==Appearance==
==Description==
Blue Finleys are colored with a light-blue hue and might be found either solitary or in small schools. They are stout and approximately the size of [[Donkey Kong]]. They sport short pointy fins and also have expressions which denote angriness or restlessness.
Blue Finleys can be found solitary or in groups. They swim around in a variety of patterns, as shown in [[Deep Keep]], without trying to target the [[Kong]]s. If the Kongs swim into a Blue Finley, it bites them and takes away a [[Heart (item)#Donkey Kong franchise|Heart]]. A Blue Finley can be defeated by either the [[Corkscrew (Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze)|Corkscrew]] move or a cane attack by [[Cranky Kong]].


==Behavior and combat==
In [[Rocket Rails]], Blue Finleys demonstrate the ability to swim in midair. The playable [[Kong]] can defeat a Blue Finley by [[stomp]]ing on it. Blue Finleys may also serve as improvised platforms to get across wide chasms; one of the level's [[Puzzle Piece (Donkey Kong Country series)|Puzzle Piece]]s can be collected only by jumping on a Blue Finley.
Some Blue Finleys swim in straight lines, which can be either vertical or horizontal, while other members of the species follow cirular paths, as seen in [[Deep Keep]]. A bump with a Blue Finley results in the enemy biting and injuring the Kongs, taking away a heart point. However, a [[Corkscrew (Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze)|Corkscrew]] move or a cane attack by [[Cranky Kong]] can defeat a Blue Finley.


There is only one time in the game when Blue Finleys can be found outside the water; that is, [[Rocket Rails]]. Here, they merely float in midair, representing not only obstacles for the [[Cart|minecart]] driving player, but also as platform improvisations he or she can [[stomp]] on to proceed. A single stomp is necessary to defeat an aerian Blue Finley.

Blue Finleys have red-colored relatives called [[Red Finley]]s, which travel faster underwater. Together, they can be compared to other pairs of submerged enemies from past ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' titles, such as blue and light-green [[Flotsam]]s, or green and red [[Koco]]s.

Description[edit]

Blue Finleys can be found solitary or in groups. They swim around in a variety of patterns, as shown in Deep Keep, without trying to target the Kongs. If the Kongs swim into a Blue Finley, it bites them and takes away a Heart. A Blue Finley can be defeated by either the Corkscrew move or a cane attack by Cranky Kong.

In Rocket Rails, Blue Finleys demonstrate the ability to swim in midair. The playable Kong can defeat a Blue Finley by stomping on it. Blue Finleys may also serve as improvised platforms to get across wide chasms; one of the level's Puzzle Pieces can be collected only by jumping on a Blue Finley.
