'''Puftups''' are blowfish enemies that inhabit the waters of [[Crocodile Isle]] and the bog in [[Ghost Island]]. They first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Puftup's name is a reference to its ability to get "puffed up". A similarly named pufferfish enemy, [[Pufftup]], appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''.

===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''===
Puftups are enemies in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''. Puftups puff themselves up whenever the [[Kong]]s approach them. Depending on their color, some Puftups puff themselves up until they explode and release spikes in four direction; if a blue-tinted Puftup explodes, its spikes are unleashed in every cardinal direction, and if a green-tinted Puftup explodes, its spikes are unleashed in every ordinal direction. The brown Puftups do not explode, and they deflate themselves shortly after inflating. Puftups can be defeated by [[Enguarde]], although he is still vulnerable to Puftup's spikes. In the [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|remake]], all Puftups are brown, regardless of behavior. In the cast roll, a Puftup is categorized under the "[[Submerged Seadogs]]" category.
In ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', Puftups appear in many underwater levels. When [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] approach a Puftup, it inflates itself up. Some Puftups explode after inflating, causing them to unleash spikes in four directions. The Puftups who do not explode deflate themselves shortly after inflating. Puftups can be defeated by [[Enguarde the Swordfish]], though it is still vulnerable to Puftup's spikes.


Puftups are also enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. The only difference is that they never explode to attack. Puftups commonly swim up and down puffing in and out.
When the blue Puftups explode, the spikes spread in the cardinal directions. When the green Puftups explode, the spikes spread in the ordinal directions. The red Puftups do not explode.
 
During the end credits' cast of characters, Puftups are featured under the "[[Submerged Seadogs]]" category.
 
===''Donkey Kong Land 2''===
Puftups make a second appearance in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. Unlike their previous appearance, Puftups do not explode to attack.

Puftups are enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. They were changed to purple. Puftups are usually stationary and act more like hazards than enemies: if the active Kong approaches a Puftup, it explodes like an aquatic mine. [[Puftoss]], the boss of [[Gloomy Galleon]] and fourth overall boss, is a large Puftup. A few mobile Puftups appear in the surrounding water during the boss fight against [[King Kut Out]].

*Puftups were originally going to appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', with blue tail and fins, but were removed from the final version.<ref>[http://tcrf.net/Donkey_Kong_Country/Unused_Object_Graphics TCRF article]</ref>
*In ''[[jiggywikki:Banjo-Tooie|Banjo-Tooie]]'', the ''Donkey Kong 64'' Puftups were recycled into the [[jiggywikki:Swellbelly|Swellbelly]] enemy, which behaves nearly the same as Puftups from ''Donkey Kong 64'': The only differences are that it is orange, has green eyes and mouth instead of red, and is fought slightly differently, swelling larger but not exploding.
