History
Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!
In Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, a Koin appears in every level, usually at the end, moving its shield in whichever direction Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong are in. If the Kongs approach a Koin from either the front or try to jump on it, the Koin uses its shield to bounce the Kongs backward. If the Kongs throw a Steel Barrel at the Koin's armor, it bounces off. If the Kongs replay a level where they have collected its DK Coin, the DK Coin no longer appears on the Koin's shield. In certain circumstances, some Koins can only be defeated if a Bazuka shoots a Steel Barrel at the Koin, in which case the Kongs have to use a Switch Barrel to change Bazuka's Barrels or TNT Barrels into Steel Barrels. In a few levels, the Kongs have only a single chance to defeat the Koin, if they can only get a nearby Steel Barrel by crossing a No Animal Sign with an Animal Friend. If Dixie and Kiddy are unsuccessful, they have to restart level to get another chance at defeating the Koin. In Dixie Kong's Photo Album, a Koin is categorized with the other Kremlings as part of the Kremling Kreeps category.
Koins have a pink variant in the level Koindozer Klamber, named Koindozers. Unlike Koins, Koindozers try to defeat the Kongs by pushing them into a pit with their shield.
In certain levels of the Game Boy Advance remake, the Kongs can defeat a Koin using a TNT Barrel.[1]
Donkey Kong Land III
In Donkey Kong Land III, Koins are mostly the same as in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, although they no longer appear in underwater levels, where the DK Coin itself is hidden instead. The Kongs automatically obtain a DK Coin from defeating Koin, a change that was kept in the Game Boy Advance remake of Donkey Kong Country 3.
