'''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}}. Kocos appear in red and green varieties, with their behavior being determined by their color, comparably to [[Cheep Cheep]]s. 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''' are clown fish that are found in the waters of the [[Northern Kremisphere]].
Kocos first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' They are one of the most common underwater enemies. Kocos bear a resemblance to [[Cheep Cheep]]s of the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]] and, like them, come in the colors red and green and swim in a set pattern depending on color. They are also similar to [[Bitesize]]s. Green Kocos remain completely still, while the red variety swims back and forth within an area. In underwater-themed levels, they are also both found swimming forward nonstop.


Red Kocos appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', retaining the same behavior as before, something that original {{wp|Western world|Western}} releases made evident only from their behavior. Two red Kocos are depicted on the game cover in all regions. Kocos are also the namesake enemy of the level [[Koco Channel]].
Kocos can only be defeated with the aid from [[Enguarde the Swordfish]] by stabbing them with his bill or [[Nibbla]] who can eat them. In the level, "[[Fish Food Frenzy]]", feeding Nibbla Kocos improves its mood. According to the game's credits, Kocos belong to the "[[Aquatic Attackers]]" enemy class.


==Profiles and statistics==
In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version of ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', Koco's color schemes are reversed: stationary Kocos are red, and moving ones are green.

Kocos also reappear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. They have the same appearance and role as in ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', although only red Kocos appear (as shown from the [[Game Boy Color]] version). Two red Kocos also appear on the game's box art.
