==Trivia==
* In the game's official artworks of Tiny Kong posing with the Feather Bow, the feathers are gray and have the calamus closer to the back of the weapon; but in the game, the feathers are pink and the calamus part is facing the direction it is going. Also the feathers in the game only appear after being fired, due to the 64-bit textural limitations.
* The Feather Bow's triggering sound is the same with and without any ammunition, but the additional sound is the feather being fired (with ammunition only).

Tiny Kong
Artwork from Donkey Kong 64

The Feather Bow is a weapon used by Tiny Kong in Donkey Kong 64. It costs three Banana Bunch Coins to buy from Funky's Store, available from her first visit onward. The Feather Bow shoots feathers as ammo, not a fruit like the other Kongs' weapons, and are especially used for activating Feather Switches. The feathers are launched fast, though with an imprecise aim. The Feather Bow is also used during the final battle to turn King K. Rool's toes red while inside of his left shoe.[1] A red Supply Crate can provide five to ten darker homing feathers for ammo.
