Tiny can use the Feather Bow to activate [[Target Switch|Feather Switch]]es. The Feather Bow has the same triggering sound regardless whether it is equipped with ammo.

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.
