Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!

  • Player's Guide: The Koindozers will relentlessly shove you if you stand next to them. Like Koin, you can stand directly on top of them and use them as a platforms.[sic] Dixie's Helicopter Spin makes it easier to come to a pinpoint landing directly on their shields. Sometimes you'll need to lure the Koindozers into a position where they can help you reach a higher platform.[1]
