roll]]ing into it just before it lands, jumping onto it, or hitting the Re-Koil with a [[barrel]]. Re-Koils give the same sound effect from being defeated as [[Krook]]s, [[Klinger]]s, and [[Kloak]]s, although not in the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]]. Due to their high-bouncing ability, the Kongs can sometimes use Re-Koils to reach higher areas or out-of-reach items. A photograph of a Re-Koil appears in [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], in which it is classified as part of the [[Kremling Kreeps]].

Re-Koils appear in eight levels, most of which take place in a mountain or inside a mill:
*[[Murky Mill]]
*[[Riverside Race]]
*[[Squeals on Wheels]]
*[[Kreeping Klasps]]
*[[Tracker Barrel Trek]]
*[[Krack Shot Kroc]]
*[[Koindozer Klamber]]
*[[Criss Kross Cliffs]]

In the Game Boy Advance version, Re-Koils also appear in three more levels in the additional world, [[Pacifica]]: [[Dingy Drain-Pipe]], [[Stormy Seas]], and [[Cliffside Blast]].

===''Donkey Kong Land III''===

In ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', Re-Koils, or '''Rekoils''' as their name is spelled, act the same as in the previous game. They first appear in the level [[Total Rekoil]], which, as its name suggests, have Rekoils as the main feature and enemy. In the Japanese [[Game Boy Color]] port, Rekoils have a yellow sprite.

Rekoils appear in 16 levels, double the number of their level appearances in ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'':
*[[Total Rekoil]]
*[[Liftshaft Lottery]]
*[[Miller Instinct]]
*[[Jungle Jeopardy]]
*[[Footloose Falls]]
*[[Karbine Kaos]]
*[[Rockface Chase]]
