In ''Donkey Kong 64'', Bats appear in [[Fungi Forest]] during nighttime, in [[Creepy Castle]], and in [[Crystal Caves]]. [[Zinger]]s replace Bats during the daytime in Fungi Forest. Bats attack the active [[Kong]] by quickly swooping at them. While Bats resemble the dive-bombing variants of Zingers, they will respawn compared to their counterparts. The Kongs can defeat Bats by either blasting them with their weapon, using their musical instrument, or by throwing an [[orange]]. They are not to be confused with the generic violet-colored bats found in dark places throughout the game, which are smaller and harmless.

===''DK: King of Swing''===
Since ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'', Bats have been renamed to Flipflaps, and were given a slight redesign to have a more purplish body and a larger head. Flipflaps are enemies first encountered in [[Contraption Cave]], and they most commonly appear in cave levels. They fly back and forth in either a vertical or horizontal line while swaying slightly. Flipflaps can damage the player upon contact; however, unlike in ''Donkey Kong 64'', they do not attempt to directly target the player with an attack. The player can defeat a Flipflap by performing a charge attack.
