9 Video Game Enemies That Help You Defeat Them
8. K. Rool - Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest
K. Rool’s duel doesn’t go so well for him in Donkey Kong Country 2. Using Dixie Kong’s wonderfully useful ponytail, you can beat the final boss, the illustrious King K. Rool, by clogging his blunderbuss with the very ammunition that he is attempting to shoot at you. No matter how many cannonballs he shoots at you, you can always find a way to reverse them on him, and therefore cause him to be the orchestrator of his own demise.
(Just be careful not to get hit by the very same cannonball as it backfires out of the gun, or that’s going to start a whole different list - 10 Games You’re Killed By An Enemy As You Try To Kill It With Its Own Attacks.)
You’d think after the first two shots, he’d maybe realise that shooting cannonballs at us wasn’t the best idea?
In the same game, the mechanic can be used when fighting the vulture boss, Krow. Krow’s genius strategy to try and defeat us is to throw what appears to be scores of his own children at us. You’ll wait for the egg to bounce a few times, proceed to pick up what must be the most durable eggs to ever exist, and lob them back at their neglectful father.
