Gordos twirl quickly when defending themselves, and due to their large and solid constitution, Gordos are tougher to beat than [[Finley]]s, for example, as three [[Corkscrew (Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze)|Corkscrew]] attacks are required to defeat each of them.

They are tougher than Finleys and require three Corkscrew attacks or three cane swipes from Cranky Kong to defeat them.

Gordos mostly inhabit marine environments, such as those of Lost Mangroves and Sea Breeze Cove. However, a small number of them appear floating in mid-air in the Rocket Rails stage, where they once again act as obstacles for the Kongs, who ride in a Mine Cart. While in the Mine Cart, the Kongs can defeat a Gordo with a single stomp or by simply crashing into it, though the latter will also damage the characters.
