(Wouldn't have noticed without looking through the game files, but the Japanese name is one character off and makes a pun. Apparently, the European translators misread it.)

Flurl being used as Donkey Kong's parachute.

Flurl can occasionally be found sleeping in a tree. If Donkey Kong grabs Flurl's tail, he will use Flurl like a parachute and glide through the air, which allows Donkey Kong to collect airborne beats and reach new areas that are normally unreachable without the rodent's aid.

Flurl's first appearance is in the level Jungle Deeps.
