| | When a Pufftup sees the Kongs, it swells itself to a much bigger size which can only be defeated by [[Cranky Kong]]'s cane swipe. When deflated, they are vulnerable to any attack. They are light brown and get startled when they puff up. |

| '''Pufftups'''<ref>von Esmarch, Nick, and Cory van Grier. ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 13.</ref> are underwater enemies appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' as well as its [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|port]]. They resemble real life {{wp|Tetraodontidae|pufferfish}}, due to their appearance and primary method of defense. They appear in three levels of [[Sea Breeze Cove]] - [[Amiss Abyss]], [[Irate Eight]], and [[Shoal Atoll]]. | |
| | |
| Pufftups are small, smooth and round. They are capable of inflating themselves to a much larger size. Normally, Pufftups are roughly the size of the [[Kong]]s. They have golden skin and stressed expressions. They also feature an underbite, and their mouths are framed by two thick lips.
| |
| | |
| Their name is a compound of the phrasal verb, "[[wiktionary:puff up|puffed up]]", which refers to something inflated with air. They are very similar to [[Puftup]]s, another pufferfish enemy from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', both in behavior and name.
| |
| | |
| When they inflate themselves, in addition to growing in size, Pufftups reveal numerous spikes. If the [[Kong]]s perform a [[Corkscrew (Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze)|Corkscrew]] attack on a swollen Pufftup, they risk getting damaged by the spikes. If they are stung, the Kongs lose a single [[heart]] from their health meter. During this inflated state, Pufftups are only vulnerable to [[Cranky Kong|Cranky]]'s cane swipe, which can both damage and defeat them.
| |
| | |
| When deflated, Pufftups conceal their spikes, opening them to attacks such as Corkscrews, though simply coming into contact with a Pufftup can harm the Kongs. Pufftups swell and shrink at irregular times, as they swim from side to side and traverse only a certain small distance underwater. | |
