Armies[1] are small armadillo enemies which first appear in Donkey Kong Country.

History[edit]

Donkey Kong Country / Donkey Kong Land[edit]

An Army in Donkey Kong Country.
An Army from the game Donkey Kong Land.

Armies are enemies in Donkey Kong Country and Donkey Kong Land. They behave identically between both games. Armies attack by rolling into a ball and careening toward the Kongs. Donkey Kong can defeat an Army by jumping on it once, regardless if the enemy is inside its shell or not. Diddy Kong must jump on an Army twice to defeat it, as when he jumps on a curled up Army, Diddy forces it to its normal position. While an Army is not curled up, Diddy can jump on it another time to defeat it. In Donkey Kong Country only, Army's defeat sound is a higher-pitched version of that of Donkey Kong's, though not in the remakes.

Club Nintendo[edit]

One purple-colored Army is an enemy in Club Nintendo comic, "Donkey Kong Country." It has the ability to speak, like the other enemies. Army is the first enemy that attacks Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, the latter defeating it with a stomp.

Donkey Kong Country novel[edit]

An individual Army appears as an antagonist in the Donkey Kong Country novel. While the Kongs are exploring the abandoned mines, Army and Slippa ambush the group. Donkey Kong throws a barrel at Army and the force of the impact knocks him down the tunnel.

Unused appearances[edit]

Donkey Kong 64 has unused armadillo enemies, presumably Armies. Although Armies do not appear, the first boss, Army Dillo, is an Army.

An Army appears near the end of the trailer in Donkey Kong Racing.
