Unlike Koins, Koindozers prefer to take the offensive; rather than simply block [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy's]] attacks, they try to attack the [[Kong]]s. Koindozers will try to chase down the Kongs and bash them into either an enemy or abyss with their shield. Like normal Koins, Koindozers can be used as platforms by the Kongs. Since Koindozers cannot be defeated, it is best they just be avoided.
