History
Donkey Kong series
Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest/Donkey Kong Land 2
In both Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2, Flapper only appears in one level, where he slowly descends with Diddy and Dixie Kong through a Zinger hive.
Though Flapper's assistance seems unnecessary, it is actually quite needed as without Flapper, the Kongs would descend the Zinger hive uncontrollably, and probably land on a Zinger. It is sometimes easier to use Dixie Kong to float down though. Flapper has no way to defend himself, so it's important that the player doesn't collide with any enemies while descending. It should also be pointed out that Flapper will release the Kongs after getting past certain parts of a level. However, the player can release Flapper early if they wanted to.
