Flapper the Parrot

Flapper the Parrot is a blue parrot found in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2.

Flapper only appears in one level in both games, called "Parrot Chute Panic". Here he aids Diddy and Dixie Kong be grabbing onto them and slowly descending down a large Zinger hive. Though Flapper's assistance seems unecessary it is actually quite needed as without Flapper the Kongs would descend the Zinger hive uncontrollably and probably land on a Zinger or something equally nasty.

Flapper is not to be confused with Squeaks an identical parrot with different abilities from Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble and Donkey Kong Land 3.

Trivia

• The name Flapper is derived from one of Swanky Kong's Bonus Bananza rounds in Donkey Kong Country 2. When asked what your parrot buddy's name was, you were given the choice between Squawks, Squeaks, and Flapper. The last two names became fan names for Flapper and Squeawks.

• It is unknown if there is just one Flapper that carries the Kongs throughout "Parrot Chute Panic" or if there are multiple Flappers that aid the Kongs through the level.

• Suprisingly, Flapper isn't seen in the Animal Buddy credits of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. This is why he has no official name yet.
