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 [[Kong]]s. [[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.
