Bitesizes are small fish enemies with a piranha-like design and a reddish belly that appear in the underwater levels of Donkey Kong Country. Bitesizes are as strong as other underwater enemies, such as Chomps, as a Bitesize can hurt Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, and even Enguarde by touching them. Bitesizes are either encountered by themselves, in pairs, or in large schools. Bitesizes either swim left or right in a single direction, or move back and forth in an established pattern, both at differing speeds. All Bitesizes drift slightly up or down while moving. Bitesizes can only be defeated from Enguarde's sharp bill.

Bitesizes additionally appear in the Funky's Fishing minigame in both the Game Boy Color version and Game Boy Advance version. In the first remake, red, yellow, green, and regular Bitesizes are among the fish to capture, and identically colored Bitesizes can be caught for combos; multi-colored Bitesizes that repeatedly flash between all three colors also appear, and they can be fished in with other Bitesizes for added combos. The second remake adds blue Bitesizes, and Funky hosts specific challenges in the main adventure that involve either catching Bitesizes or trying to not catch them.
