Koins are a type of Kremling that appear in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and Donkey Kong Land III. Koins wear a bucket on their head and carry around a trash can lid as a shield, and a DK Coin is attached to it. Their name is a pun on "coin". By defeating the Koin, Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong can acquire its DK Coin. To defeat a Koin, the Kongs often have to throw a Steel Barrel at the wall behind Koin, causing it to bounce off and roll into Koin from behind.
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 the level for 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 (which cannot be defeated) attempt to defeat the Kongs by pushing them into the pits with their shields.
Certain levels of the Game Boy Advance version allow for the Kongs to defeat a Koin using a TNT Barrel instead, such as in Surf's Up, by having the resulting explosion while Koin faces upward, defeating it.
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!, except they do not appear in underwater levels, where DK Coins appear by themselves instead. The Kongs automatically obtain a DK Coin from defeating Koin.
