Tar Fish are large piranha-like enemies made of tar inDonkey Kong Jungle Beat. They are only found in two stages: thePeach Kingdom'sArctic Plunge, and theDurian Kingdom'sAerie Fortress. Similar toTar Men, they sit in place on the opposite side of the screen, waiting forDonkey Kong to be in range, and spit out a group ofBlack Fairies at him to attack. The player must use theSound Wave Attack to deflect them back at the Tar Fish several times until it is defeated, causing it to flip upside down. At this point, Donkey Kong can grab onto the Tar Fish’s back while it charges forward, eventually hitting land and disappearing while eightbeats appear.
