History
Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!
Koins are enemies in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!. They appear 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.
In certain levels of the remake, a Koin can be defeated from a TNT Barrel, such as in Surf's Up, from the resulting explosion while Koin faces upward.
