History

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

Puftups are enemies inDonkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. They will inflate themselves whenever theKongs approach them, with blue and green-colored variants additionally being able to explode and release spikes in each cardinal and ordinal direction respectively. Brown Puftups do not explode, instead deflating themselves shortly after inflating. Puftups can be defeated byEnguarde, although he is still vulnerable to their spikes. In theremake, all Puftups are brown, regardless of behavior. In the cast roll, a Puftup is categorized under the "Submerged Seadogs" category.

Puftups are also enemies inDonkey Kong Land 2, though they can no longer explode to attack. Puftups commonly swim up and down puffing in and out.

Puftups are enemies inDonkey Kong 64. They were changed to purple. Puftups are usually stationary and act more like hazards than enemies: if the active Kong approaches a Puftup, it explodes like an aquatic mine.Puftoss, the boss ofGloomy Galleon and fourth overall boss, is a large Puftup. A few mobile Puftups appear in the surrounding water during the boss fight againstKing Kut Out.

  • InBanjo-Tooie, theDonkey Kong 64 Puftups were recycled into theSwellbelly enemy, which behaves nearly the same as Puftups fromDonkey Kong 64: The only differences are that it is orange, has green eyes and mouth instead of red, and is fought slightly differently, swelling larger but not exploding.
