'''Bitesizes''' are small fish [[List of enemies|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''' are small piranha-like fish that appear in the underwater levels of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. They are green in color with a reddish belly.  Although they appear fairly weak, Bitesizes can injure [[Donkey Kong]], [[Diddy Kong]], or [[Enguarde the Swordfish|Enguarde]] simply by touching the heroes (the same applies to any underwater enemy). The [[Kong]]s cannot directly defeat a Bitesize; however, Enguarde and his sword-like bill can easily beat the fish. In underwater levels, Bitesizes do not actively hunt for the heroes. Instead, the fish will either swim in one direction left or right, slightly drifting up and down, or move in an established pattern back and forth (while again drifting up and down).  Some Bitesizes swim slowly through the water, while others move at a much faster speed. Bitesizes will either appear alone, in pairs, or in large schools.


Bitesizes additionally appear in the [[Funky's Fishing]] minigame in both the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Color)|Game Boy Color version]] and [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|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.
Bitesizes appeared in three of the four underwater levels in the game.  They first appeared in the tropical waters of [[Coral Capers]] in [[Kongo Jungle]], followed by [[Clam City]] in [[Vine Valley]].  They did not appear in the level [[Croctopus Chase]] of [[Gorilla Glacier]]. However, they appear at last in [[Poison Pond]], located in [[Kremkroc Industries Inc.]]


==Profiles and statistics==
Bitesizes have the exact same mannerisms as the larger fish of [[Donkey Kong Island]], [[Chomps Jr.]] and [[Chomps]].  The only difference between the three is their size, with Bitesizes (as their name indicates) being the smallest and Chomps being the largest.

Bitesizes are also somewhat similar to [[Lockjaw]]s, found in some parts of Donkey Kong Island and neighboring [[Crocodile Isle]], as well as [[Koco]]s from the [[Northern Kremisphere]].

In the [[Game Boy Color]] and [[Game Boy Advance]] remake of ''Donkey Kong Country'', Bitesizes appeared in several challenges at [[Funky's Fishing]]. There, they came in red, blue, green and yellow varieties, whose objective was to catch groups of the same color. There were also flashing Bitesizes, which essentially served as wildcards, and would count as any color.
