Hogwash the Flying Pig,[1] or simply Hogwash,[2][3] is a species of flying pigs in Donkey Kong Land. Hogwash shares a name with the term "hogwash", which expresses nonsense or bunk. Their ability to fly is derived from the idiom "when pigs fly", when someone believes that something is not possible. During the game's development, Hogwashes were named Rashers,[4] a term for bacon used chiefly in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
History[edit]
Donkey Kong Land[edit]
Hogwashes are enemies in Donkey Kong Land. They are airborne enemies that usually horizontally, but sometimes back and forth, like with Neckies. Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong can defeat a Hogwash by jumping off of it.
Donkey Kong Country: Rumble in the Jungle[edit]
- “Those pigs must be the Krem-dudes' newest experiment.”
- —Funky Kong, Donkey Kong Country: Rumble in the Jungle
In Donkey Kong Country: Rumble in the Jungle, a swarm of Hogwashes (referred to as "flying pigs") are revealed to have shot explosive cannonballs at Funky Kong's barrel plane, causing it to crash land over Big Ape City. Hearing this occurring over a walkie-talkie, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong and Cranky Kong travel to the Kremlings' factory in Big Ape City to rescue him. At the city, they learn that it was the Kremlings' automatic defense system who had sent the Hogwashes to shoot down Funky's plane, as he was thought to be a spy.
After Funky Kong is rescued, he begins working on repairing his damaged plane. Donkey Kong proceeds to the factory's defense system, and uses a TNT Barrel to destroy it so the Kongs can safely leave Big Ape City. Once the plane is repaired, the Kongs leave through a hole in the factory wall. Despite the defense system being destroyed, another swarm of flying pigs attempt to attack the plane. Funky Kong has the idea to pour the plane's entire supply of banana milkshake over the pigs. This causes their wings to become sticky, which forces them to glide back to the ground. The Kongs later use TNT Barrels to blow up the entire factory, escaping safely in their plane.
