In ''Donkey Kong Country'', Armies 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 appear in five [[level]]s: [[Ropey Rampage]], [[Slipslide Ride]], [[Rope Bridge Rumble]], [[Misty Mine]], and [[Platform Perils]]. Armies are also the fifth and final pair of enemies released by [[Dumb Drum]] during his boss fight in [[Boss Dumb Drum]]. | |||
In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], Donkey Kong can [[Hand Slap]] an Army to obtain a [[photograph]] for the first page of the [[Scrapbook (Donkey Kong Country series)|Scrapbook]]. | |||
===''Donkey Kong Land''=== | |||
Armies return in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'', behaving identically as before and appearing in slightly more levels, as follows: [[Tire Trail]], [[Riggin' Rumble]], [[Tricky Temple]], [[Swirlwind Storm]], [[Pot Hole Panic (Donkey Kong Land)|Pot Hole Panic]], [[Balloon Barrage]], [[Kong Krazy]], and lastly [[Button Barrel Blast]]. | |||

An Army, purple in color, appears in the ''[[Club Nintendo (German magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' comic, "[[Donkey Kong Country (comic)|Donkey Kong Country]]." It is the first enemy that attacks [[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. | |||

==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]]''. | |||
