{{Quote|Boy, everywhere you look, it's ghosts, ghosts, and more ghosts! Listen up, because you'll want to know how to fend 'em off. Jeepers creepers, better cast yer peepers on the top screen! All you have to do is stop moving and stay totally motionless. If you stay still, the ghosts turn transparent, and they can't hurt you. When you're walking, just stop where you are. When you're on [[peg]]s, grab on with both hands and freeze! Remember, when you're in danger, just stay calm and stay still.|[[Cranky Kong]] in [[Spooky Woods]]|{{a|DKJC|l}}}}
'''Powan'''<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n08/bbkj/teki/index.html</ref> is the name given to a [[ghost]] enemy that appears in ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'' and ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]''. Powan resemble generic ghosts, with their faces consisting of two big empty eyes and a tiny mouth, followed by a chubby body overall, short hands, and a regular phantom tail; they also have a pointy top on their heads.
'''Ghosts''' are enemies in both games of the ''[[DK (series)|DK]]'' series.


==History==
==Description==
===''DK: King of Swing''===
In ''DK: King of Swing'', they haunt the [[Ship of Souls]] in the [[Aqua World]], and also appear in [[Spooky Woods]]. Powan float around a set area until they detect [[Donkey Kong]], at which point they will start approaching him, fading back in and damaging DK once they are on top of him. However, they also go invisible before attacking DK, allowing him to pass through the Powan without damaging himself. Powans are also vulnerable in their visible state, and can be defeated with a charge.

Ghosts debut in ''[[DK: King of Swing]]''. They are encountered in the [[Ship of Souls]] only, where they float around a set area until they spot the player character ([[Donkey Kong]] or [[Diddy Kong]]), at which point they fade in and out while chasing him. A ghost can damage the player character while it is opaque, but a single charge attack can defeat it. Ghosts can be safely passed through while translucent.


===''DK: Jungle Climber''===
==Gallery==
Ghosts are featured within [[Spooky Woods]], a level in ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]''. They are always invisible unless Donkey Kong moves around. If it is close, a ghost scares the player character away. Ghosts pass through the player character if they are motionless.
