Blow: Difference between revisions

Among other actions [[Donkey Kong]] can perform in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'', he can also '''blow''' air to move or dissipate certain objects, or to extinguish flaming enemies. This can be done by crouching, then shaking the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] or pushing the  

{{button|3ds|X}}/{{button|3ds|Y}} button on the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. [[Diddy Kong]] can perform this move likewise, but only when he is controlled independently, i.e. in multiplayer. The [[Kong]]s can blow small air currents for as long as the actions above are executed.

There is a multitude of objects that are affected by Donkey Kong's breath. These range from stationary objects to helicopter-like flowers, which pluck themselves out of the ground and fly away if their propeller petals are spun by an air blow. Many of these objects reveal various items, such as [[banana]]s, [[Banana Coin]]s, and even [[Puzzle Piece (Donkey Kong Country series)|Puzzle Pieces]], while other cause something to occur upon getting blown away. Blowable objects also serve the purpose of world building and decoration, and their role is similar to that of item [[container]]s.

Below is a list with each object and a description on appearance and how it behaves:

*'''Dandelion'''<ref>{{ref quote|Move to the left and jump over to a small platform containing a '''dandelion'''. Blow on the flower to release the first Puzzle Piece.|Michael Knight|Donkey Kong Country Returns [[Prima Games|Prima]] Official Game Guide. Page 64}}</ref> — if its seeds are dispersed, it might uncover an item. Dandelions vary slightly in size and shades, and are widespread throughout [[Donkey Kong Island]], being most common in the [[Jungle (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Jungle]] and [[Ruins]] areas.

*'''Beach grass'''<ref>{{ref quote|The first Puzzle Piece is right near the start. Blow on the '''beach grass''' next to the pier to get it.|Michael Knight|Donkey Kong Country Returns [[Prima Games|Prima]] Official Game Guide. Page 48}}</ref> — tufts of {{wp|Alopecurus|foxtail grass}} grown scantily throughout the [[Beach]]. Blowing a beach grass will disperse its seeds and, at most times, leave an item.

*'''Lantern''' — an illuminating object found in mines and caverns. Lanterns are hanging above the ground, sometimes requiring the Kongs to up a higher step in order to reach them. If blown, the light inside a lantern will flicker out, often producing an item.

*'''{{Conjectural|Tiki heads}}''' — a burning statuette that will turn to ashes and collapse after getting extinguished, producing an item. Tiki heads mostly appear in [[Furious Fire]].

*'''{{Conjectural|Candle bowl}}''' — a small candle held in a bowl. Blowing on it will swoosh the flame, potentially causing an item to appear. Candle bowls are spread throughout the [[Volcano]].
