Updated with klaptraps, check them out if you like crocs.

Updated the thread by adding Ghost Ropes from Donkey Kong Country 2 and a made up Klaptrap variant.

The ghost rope looks really cool.

As a fan of DKC2 and a fan of no longer having to create events to spawn then despawn ropes to make this effect, I love these Ghost Ropes. Just their eerie wailing brings back the nostalgic feels.

There is a bug to report, though. When there are 2 Ghost Ropes on the screen with different spawn timers, both of their climbabilities defaults to the left-most one. In other words, if the left one is active and the right one isn't, you can still climb an invisible right one. If the left is inactive, you can't climb the right. I haven't tried this with more than 2 Ropes either.
Hopefully this image below will illustrate:

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy it, however once I update these with the bug fix I advise to redownload.

Added in 5 hours 3 minutes 34 seconds:
Ghost Ropes are updated with a kinda janky solution, hopefully it should fix the issue though.

The thread has been updated, adding Oil Drums and an update to the zingers. Zingers now:
Have proper working turning animations
Sound less annoying
Have a new parabolic movement variant
A couple of extra minor fixes.

Updated the Zingers again, this time toning down the volume some more, and fixing a few sound related bugs.

Edit: Updated the oil drums also, now NPCs pass through them so you can bomb them easier.

Edit 2: Slightly improved the oil drums, download link has been updated.

Edit 3: Accidentally gave the wrong download link to the oil drums, had an older version on there. Been fixed now.

Edit 4: Updated the Oil Drums to have their ids not overlap with the other DKC enemies.

It would be awesome if you made Snapjaw from Donkey Kong Country 2, I need it for my episode!

You could try asking AndrewPixel, I believe he made one, but it never got formally released.

Okay, where can I find it?

Update to the Ghost Ropes!

Massive thank you to KBM-Quine for adding support to Link along with various other things, included in a credits file with the ghost ropes, and also a massive thanks to ShadowStarX for adding a new extra-setting that allows them to desync from one another.

Download the ghost ropes for these new additions.

Released an update, I added some of the Tiki Tak Tribe NPCs from DKCR.
These were made for my episode, but I figured I may as well release them here anyhow.

Was not expecting modern Donkey Kong Country enemies to be made. You plan on making any more from the newer Donkey Kong Country games or is that a onetime thing?

Preferably, but like with most of the NPCs in this pack, it just depends on whether or not I can get access to SMW or SMB3 versions of their sprites and if they look good. In the case of the ghost rope it was a modification of the original sprite, and I figured that it would be best to do it that way because of how richly detailed it is originally anyway.

Released an update to the Tikis, adding two new variants: Tiki Bomber and Tiki Boing. Please redownload them if you haven't already.

Are Minecarts on the docket or no?

Made a minor change to the tiki buzz NPCs, they can now have their initial x and y speed set so you dont need to place them on a redirector.

I'm really enjoying these Tikis. I always laugh when a Tiki Torch gets dunked in water.

Are there any plans to create NPCs that are affected by global variables, such as:
Rock Crocs who stop and go depending on whether a stop and go barrel is hit.
Fueled Platforms that fuel up when you hit a fuel barrel and fall when it runs out of fuel.
Kackle who chases you and will attack you after a timer is up unless you collect + or - time barrels.
