'''Flitters''', also referred to as '''Dragonflies''',<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) Issue #34|date=January 1996|page={{file link|NMS AUS issue 34 page 20 excerpt.jpg|20}}}}</ref> are [[List of enemies|enemies]] introduced in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. They are large, blue {{iw|wikipedia|dragonfly|dragonflies}}.

==History==
===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' / ''Donkey Kong Land 2''===
[[File:DK2Flitter.jpg|thumb|left|180px|Artwork from ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', showing a Flitter's original design]]
Flitters are enemies in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. They behave identically in both games. Flitters are aerial enemies always found flying in midair. Some Flitters remain in their current position, other ones fly endlessly to the left, and few even circle around an item they are guarding. There are a few instances where a couple of Flitters are sorted in a long line, such as at the end of [[Bramble Scramble (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Bramble Scramble]] or in one of [[Topsail Trouble (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Topsail Trouble]]'s [[Bonus Level]]s, and the [[Kong]]s can bounce from them to cross areas that they cannot do alone. Flitters can be defeated either from being [[jump]]ed on, being hit by a projectile, or from the effects of the [[Invincibility Barrel]].

===''DK'' series===
Flitters are enemies in ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'' and ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]''. A charge attack or a Going Bananas move can defeat a Flitter, as jumping on it is ineffective.

===Unused appearances===
Some Flitters appear in the trailer for the canceled ''[[Donkey Kong Racing]]'', during the part where the logo is displayed.
