'''Flappers'''<ref name="Shogakukan">[[Media:Flapper.jpg|''Super Donkey Kong GB Shogakukan Guide Book'']]</ref> are underwater, mussel-like foes that appear exclusively in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. They commonly dwell the second world, [[Kremlantis]], and return in numerous other underwater areas of the same game.  

When attacking, a Flapper will clap its mantle together and propel itself upwards. After it reaches a point high enough, it will slowly begin to sink. If a [[Kong]] touches this enemy while it is moving through the water, he gets injured and passes out. Flappers are often encountered in groups and swim in tight spaces to increase difficulty.

None of the English ''Donkey Kong Land''-related material refer to Flappers as such or give them a proper name. However, they are repeatedly described as '''sea creatures''' in issue #74 of ''[[Nintendo Power]]''<ref>"A '''sea creature''' chases you down into the depths when you swim for the letter 'K', but don't be intimidated— wait at the bottom of the pit until he slowly swims away." &ndash; page 18</ref><ref>"These '''sea creatures''' swim faster up than down." &ndash; page 19</ref>. This descriptor is not used for other acquatic enemies found in the game.
