'''Flitters''' are large, blue {{wp|dragonfly}} enemies who first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''.

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]].
[[File:DK2Flitter.jpg|thumb|Artwork from ''Donkey Kong Country 2'']]
In ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', Flitters first appear in the level, [[Topsail Trouble (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Topsail Trouble]] of [[Gangplank Galleon (world)|Gangplank Galleon]], and appear in at least one level of every world, including [[Screech's Sprint (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Screech's Sprint]] of [[The Flying Krock]]. Flitters are most prominent in the swamp levels.


===''DK'' series===
Flitters are basic, airborne enemies which [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]] can easily defeat by either jumping on it, throwing a projectile at it, or while using an [[Invincibility Barrel]]. Flitters always remain afloat in the air; some Flitters remain in their current position, other ones fly endlessly to the left, and few even circle around an item they are guarding. Flitters act the same as [[Necky]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and [[Hogwash the Flying Pig|Hogwash]]es from ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''.
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===
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: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Bramble Scramble]], or in a "Destroy Them All!" [[Bonus Area]] challenge like in [[Topsail Trouble (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Topsail Trouble]]. The [[Kong]]s can bounce on these Flitters to cross gaps that are usually unable to do by themselves.
Some Flitters appear in the trailer for the canceled ''[[Donkey Kong Racing]]'', during the part where the logo is displayed.

Flitters reappear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', where they act the same as in their previous appearance.
