[[File: | [[File:DK2Flitter.jpg|thumb|left|180px|A Flitter, as it originally appeared in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'']] | ||
In ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', Flitters are basic, airborne enemies which [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]] can easily defeat by either jumping on it, throwing a projectile at it, or while using an [[Invincibility Barrel]]. Flitters always remain afloat in the air; some Flitters remain in their current position, other ones fly endlessly to the left, and few even circle around an item they are guarding. Flitters act the same as [[Necky]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and [[Hogwash the Flying Pig|Hogwash]]es from ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. | |||

There are a few instances where a couple of Flitters are sorted in a long line, such as at the end of [[Bramble Scramble (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Bramble Scramble]], or in a "Destroy Them All!" [[Bonus Area]] challenge like in [[Topsail Trouble (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Topsail Trouble]]. The [[Kong]]s can bounce on these Flitters to cross gaps that are usually unable to do by themselves. | There are a few instances where a couple of Flitters are sorted in a long line, such as at the end of [[Bramble Scramble (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Bramble Scramble]], or in a "Destroy Them All!"

In ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'' and ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]'', a charge attack or a Going Bananas move can defeat a Flitter, as jumping on it is ineffective. | |||
