Kaboings are enemies in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''. They are first encountered in [[Gangplank Galley (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Gangplank Galley]]. Kaboings are mainly beige, but some green Kaboings appear in some of the later levels. Kaboings have a set pattern of bouncing around the level. Oftentimes, a Kaboing stands on a platform, waiting for [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] to be in sight before jumping off. Kaboings exist in beige and green color varieties, with the latter type moving slightly faster and jumping slightly higher than their beige counterpart. In the cast roll, Kaboings are classified as part of the "[[Kremling Kuthroats]]".


In some later levels of the game the light green version of Kaboings are encountered. These green Kaboings can jump slightly higher and move slightly faster. In [[Web Woods]], green Kaboings wait on higher platforms to jump down and ambush [[Squitter the Spider|Squitter]].

Kaboings[1] are enemies introduced in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. They are Klomps except they have two peg legs, which appear to be fashioned from retractable spyglasses, and Kaboings have to bounce to move around. They act as the successors of the jumping Kritters from Donkey Kong Country, though Re-Koils would inherit their behavior in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and Donkey Kong Land III.

History[edit]

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest[edit]

Kaboings are enemies in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. They are first encountered in Gangplank Galley. Kaboings are mainly beige, but some green Kaboings appear in some of the later levels. Kaboings have a set pattern of bouncing around the level. Oftentimes, a Kaboing stands on a platform, waiting for Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong to be in sight before jumping off. Kaboings exist in beige and green color varieties, with the latter type moving slightly faster and jumping slightly higher than their beige counterpart. In the cast roll, Kaboings are classified as part of the "Kremling Kuthroats".

Donkey Kong Land 2[edit]

Kaboings are enemies in Donkey Kong Land 2. All of them behave identically to beige Kaboings from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, lacking any color variety. Kaboings appear in some more levels than in the previous game.
