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.

| | The '''Ghost Books''' are ghostly library books only found in [[Creepy Castle]]'s library which can only be accessed by [[Donkey Kong]]. When Donkey Kong triggers a switch, it opens a secret passage way. Once he get's to it there is a path that leads to a [[Golden Banana]], but several Ghost Books are flying through the walls blocking the path. Donkey Kong must use the [[Strong Kong]] ability to get passed the flying Ghost Books. Ghost Books can not be defeated, they can only be passed by. Ghosts Books can only be seen in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. |

| ==Trivia== | | == 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]]''.

|
| ==References==
| | * If Donkey Kong is blocking the path of a Ghost Book, it'll just glare at him and disappear instead of fly through him. |

| | * Ghost Books somewhat show a resemblence to the ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'' cheat book character [[Cheato]], but the Ghost Books posses angry eyes instead of nice and/or sad eyes. |
