Shroom Kritters are semi-commonly found in [[Fungi Forest]] during the day. Shroom Kritters have a similar attack pattern to [[Klobber]]s; a Shroom Kritter will sit and wait for a [[Kong]] to pass; once one comes, it will then leap up and try to attack that Kong.

Shrooms[1] are large, light-blue Kremlings in Donkey Kong 64. They wear a mushroom costume on their head with a small, rectangular hole to peek out of. Shrooms are encountered in Fungi Forest at daytime, where one waits in the ground, taking on the appearance of a normal mushroom, but when a Kong approaches, the Shroom jumps up to reveal itself and runs after the player character, trying to hit them with its mushroom head. Shrooms are weak enemies as only one hit defeats them.

Profiles[edit]

  • Prima guide: From a distance, these may look like ordinary mushrooms, but beware of their surprise attack. This baddie will bury itself and pop out at an unsuspecting Kong. One hit will plant this fungus back in the ground.[1]
