It only appears in [[Gloomy Galleon]], where it follows the active [[Kong]] inside the sunken ships and helps them navigate its dark cabins by lighting up the path forward, much like [[Glimmer]] does in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Whenever it is nearby, a bubbling sound plays. The game's official site used the wording "a Lightfish" in reference to it, suggesting that the Lightfish is part of a species.<ref name=Lightfish/> | The '''Lightfish'''<ref name=Lightfish>Donkey Kong 64 Banana Guide.

The German strategy guide and Spanish Nintendo website both refer to the Lightfish as Glimmer;<ref name=GermanGuide /><ref name=SpanishSite /> the former also features artwork of the Lightfish with a completely different appearance, much more similar to the ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' Animal Friend. | |||
