Green Kocos are either stationary or move in one direction, while the red ones swim back and forth in an area. In underwater levels, there are also red Kocos that swim nonstop in a single direction. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, their roles were reversed. Like other underwater enemies, Kocos can only be defeated if [[Enguarde the Swordfish|Enguarde]] stabs them. In the level [[Fish Food Frenzy]], [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] are required to guide a [[Nibbla]] into eating Kocos to prevent it from becoming angry and biting them. In [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], Kocos are classified under the "[[Aquatic Attackers]]" enemy class. | '''Kocos''', also spelled '''Cocos'''<ref>{{cite|date=March 1997|title=''Nintendo Official Magazine'' (UK) Volume 54|page=51}}</ref> and also named '''Kogos''',<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (Australia) Volume 58|date=January 1998|page=32}}</ref> are fish enemies that first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', where they are one of the most common underwater enemies, said to patrol the nearby waters of [[Donkey Kong Island]].<ref>{{cite|title=''Donkey Kong Land III'' instruction booklet|page=23|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1997|language=American English}}</ref> They are based on the literal interpretation of a {{wp|clownfish}}, as shown from their face paint and big red nose, and their name likely refers to the classic cartoon character {{wp|Koko the Clown}}.
