Re-Koils are orange Kremlings with a springy tail. Re-Koils always stick their tongue out and have their eyes point in opposite directions. Re-Koils have four fingers and three toes, and they are one of the few Kremlings with claws on their hands. They have a yellow belly, and the front of their tail is also yellow. Re-Koils first appear as enemies in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and return in Donkey Kong Land III. They are the successors to jumping Kritters from Donkey Kong Country and Kaboings from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest.

HistoryEdit

Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!Edit

In Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, Re-Koils continuously bounce on their tail. They usually bounce either in one spot or back and forth, though starting in Krack Shot Kroc, some bounce continuously in one direction. Some Re-Koils bounce on their tail without getting off the ground. If a Re-Koil lands on Dixie Kong or Kiddy Kong, that Kong gets injured. The Kongs can defeat a Re-Koil by either rolling into it just before it lands, jumping onto it, or hitting the Re-Koil with a barrel. Re-Koils give the same sound effect from being defeated as Krooks, Klingers, and Kloaks, although not in the Game Boy Advance version. Due to their high-bouncing ability, the Kongs can sometimes use Re-Koils to reach higher areas or out-of-reach items. A photograph of a Re-Koil appears in Dixie Kong's Photo Album, in which it is classified as part of the Kremling Kreeps.

Re-Koils appear in eight levels, most of which take place in a mountain or inside a mill:

In the Game Boy Advance version, Re-Koils also appear in three more levels in the additional world, Pacifica: Dingy Drain-Pipe, Stormy Seas, and Cliffside Blast.

Donkey Kong Land IIIEdit

In Donkey Kong Land III, Re-Koils, or Rekoils as their name is spelled, act the same as in the previous game. They first appear in the level Total Rekoil, which, as its name suggests, have Rekoils as the main feature and enemy. In the Japanese Game Boy Color port, Rekoils have a yellow sprite.

Rekoils appear in 16 levels, double the number of their level appearances in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!:

TriviaEdit

  • Re-Koils may have been inspired by Tigger from the Winnie-the-Pooh franchise, as both are orange and use their tail for a spring.
