'''Puftups''' are {{wp|porcupinefish|porcupine fish}}<ref name=PorcupineFish>{{media link|DKC general naming.jpg|Early ''Donkey Kong Country'' general naming sheet}}</ref> enemies that inhabit the waters of [[Crocodile Isle]] and the bog in [[Ghost Island]]. They first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Puftup's name is a reference to its ability to get "puffed up". A similar enemy, [[Pufftup]], appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''. | |||
==History== | |||
===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''=== | |||
In ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', Puftups appear in many underwater levels. When [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] approach a Puftup, it puffs itself up. Depending on their color, some Puftups puff themselves up until they explode and release spikes in four direction; if a blue-tinted Puftup explodes, its spikes are unleashed in every cardinal direction, and if a green-tinted Puftup explodes, its spikes are unleashed in every ordinal direction. The brown Puftups do not explode, and they deflate themselves shortly after inflating. Puftups can be defeated by [[Enguarde the Swordfish]], although he is still vulnerable to Puftup's spikes. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|remake]], all Puftups are brown, regardless of behavior. | |||
During the end credits' cast of characters, Puftups are featured under the "[[Submerged Seadogs]]" category. | |||
===''Donkey Kong Land 2''=== | |||
Puftups make a second appearance in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. Unlike their previous appearance, Puftups never explode to attack. They commonly swim up and down puffing in and out. | |||
===''Donkey Kong 64''=== | |||
[[File:Puftup64.jpg|left|thumb|A Puftup in ''Donkey Kong 64'']] | |||
Puftups return as underwater enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' and were changed to purple. Puftups are usually stationary and act more like hazards than enemies: if the active Kong approaches a Puftup, it explodes like an aquatic mine. [[Puftoss]], the boss of [[Gloomy Galleon]] and fourth overall boss, is a large Puftup. During the boss fight against [[King Kut Out]], a few Puftups appear in the surrounding water, though unlike in other levels, they are mobile. | |||
===''DK: Jungle Climber''=== | |||
In ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]'', Puftups were changed to silver. When a Puftup is deflated, [[Donkey Kong]] and Diddy Kong can perform a charge attack to defeat it. | |||

==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
*In the game ''Banjo-Tooie'' | [[File:SwellBelly_Puffed.png|thumb|A Swellbelly]] | ||
*Puftups were [[List of Donkey Kong Country pre-release and unused content|originally]] going to appear in ''Donkey Kong Country'',<ref name=PorcupineFish/> with blue tail and fins, but were removed from the final version.<ref>[http://tcrf.net/Donkey_Kong_Country/Unused_Object_Graphics TCRF article]</ref> | |||
*In the [[Rare Ltd.|Rareware]] game ''[[jiggywikki:Banjo-Tooie|Banjo-Tooie]]'', the ''Donkey Kong 64'' Puftups were recycled into the [[jiggywikki:Swellbelly|Swellbelly]] enemy. The Swellbelly almost acts exactly the same as Puftups from ''Donkey Kong 64'': the only differences are that it is orange, has green eyes and mouth instead of red, and is fought slightly differently, swelling larger but not exploding. | |||
