Blue Finleys are first encountered in [[Mangrove Cove]], where they are the very first enemy encountered by [[Donkey Kong]] on his adventure. Blue Finleys can be found solitary or in groups.

==Description==
In [[Rocket Rails]], Blue Finleys demonstrate the ability to swim in midair. The playable [[Kong]] can defeat a Blue Finley by [[stomp]]ing on it. Blue Finleys may also serve as improvised platforms to get across wide chasms; one of the level's [[Puzzle Piece (Donkey Kong Country series)|Puzzle Piece]]s can be collected only by jumping on a Blue Finley.
Blue Finleys are either found solitary or in small schools. They are large and stout, and are about the height of Donkey Kong. They sport short pointy fins and give off different facial expressions that either denote angriness or restlessness.
 
Blue Finleys act similarly to [[Bitesize]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', as they do not directly target the Kongs. Blue Finleys swim around in a pattern of either a vertical, horizontal, or even a circular path, as shown in [[Deep Keep]]. If the Kongs swim into a Blue Finley, it bites them, therefore injuring them and taking away a [[Heart (item)#Donkey Kong franchise|Heart]]. A Blue Finley can be defeated by either the [[Corkscrew (Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze)|Corkscrew]] move or a cane attack by [[Cranky Kong]].
 
There is only one time in the game when Blue Finleys can be found outside the water; that is, [[Rocket Rails]]. Here, they merely float in midair, and can be [[stomp]]ed on to defeat them. This way, they may also serve as improvised platforms, helping pass wide chasms.
 
Blue Finleys have red-colored relatives named [[Red Finley]]s, who behave similarly but have the ability to travel underwater more quickly.

Blue Finleys[1] are enemies in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and its Nintendo Switch port. They appear in many levels, usually those that primarily occur underwater or at seaside. These light-blue fish are members of the Finley family. Blue Finleys are first encountered in Mangrove Cove, where they are the very first enemy encountered by Donkey Kong on his adventure. Blue Finleys can be found solitary or in groups. They swim around in a variety of patterns, as shown in Deep Keep, without trying to target the Kongs. If the Kongs swim into a Blue Finley, it bites them and takes away a Heart. A Blue Finley can be defeated by either the Corkscrew move or a cane attack by Cranky Kong.

In Rocket Rails, Blue Finleys demonstrate the ability to swim in midair. The playable Kong can defeat a Blue Finley by stomping on it. Blue Finleys may also serve as improvised platforms to get across wide chasms; one of the level's Puzzle Pieces can be collected only by jumping on a Blue Finley.
