Buckies[1] are caterpillar enemies in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and its Nintendo Switch port found in the level Harvest Hazards. They walk around a platform, releasing trails of toxic fumes that dissolve after a few moments. Their concept artwork depicts a Bucky leaving trails of a light-blue substance, which never happens in-game. If they are on the ceiling, they occasionally attack by dropping large, poisonous bubbles that slowly descend to the ground and pop if coming into contact with it or the Kongs. Some areas feature holes from which Buckies emerge at set intervals.

Buckies can normally be defeated in any way, including a stomp or a roll attack on their front side. Those that hang from ceilings can only be knocked out with a barrel. If the player ground pounds next to a Bucky, the enemy lays down and gets dizzy momentarily, becoming harmless. Shooting one with a popgun likewise stuns it for a brief moment.
