Flitters are enemies in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. They behave identically in both games. Flitters are aerial enemies always found flying in midair. Some Flitters remain in their current position, other ones fly endlessly to the left, and few even circle around an item they are guarding. There are a few instances where a couple of Flitters are sorted in a long line, such as at the end of [[Bramble Scramble (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Bramble Scramble]] or in one of [[Topsail Trouble (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Topsail Trouble]]'s [[Bonus Level]]s, and the [[Kong]]s can bounce from them to cross areas that they cannot do alone. Flitters can be defeated either from being [[jump]]ed on, being hit by a projectile, or from the effects of the [[Invincibility Barrel]].
In ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', Flitters first appear in the level, [[Topsail Trouble (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Topsail Trouble]] of [[Gangplank Galleon (world)|Gangplank Galleon]], and appear in at least one level of every world, including [[Screech's Sprint (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Screech's Sprint]] of [[The Flying Krock]]. Flitters are most prominent in the swamp levels.


Flitters are basic, airborne enemies which [[Diddy Kong|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 [[Necky]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and [[Hogwash the Flying Pig|Hogwash]]es from ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''.
===''DK'' series===
Flitters are enemies 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.


There are a few instances where a couple of Flitters are sorted in a long line, such as at the end of [[Bramble Scramble (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Bramble Scramble]], or in a "Destroy Them All!"

The [[Kong]]s can bounce on these Flitters to cross gaps that are usually unable to do by themselves.

Flitters, also referred to as Dragonflies,[1] are enemies introduced in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. They are large, blue dragonflies.

History[edit]

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest / Donkey Kong Land 2[edit]

Flitter
Artwork from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, showing a Flitter's original design

Flitters are enemies in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2. They behave identically in both games. Flitters are aerial enemies always found flying in midair. Some Flitters remain in their current position, other ones fly endlessly to the left, and few even circle around an item they are guarding. 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 one of Topsail Trouble's Bonus Levels, and the Kongs can bounce from them to cross areas that they cannot do alone. Flitters can be defeated either from being jumped on, being hit by a projectile, or from the effects of the Invincibility Barrel.

DK series[edit]

Flitters are enemies 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.

Unused appearances[edit]

Some Flitters appear in the trailer for the canceled Donkey Kong Racing, during the part where the logo is displayed.
