'''Buckies'''<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|author=von Esmarch, Nick, and Cory van Grier|location=Roseville|title=''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|page=12|date=February 21, 2014|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|isbn=978-0-804-16252-4}}</ref> are caterpillar enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' and its Nintendo Switch [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|port]] found in the level [[Harvest Hazards]]. They walk around a platform, releasing trails of toxic fumes that dissolve after a few moments. Their concept artwork depicts a Bucky leaving trails of a light-blue substance, which never happens in-game. If they are on the ceiling, they occasionally attack by dropping large, poisonous bubbles that slowly descend to the ground and pop if coming into contact with it or the [[Kong]]s. Some areas feature holes from which Buckies emerge at set intervals.

Buckies can normally be defeated in any way, including a stomp or a [[Roll Attack|roll attack]] on their front side. Those that hang from ceilings can only be knocked out with a [[barrel]]. If the player ground pounds next to a Bucky, the enemy lays down and gets dizzy momentarily, becoming harmless. Shooting one with a [[popgun]] likewise stuns it for a brief moment.

==References==
'''Buckies'''{{refneeded}} are yellow caterpillar enemies appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''. They are sluggish walkers that can stick to any surface with their stubby legs. Their front legs have been positioned as hands, in order to improve their character. Small, red bristles are orderly placed on their head and body. Buckies have rabbit-like teeth and a long mouth. Two small nostrils stand between their distant, wide open eyes.

As they walk, Buckies release trails of toxic fumes which disappear after a set amount of time, but which are dangerous for the [[Kong]]s.
(The artwork for Buckies depicts one leaving trails of snow, which never happens in-game.) It was stated earlier that Buckies can cling onto walls and ceilings; in the latter case, they occasionally drop large, poisonous bubbles that slowly descend until they pop when coming in contact with ground or with a Kong. Buckies are not difficult to defeat: a single stomp can down them. A [[Barrel Roll (move)|roll]] attack on their front side is also effective against these creatures, but it is not recommended, since the player can get into their poisonous trails and get damaged. Nevertheless, Buckies that hang on ceilings cannot be defeated by these methods, and it is useful to throw a [[barrel]] at them so they perish. If the player ground pounds next to a Bucky, the catterpillar enemy will lay down and start to feel dizzy for a moment, only to get up and continue its usual task. Shooting one with a [[popgun]] stuns them for a short time, as they pull back their heads when hit.


{{DKCTF}}
Sometimes, the player can encounter strings of ceiling-dwelling Buckies that constantly emerge from holes and end up in another one, further away. Their main "target" is, perhaps, hindering the Kongs with their descending large bubbles.
