'''Books'''<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20000304110632/http://www.nintendo.com/n64/donkeykong64/creepy.html#d Donkey Kong 64 Banana Guide on Nintendo.com], ''Nintendo''. Retrieved April 16, 2015.</ref> are enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. These large red library books appear only in a library passage within [[Creepy Castle]]. A [[Golden Banana]] appears at the end of the passageway, which can be accessed only by [[Donkey Kong]], but several Books are blocking the path to it. The Books endlessly and rapidly flap between two adjacent bookcases. Donkey Kong can safely pass through the Books only by using his [[Strong Kong]] ability. Books cannot be defeated, and they vanish if they hit Donkey Kong, who is injured by the attack unless his Strong Kong ability is active. If Donkey Kong stands in the path of a Book, it does not fly through him and instead glares at him, then vanishes.

==Trivia==
*Books bear a strong resemblance to [[jiggywikki:Cheato|Cheato]] from the ''{{wp|Banjo-Kazooie}}'' series, which have an overlapping development team and period with ''Donkey Kong 64''.
*The book title on a Book's front cover reads ''DK64 Players Guide'', a reference to ''Donkey Kong 64''{{'}}s corresponding ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' guide. The title is too faint to read within the game itself.
*The attack patterns of Books are similar to those of [[Bookend]]s in the library of [[Big Boo's Haunt]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''.
