Books[1] are enemies inDonkey Kong 64. These large red library books appear only in a library passage withinCreepy Castle. AGolden Banana appears at the end of the passageway, which can be accessed only byDonkey Kong, but several Books are blocking the path to it. The Books endlessly and rapidly flap between two adjacent bookcases. Donkey Kong can safely pass through the Books only by using hisStrong Kong ability. Books cannot be defeated, and they vanish if they hit Donkey Kong, who is injured by the attack unless his Strong Kong ability is active. If Donkey Kong stands in the path of a Book, it does not fly through him and instead glares at him, then vanishes.

Notes[edit]

  • Books bear a strong resemblance toCheato from theBanjo-Kazooie series, which have an overlapping development team and period withDonkey Kong 64.
  • The book title on a Book's front cover readsDK64 Players Guide, a reference toDonkey Kong 64's correspondingNintendo Power guide. The title is too faint to read within the game itself.
  • The attack patterns of Books are similar to those ofBookends in the library ofBig Boo's Haunt inSuper Mario 64 andSuper Mario 64 DS.
