'''Armies'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country'' Nintendo Player's Guide, [[Media:DKC Guide 16-17.jpg|page 16]].</ref> are small armadillo enemies that appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. | |||
The first boss of ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', [[Army Dillo]], is a giant Army, although the enemies themselves do not appear in the game. | |||

[[File:W-Army.png|thumb|An Army holding a "W" in ''Donkey Kong Country''{{'}}s Game Boy Color remake]] | |||
Armies first appear in ''Donkey Kong Country''; they attack by rolling into a ball and careening toward the [[Kong]]s. [[Donkey Kong]] can defeat an Army by jumping on it once, regardless if the enemy is inside its shell or not. [[Diddy Kong]] must jump on an Army twice to defeat it, as when he jumps on a curled up Army, Diddy forces it to its normal position. While an Army is not curled up, Diddy can jump on it another time to defeat it. | |||
Armies are the fifth and final pair of enemies that [[Dumb Drum]] releases during the boss fight, [[Boss Dumb Drum]]. | |||
[[ | |||
In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, Donkey Kong can [[Hand Slap]] an Army to obtain a [[photograph]] for the first page of the [[scrapbook]]. | |||
Armies appear in five normal levels: | |||
*[[Ropey Rampage]] | |||
*[[Slipslide Ride]] | |||
*[[Rope Bridge Rumble]] | |||
*[[Misty Mine]] | |||
*[[Platform Perils]] | |||
===''Donkey Kong Land''=== | ===''Donkey Kong Land''=== | ||
Armies reappear in ''Donkey Kong Land''. They act the same as in ''Donkey Kong Country'' and appear in slightly more levels: | |||
*[[ | *[[Tyre Trail]] | ||
*[[Riggin' Rumble]] | *[[Riggin' Rumble]] | ||
*[[Tricky Temple]] | *[[Tricky Temple]] | ||

===Artwork=== | An Army, purple in color, appears in the ''[[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' comic "[[Donkey Kong Country (comic)|''Donkey Kong Country'']]". It is the first enemy in this comic to attack [[Donkey Kong]] and Diddy Kong. Diddy defeats it by simply [[jump]]ing on it. Like every enemy in the comic, the Army is able to speak. | ||
An individual Army appears as an antagonist in the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (novel)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' novel. While the [[Kongs]] are exploring the abandoned mines, Army and [[Slippa]] ambush the group. [[Donkey Kong]] throws a [[barrel]] at Army and the force of the impact knocks him down the tunnel. | |||

==Trivia== | |||
[[File:DK64 Army.png|thumb|The unused Army model in ''Donkey Kong 64'']] | |||
*In the original ''Donkey Kong Country'', Army's defeat sound is a higher-pitched version of that of Donkey Kong's. | |||
*An [[List of Donkey Kong 64 pre-release and unused content|unused armadillo model]] exists within the ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' kiosk demo, suggesting that Army or a different enemy would have appeared in the game. | |||
*An Army appears near the end of the trailer in ''[[Donkey Kong Racing]]''. | |||
