Kabooms are enemies in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''. They | Kabooms are enemies in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''. They commonly appear in [[level]]s of the later [[world]]s, especially the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Lost World]] and [[K. Rool's Keep]], though Kabooms first appear in the [[Gloomy Gulch]] level, [[Ghostly Grove (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Ghostly Grove]]. Their behavior is shared with Klobbers: they both hide in their barrel, then pop out when [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] get close, and run after them in an attempt to hurt them. Kabooms' TNT Barrels are distinguishable from normal ones, because the "N" of TNT is flipped. This is fixed after Diddy or Dixie jumps on it. The only major difference that Kabooms have from Klobbers is that a Kaboom's barrel explodes when it crashes into the lead Kong, with the resulting TNT blast defeating both of them. A Kaboom can more safely be defeated from either having a projectile thrown at it, such as a [[barrel]] or a [[Cannonball|kannonball]], or from being jumped on and thrown like a regular TNT Barrel. When jumped on, a Kaboom re-emerges shortly after, unless the Kongs quickly grab it. Kabooms also get defeated if they run onto the spikes in [[Klobber Karnage (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Klobber Karnage]], but they do not explode. Kabooms are one of the few entities absent from the end credits, but the [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|remake]] rectifies this by listing one with a Klobber. | ||

TNT Bombers attack similarly as before, though during their pursuit, they sometimes say "C'mon" in a high-pitched voice. TNT Bombers can be identified by their TNT Barrels lacking fuses, and they can damage a Kong by touching them, or if the Kongs try to attack them directly. | |||
Like many other enemies, a TNT Bomber can be defeated by an [[orange]], a musical instrument move, or from a Kong's weapon. A [[Super Slam]] can also defeat a TNT Bomber, but with the side effect of also damaging the player character. | |||
TNT | TNT Bombers self-destruct after chasing after the active Kong for five seconds, and say "Uh oh" right before exploding. The only remains of a TNT Bomber after exploding is a pile of ash with two blinking eyes on top. | ||
TNT Bombers are first shown during Diddy's segment of the [[DK Rap]], where Diddy simultaneously defeats three of them by throwing an [[orange]] at them. During the game itself, TNT Bombers first appear in the later segment of [[Mine Cart Ride#Diddy's Mine Cart Ride|Diddy's Mine Cart Ride]], where they jump out of edges at random as an attempt to crash into him. If a TNT Bomber successfully hits into Diddy, he loses a few [[DK Coin]]s. [[Angry Aztec]] and [[Gloomy Galleon]] are the only two levels where TNT Bombers appear. | TNT Bombers are first shown during Diddy's segment of the [[DK Rap]], where Diddy simultaneously defeats three of them by throwing an [[orange]] at them.
