As stated earlier, Buckies are able to cling onto walls and ceilings. As they walk, Buckies release trails of dangerous, toxic fumes that dissolve after a few moments. Their concept artwork depicts one leaving trails of snow, which never happens in-game. If they are on the ceiling, they occasionally attack by dropping large, poisonous bubbles that slowly descend to the ground and pop if coming into contact with it or the [[Kong]]s.
Buckies can normally be defeated in any way, including a stomp or a [[Roll Attack|roll attack]] on their front side. Those that hang from ceilings can only be knocked out with a [[barrel]]. If the player ground pounds next to a Bucky, the enemy lays down and gets dizzy momentarily, becoming harmless. Shooting one with a [[popgun]] likewise stuns it for a brief moment.

Buckies can be defeated with a stomp or a [[Roll Attack|roll attack]] on their front side. However, by rolling into the monster, the Kongs could easily slip into its poisonous trail and lose a heart from their health meter. Buckies that hang from ceilings cannot be defeated by stomps or rolls; conversely, they can be knocked out with a barrel. If the player ground pounds next to a Bucky, the enemy will lay down and feel dizzy for a moment. Shooting one with a [[popgun]] produces a similar result, as it stuns it for a short time.
 
Sometimes, the player can encounter strings of ceiling-dwelling Buckies that constantly emerge from holes and end up in another one, further away.

Buckies[1] are caterpillar enemies in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and its Nintendo Switch port found in the level Harvest Hazards. They walk around a platform, releasing trails of toxic fumes that dissolve after a few moments. Their concept artwork depicts a Bucky leaving trails of a light-blue substance, which never happens in-game. If they are on the ceiling, they occasionally attack by dropping large, poisonous bubbles that slowly descend to the ground and pop if coming into contact with it or the Kongs. Some areas feature holes from which Buckies emerge at set intervals.

Buckies can normally be defeated in any way, including a stomp or a roll attack on their front side. Those that hang from ceilings can only be knocked out with a barrel. If the player ground pounds next to a Bucky, the enemy lays down and gets dizzy momentarily, becoming harmless. Shooting one with a popgun likewise stuns it for a brief moment.
