In ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and [[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D|its enhanced port]], Screaming Pillars can be encountered throughout the [[Jungle (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Jungle]], [[Ruins]] and [[Volcano]] areas and are initially seen idle. If the [[Kong]]s approach these pillars, they awake with a scream and collapse onto the ground, potentially crushing any creature standing beneath them, including the Kongs; their feathers also detach during their sudden awakening. Should a pillar fall onto the Kongs, they lose one heart from their health counter. The Kongs can destroy a Screaming Pillar by [[Hand Slap|ground pound]]ing its body after it has fallen. Sometimes, Screaming Pillars might give out precious items, such as [[Banana Coin]]s or even [[Puzzle Piece (Donkey Kong Country series)|Puzzle Piece]]s, after getting destroyed. | In ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and [[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D|its enhanced port]], Screaming Pillars can be encountered throughout the [[Jungle (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Jungle]], [[Ruins]] and [[Volcano]] areas and are initially seen idle.

Screaming Pillars react to the Kongs at different ranges. Some of them only topple if the Kongs are within very close range, such as in [[Wonky Waterway]], while others are able to locate the primates further and then fall, as seen in [[Damp Dungeon]]. A level called [[Five Monkey Trial]] contains several Screaming Pillars which collapse regardless of the Kongs' close presence, and also instantly break upon hitting the ground without the heroes' intervention. | Noteworthy is that Screaming Pillars react to the Kongs at different ranges.

A [[Screaming Pillar (big)|larger variant]] is present in the levels [[Canopy Cannons]] and the [[Nintendo 3DS]]-exclusive [[Crushin' Columns]]. Their scream is much louder and more intense, and they take out the Kongs completely when falling onto them. | A [[Screaming Pillar (big)|larger variant]] is present in the levels [[Canopy Cannons]] and the [[Nintendo 3DS]]-exclusive [[Crushin' Columns]].

When awakened, they expel flames out of their eyes and mouth before falling to the ground. Like in the previous game, they are able to crush the [[Kong]]s as they fall, but can be destroyed with three [[Hand Slap|Ground Pound]]s once they have fallen. They only appear in [[Scorch 'n' Torch]], where at one point a Flaming Falling Totem Pole crushes a stationary [[Archy (fire)|Archy]] to death, showing a capability to damage enemies as well as the Kongs. | ||

Screaming Pillars make a return in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. However, they do not attack the player by collapsing on the ground, instead appearing as obstacles on the [[DK Jungle (3DS)|DK Jungle]] racetrack. While usually dormant, they scream every once in a while, powerfully blowing air to push hanggliding players back. Their appearance has been slightly updated with the addition of stone eyebrows. | |||
Regular Screaming Pillars have been replaced with the larger variants in the ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' rendition of DK Jungle. They exhale smoke while making noises. | Regular Screaming Pillars have been replaced with the larger variants in the ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' rendition of DK Jungle.

Screaming Pillars | Screaming Pillars appear on the [[DK Jungle (golf course)|DK Jungle]] golf course in ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]''. Much like in ''Mario Kart 7'', they occasionally pop strong air currents out of their mouths, which can push the golf ball in a direction. Screaming Pillars are present near Hole 1 and Hole 9. Big Screaming Pillars can also be seen near Hole 8. | ||
