Flurl being used as Donkey Kong's parachute.

Flurl can occasionally be found sleeping in a tree. If Donkey Kong grabs Flurl's tail, he will use Flurl like a parachute and glide through the air, which allows Donkey Kong to collect airborne beats and reach new areas that are normally unreachable without the rodent's aid.

Flurl's first appearance is in the level Jungle Deeps.
