Flotsams are enemies introduced in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. These spotted stingrays inhabit the waters of Crocodile Isle. Their name is derived from the word "flotsam", which is leftovers from a shipwreck.
History[edit]
Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest / Donkey Kong Land 2[edit]
Flotsams are enemies in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2. They behave identically in both games. Flotsams are common underwater enemies appearing in nearly every water-involved level. They simply float through the water and make no real effort in attacking Diddy Kong or Dixie Kong. However if the Kongs are in the path of a Flotsam, it will continue to swim forward, not needing to avoid contact. Flotsams can be defeated from Enguarde only.
Flotsams appear in blue and green varieties in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest only. Blue Flotsam swim in only one direction, while the green Flotsam can change their direction from left to right, especially after reaching a wall. In the remake, the blue and green Flotsams were changed to purple and yellow, respectively.
Super Mario-kun[edit]
A Flotsam makes a brief cameo in Volume 14 of Super Mario-kun. The last part of the book has a series of comics based on Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, including a 'find the differences' activity between several enemies, including Flotsam.
Donkey Konga 3 JP[edit]
In Donkey Konga 3 JP, Flotsam makes a cameo appearance in Freestyle Zone, as one of the enemies whose artwork appears on screen as the player hits the DK Bongos.
