The title of this article is official, but it comes from a Japanese source.
If an acceptable English name is found, then the article should be moved to the new title.
Pengatcha 1-gō (generically referred to by Prima as a "vehicle"[1]) is a large machine piloted by a Speedy Tucks in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. It has a pair of extendable claws and a body that can rise and lower while rotating around an axis. Pengatcha 1-gō acts as a recurring obstacle in Reckless Ride, stretching its claws and sending Soaries at the Kongs, who are flying a Rocket Barrel, while pursuing them down the juice flow. In a later part of the stage, Pengatcha 1-gō also attempts to hinder the Kongs by collapsing surrounding structures or opening up gutters to let enormous fruit roll onto them. The Kongs may lose a heart from their health meter if they are hit in any manner described above.
Nearing the end of the stage, Pengatcha 1-gō ominously points its claws towards the Kongs and spins them rapidly as it prepares for a final attack, but crashes into a stone arch and draws to a halt. The Speedy Tucks piloting the machine panics and ejects itself from it, only to land next to a Chompasaurus that promptly eats it. The machine, now wrecked, partially reveals a Barrel Cannon from inside its cockpit, which the Kongs can jump into and blast off of to enter a bonus room.
