'''Flotsams''' are spotted stingrays that inhabit the waters of [[Crocodile Isle]]. Their name is derived from the word "flotsam", which is leftovers from a shipwreck. | |||
Flotsams come in two colors: blue and green. Blue Flotsam swim in only one direction, while the green Flotsam can change their direction from left to right, especially after reaching a wall. | |||

In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', Flotsams are one of the most common underwater enemies in the game, encountered in almost every water-involved level. They simply float through the water and make no real effort in attacking [[Diddy Kong]] or [[Dixie Kong]]. However if the [[Kong]]s are in the path of a Flotsam, it will continue to swim forward, not needing to avoid contact. Flotsams can only be defeated with help from [[Enguarde]]. | |||
In the [[Game Boy Advance]] [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|version]], blue Flotsams are recolored purple, while green ones are changed to yellow. | |||

A Flotsam makes a brief cameo in Volume 14 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. The last part of the book has a series of comics based on ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', including a 'find the differences' activity between several enemies, including Flotsam. | A Flotsam makes a brief cameo in Volume 14 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''.

*The manual for ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' misspells Flotsam's name as '''Floatsam''' in the same section where it is titled "Flotsam". The manuals for the Game Boy Advance version and ''Donkey Kong Land 2'' use "Flotsam" in both instances. | |||
