| | '''Rekoils''' are members of the [[Kremling Krew]] and are common enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 3]]''. Rekoils are oranges with a yellow belly and wear no form of clothing. Rekoils usually try to attack the Kongs by bouncing on their tails and trying to land on them, although some Rekoils can only bounce in place. Rekoils always seem to have a stupid grin on their face and are sometimes seen with their tongue hanging out; also their eyes perpetually stare in different directions. |

| '''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==
| | Rekoils resemble [[Klinger]]s, common Kremling enemies from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. The only real difference between the two species is that Rekoils have more pronounced claws and are brighter in color, Klingers have fangs whereas Rekoils don't, also Klingers can climb other Kremlings (surprisingly) can't. Klingers also have regular tails whereas Rekoils have the thick ones they use for bouncing. |
| ===''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]].
