A Flotsam-like boss appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'', by the name [[Wild Sting]]. It is able to move above water, and must be jumped on several times to be defeated. Alternatively, this stingray could be the creative inspiration or the forerunner of Flotsam; the two games had overlapping development periods due to both being released in 1995, so either is a possibility.

====''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''====
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', Flotsams are one of the most common underwater enemies in the game, encountered in almost every water-involved level. They simply float through the water and make no real effort in attacking [[Diddy Kong]] or [[Dixie Kong]]. However if the [[Kong]]s are in the path of a Flotsam, it will continue to swim forward, not needing to avoid contact. Flotsams can only be defeated with help from [[Enguarde the Swordfish]].
