==History==
'''Flitters''' are large, blue {{wp|dragonfly}} enemies who first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''.

== History ==
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]]''.

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 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.
