-In ''Donkey Kong 64'', Flipflaps are encountered in [[Fungi Forest]] and [[Creepy Castle]]. Unlike [[Zinger]]s who replace Flipflaps in daylight in Fungi Forest, they lack the ability to drop [[Orange]]s. Despite this, they are still dangerous as they can quickly dive downward and attack a [[Kong]]. Flipflaps can be defeated by blasting them with a Kong's weapon, their musical instrument or an Orange grenade.
+== History ==
+===''Donkey Kong 64''===
+[[File:DK64 Bat.jpg|thumb|left|A Bat in ''Donkey Kong 64'']]
+In ''Donkey Kong 64'', Bats appear in [[Fungi Forest]] during nighttime, in [[Creepy Castle]], and in [[Crystal Caves]]. [[Zinger]]s replace Bats during the daytime in Fungi Forest. Bats attack the active [[Kong]] by quickly swooping at them. The Kongs can defeat Bats by either blasting them with their weapon, using their musical instrument, or by throwing an [[orange]]. They are not to be confused with the generic violet-colored bats found in dark places throughout the game, which are smaller and harmless.
-In ''DK: King of Swing'', Flipflaps return as enemies, commonly encountered in places such as caves. They also appeared in the racing title ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]'' as enemies found in the [[Mt. Dynamite]], [[Scorching Canyon]], [[Mt. Dynamite Remix]] and [[Dynamite Run]] race tracks. Their latest appearance is in ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]'', where they can be mostly found in eerie forests.
+===''DK: King of Swing''===
+Since ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'', Bats have been renamed to Flipflaps, and were given a slight redesign to have a more purplish body and a larger head. Flipflaps are enemies first encountered in [[Contraption Cave]], and they most commonly appear in cave levels. They fly back and forth in either a vertical or horizontal line while swaying slightly. Flipflaps can damage the player upon contact; however, unlike in ''Donkey Kong 64'', they do not attempt to directly target the player with an attack. The player can defeat a Flipflap by performing a charge attack.
+===''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast''===
+Flipflaps in ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]'' are obstacles encountered in [[Mt. Dynamite]], [[Scorching Canyon]], [[Mt. Dynamite Remix]], and [[Dynamite Run]].
+===''DK: Jungle Climber''===
+Flipflaps reappear in ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]'', where they are introduced in [[Cool Cool Cave]] and reappear mostly in caves and forest levels. Their behavior is exactly the same as in ''DK: King of Swing'', except that they only fly in a horizontal pattern. [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] can defeat Flipflaps by performing a charge jump.
