Cat o' 9 tails are fairly rare enemies, encountered in only three levels in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest (namely Mudhole Marsh, Screech's Sprint, and Fiery Furnace). If a Cat o' 9 tails spots either Diddy Kong or Dixie Kong, it will attempt to spin into them and whip them with its tails.
