AckStacks^[1] are enemies that only appear in Donkey Kong Country Returns and its enhanced Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo Switch ports Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D and Donkey Kong Country Returns HD respectively. They are a group consisting of five yellow Acks that stand atop each other like a tower. Much like the variants of Toothberries, AckStacks are rare, appearing in Itty Bitty Biters only. If Donkey Kong and Diddy get too close to an AckStack, the Acks lean back and fall with their mouths open. Sometimes, AckStacks take up a large amount of space when collapsing and may knock the Kongs into an abyss. Donkey Kong can dodge an AckStack by jumping back, which causes every Ack to land separately, with their fangs stuck in the floor. These Acks are vulnerable to jump attacks. Unlike normal Acks, the Kongs can defeat them with a single hit. The Kong Roll is ineffective against AckStacks, but attempting it does not damage them.
