They can be dangerous nevertheless, as a mere bump into them can actually grant damage to the player-controlled heroes. Gordos twirl quickly when defending themselves, and due to their large and solid constitution, Gordos are tougher to beat than [[Finley]]s, for example, as three [[Corkscrew (Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze)|Corkscrew]] attacks are required to defeat each of them. A single cane swipe from [[Cranky Kong]] can alternatively put an early end to these foes.

Gordos can be found consistently in several parts of the game, which include marine environments. This said, they inhabit [[world]]s like [[Lost Mangroves]] and [[Sea Breeze Cove]]; some Gordos are literally floating in mid-air within the [[Rocket Rails]] stage, where they impede the Kongs' [[minecart]] ride, whilst being vulnerable to crashes or stomps.

Gordos[1] are enemies in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and its Nintendo Switch port. These fish are violet with light-blue fins and have a round, flattened body, making them similar to coral reef fish, and they also have a frowning mouth. Gordos swim passively and slowly, either from side to side or in circles. Bumping into one causes it to make a twirling movement and damage the Kongs. They are tougher than Finleys, requiring three Corkscrew attacks or three cane swipes from Cranky Kong to defeat them. Gordos mostly inhabit marine environments, such as those of Lost Mangroves and Sea Breeze Cove. However, a small number of them appear floating in mid-air in the Rocket Rails stage, where they once again act as obstacles for the Kongs, who ride in a Mine Cart. While in the Mine Cart, the Kongs can defeat a Gordo with a single stomp or by simply crashing into it, though the latter will also damage them.
