'''Kaboings''' are gray and green colored reptilian enemies and members of the [[Kremling Krew]]. They look similar to [[Klomp]]s, but instead of possessing one peg-leg like the latter, Kaboings have two. According to the game's credits, Kaboings belong to the "[[Kremling Kuthroats]]" enemy class.

Kaboings are first encountered in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' as common enemies. Due to having two peg-legs, Kaboings are incapable of walking normally and instead bounce and attempt to land on or slam into [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] or [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]]. A simple bonk on the head is enough to defeat a Kaboing.

In some later levels of the game, light green versions of Kaboings are encountered. These green Kaboings can jump slightly higher and move slightly faster. In [[Web Woods]], green Kaboings wait on higher platforms to jump down and ambush [[Squitter the Spider|Squitter]].  
==History==
===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''===
In ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', Kaboings are somewhat common enemies, and they first appear in the level [[Gangplank Galley (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Gangplank Galley]]. Most Kaboings are beige, but some green ones also appear in a few of the later levels. Kaboings have a set pattern of bouncing around the level. Oftentimes, a Kaboing stands on a platform, waiting for [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] to be in sight before jumping off. Kaboings exist in beige and green color varieties, with the latter type moving slightly faster and jumping slightly higher than their beige counterpart. In the cast roll, Kaboings are classified as part of the "[[Kremling Kuthroats]]".


Kaboings also appear in ''Donkey Kong Country 2's'' pseudo-sequel, ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', and retain all of their characteristics.

Kaboings[1] are grunt members of the Kremling Krew that appear in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2. They look like Klomps except they have two peg legs, which appear to be fashioned from retractable spyglasses, rather than just one. Because of this, Kaboings bounce to move around. Kaboings act as the successors of the jumping Kritters from Donkey Kong Country, though Re-Koils would later become their successors in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and Donkey Kong Land III.

History[edit]

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest[edit]

In Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, Kaboings are somewhat common enemies, and they first appear in the level Gangplank Galley. Most Kaboings are beige, but some green ones also appear in a few of the later levels. Kaboings have a set pattern of bouncing around the level. Oftentimes, a Kaboing stands on a platform, waiting for Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong to be in sight before jumping off. Kaboings exist in beige and green color varieties, with the latter type moving slightly faster and jumping slightly higher than their beige counterpart. In the cast roll, Kaboings are classified as part of the "Kremling Kuthroats".

Level appearances

Donkey Kong Land 2[edit]

In Donkey Kong Land 2, Kaboings no longer have color varieties, due to the Game Boy's monochromatic display, and all Kaboings behave identically to beige Kaboings from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. Kaboings appear in some more levels than in the previous game.
