Flitters, also referred to as Dragonflies,[1] are large, blue dragonfly enemies which first appear in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest.

History

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest

Flitter
A Flitter, as it originally appeared in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest

In Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, Flitters are basic, airborne enemies which 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 Neckys from Donkey Kong Country and Hogwashes from Donkey Kong Land.

There are a few instances where a couple of Flitters are sorted in a long line, such as at the end of Bramble Scramble, or in a "Destroy Them All!" Bonus Area challenge like in Topsail Trouble. The Kongs can bounce on these Flitters to cross gaps that are usually unable to do by themselves.

Flitters appear in the following levels:

Donkey Kong Land 2

Flitters reappear in Donkey Kong Land 2, behaving identically as in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. They appear in the following levels:

DK series

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.
