'''Bitesizes''' are small fish [[List of enemies|enemies]] with a piranha-like design and a reddish belly that appear in the underwater levels of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. Bitesizes are as strong as other underwater enemies, such as [[Chomps]], as a Bitesize can hurt [[Donkey Kong]], [[Diddy Kong]], and even [[Enguarde]] by touching them. Bitesizes are either encountered by themselves, in pairs, or in large schools. Bitesizes either swim left or right in a single direction, or move back and forth in an established pattern, both at differing speeds. All Bitesizes drift slightly up or down while moving. Bitesizes can only be defeated from Enguarde's sharp bill.
==Description==
[[File:Coral Capers SNES 4.png|thumb|left|256px|The Kongs swim past a Bitesize in Coral Capers]]
Although they appear fairly weak, Bitesizes are as strong as other underwater enemies, including larger ones like [[Chomps]]. This is because Bitesizes are capable of injuring [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] by swimming into them, even to [[Enguarde the Swordfish|Enguarde]]. The Kongs cannot defeat Bitesizes by themselves, but Enguarde can defeat Bitesizes by stabbing them with his sharp bill.  


Bitesizes appear in three levels: [[Coral Capers]], [[Clam City]], and lastly [[Poison Pond]]. The only underwater level that does not have any Bitesizes is [[Croctopus Chase]].
Bitesizes do not directly target the [[Kong]]s, and either swim left or right in a single direction, or move back and forth in an established pattern. Some Bitesizes move through the water slowly, while others go at a much faster speed. Regardless of their pattern, every Bitesize drifts slightly up or down while moving around. Bitesizes either appear by themselves, in pairs, or in large schools.


Additionally, both the [[Game Boy Color]] and [[Game Boy Advance]] versions include Bitesizes in the [[Funky's Fishing]] minigame. Bitesizes somewhat differ between the two iterations of Funky's Fishing, let alone the minigame itself. In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Color)|Game Boy Color version]], red, blue, yellow, green, and regular Bitesizes are among the fish to capture, and Donkey Kong has to simultaneously catch identically colored Bitesizes. Multi-colored Bitesizes that repeatedly flash between red, blue, yellow, and green sometimes appear on-screen, and they can be fished in with other Bitesizes for an added combo. Bitesizes have the same role as in the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance port]], if played from the main menu's Extras sub-menu, but in the main adventure, Funky hosts specific challenges that either involve catching Bitesizes, or even avoiding them.
Bitesizes appear in three of the four underwater levels, starting with [[Coral Capers]], then [[Clam City]], and lastly [[Poison Pond]]. The only underwater stage to not have any Bitesizes is [[Croctopus Chase]].

Bitesizes appear in the [[Funky's Fishing]] minigame in both the [[Game Boy Color]] and [[Game Boy Advance]] ports of ''Donkey Kong Country''. The minigame is somewhat different between the two ports, which therefore includes Bitesizes. In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Color)|Game Boy Color version]], there are red, blue, yellow, green, and regular Bitesizes that Donkey Kong must fish for. His objective is to simultaneously catch Bitesizes of the same color. Sometimes multi-colored Bitesizes that flash between the aforementioned colors (except their standard appearance) appear on-screen, and they can be fished in with other Bitesizes for an added combo. In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance port]], Bitesizes have the same role in Funky's Fishing if played from the main menu's Extras sub-menu. However, there are additional Funky's Fishing challenges in the main game, and a couple involve catching Bitesizes, or even avoiding them.
 
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Donkey Kong Country 3]]'' for the Game Boy Advance, the colored Bitesizes make a cameo during the opening titles, swimming around as the [[Knautilus]] speeds by, as well as in the file select menu.
