| |
| In ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', 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]]''.
| |
|
| |
|
| 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!" [[Bonus Area]] challenge like in [[Topsail Trouble (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Topsail Trouble]]. The [[Kong]]s can bounce on these Flitters to cross gaps that are usually unable to do by themselves.

| | '''Flitters''' are dragonfly enemies that first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. These flying insects primarily live in the swamps of [[Crocodile Isle]]; however, Flitters can be found all over the [[Kremling]] home island. These enemies are commonly used as air-grunts by the [[Kremling Krew]]. As such, Flitters spend their days flying in the air, on the look-out for [[K. Rool]]’s enemies. Flitters perform the same function as [[Necky|Neckies]] and [[Hogwash]]es from other games in the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' & [[Donkey Kong Land (series)|''Donkey Kong Land'']] series. |

| ===''Donkey Kong Land 2''===
| | For [[Diddy Kong]] and his girlfriend [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]], Flitters are among the weakest enemies in the Kremling Krew. In fact, just jumping is enough to defeat one. Flitters also don’t actively attack the [[Kong]] duo; they simply follow their flight paths, hitting anything in their way. While some Flitters fly in a straight line, other Flitters fly around in circles, guarding an important item. However, most Flitters are stationary, hovering in one place. Often, Flitters group themselves in long lines. As such, Dixie and Diddy can use this group enemies to reach some special spots, almost inaccessible for the Kongs. |
| Flitters reappear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', behaving identically as in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''. They appear in the following levels: | | |
| | Flitters also appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', where they act the same as they did in ''Donkey Kong Country 2''. |

| | Flitters returned in the game ''[[DK: King of Swing]]''. In this game, a charge attack can defeat one, as jumping on them won't do anything. They also appear in ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]''. |
