| '''Re-Koils''', also spelled '''Rekoils''', are [[List of enemies|enemies]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. These orange [[Kremling]]s have a springy tail. They always stick their tongue out and have their eyes point in opposite directions. Re-Koils have four fingers and three toes, and they are one of the few Kremlings with claws on their hands. They have a yellow belly, and the front of their tail is also yellow. They are the successors to jumping [[Kritter]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and [[Kaboing]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', though Re-Koils may have taken inspiration from {{iw|wikipedia|Tigger}}, a character from ''{{iw|wikipedia|Winnie-the-Pooh}}'' who is similarly orange and uses his tail as a spring.

| ==History==
| | {{quote2|His springy tail can propel him towards players at speed - beware!|''Donkey Kong Country 3'' manual, page 18}} |
| ===''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''===
| |
| Re-Koils first appear in ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''. They bounce on their tail continuously, usually bounce either in one spot or back and forth, though starting in [[Krack Shot Kroc]], some bounce continuously in one direction. Some Re-Koils bounce on their tail without getting off the ground. If a Re-Koil lands on [[Dixie Kong]] or [[Kiddy Kong]], that [[Kong]] gets injured. The Kongs can defeat a Re-Koil by either [[Roll Attack|roll]]ing into it just before it lands, jumping onto it, or hitting the Re-Koil with a [[barrel]]. Re-Koils give the same sound effect from being defeated as [[Krook]]s, [[Klinger]]s, and [[Kloak]]s, although not in the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]]. Due to their high-bouncing ability, the Kongs can sometimes use Re-Koils to reach higher areas or out-of-reach items. A photograph of a Re-Koil appears in [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], in which it is classified as part of the [[Kremling Kreeps]].

|
| ===''Donkey Kong Land III''===
| | '''Re-Koils''' ('''Rekoils''' in ''Donkey Kong Land III'') are members of the [[Kremling Krew]], and are common enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]'', along with ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. Re-Koils are orange [[Kremling]]s with yellow bellies and wear no form of clothing. |
| Rekoils appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'' with the same role as before. They are first encountered in [[Total Rekoil]], as the titular feature and enemy. In ''Donkey Kong GB: Dinky Kong & Dixie Kong'', Rekoils are colored yellow. | |
|
| |
|
| ===Unused appearances===
| | Re-Koils usually try to attack the [[Kong]]s by bouncing on their tails and trying to land on them, although some Re-Koils will only bounce up and down in one spot. Since defeating them with a jump requires a good timing, it is actually easier to attack them with a [[cartwheel]] when they land on the ground. Re-Koils replace the jumping [[Kritter]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and the [[Kaboing]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2]]''. According to the game's credits, Re-Koils belong to the "[[Kremling Kreeps]]" enemy class. |

| | *Re-Koils were originally the only Kremlings with claws on their fingers. |
| | *Re-Koils may have been inspired by Tigger, from the ''Winnie the Pooh'' franchise, as both of them use their tail as a spring. However, Re-Koils lack stripes. |
| | *Re-Koils [[List of Donkey Kong 64 pre-release and unused content|were originally]] going to appear in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', as they have an unused model. |
