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.

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.
