'''Flappers'''<ref name="Shogakukan">{{Media link|Flapper.jpg|''Super Donkey Kong GB Shogakukan Guide Book''}}</ref> are underwater, mussel-like foes that appear exclusively in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. They commonly dwell the second world, [[Kremlantis]], and return in numerous other underwater areas of the same game. | |||
When attacking, a Flapper claps its mantle together and propel itself upwards. After it reaches a point high enough, it slowly begins to sink. If a [[Kong]] touches this enemy while it is moving through the water, he gets injured and passes out. Flappers are often encountered in groups and swim in tight spaces to increase difficulty. | |||

None of the English ''Donkey Kong Land''-related material refer to Flappers as such. However, they are repeatedly described as '''sea creatures''' in Volume 74 of ''[[Nintendo Power]]''<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 74, page 18. "''A '''sea creature''' chases you down into the depths when you swim for the letter 'K', but don't be intimidated— wait at the bottom of the pit until he slowly swims away.''"</ref><ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 74, page 19. "''These '''sea creatures''' swim faster up than down.''"</ref>. This descriptor is not used for other aquatic enemies found in the game. The free 24-page booklet of ''Donkey Kong Land'' from UK's ''Nintendo Magazine System'' instead refers to it as '''Nemo''', which is the name of a separate enemy referred to on the same page as [[Nemo|Nautilus]].<ref>''Donkey Kong Land'', ''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) WORLD EXCLUSIVE Review booklet, page 13.</ref> | |||
