History

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest/Land 2

Flotsams first appear in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest as one of the most commonly found underwater enemies in the game. They do not try to attack Diddy and Dixie, but if they come in contact with it, they become injured. Alternatively, blue ones are immobile while green ones swim back and forth. They can only be defeated by Enguarde.

Flotsams reappear in Donkey Kong Land 2 with no differences in the game.
