Floppy Fish

The Floppy Fish, similar to the Balloon Fish, is a recurring enemy which will leap out of the water to eat players if they get too close. It appears in Balloon Kid and Balloon Fight GB.
== Appearance ==
Consistent through every depiction, the Floppy Fish is an almost spherical fish with a large mouth, as well as large bulging eyes. However, depending on the depiction, the color varies. On the box art for Balloon Kid, it is mostly red, with the underbelly being white. According to the art in the manual, as well as promotional art for Balloon Fight GB, it is green with white fins and lips. In-game, it is either grayscale on a standard Game Boy, red when viewed on the Super Game Boy or Game Boy Color with the default palette, or blue in Balloon Fight GB when played on a Game Boy Color.
Like most of the graphics in Hello Kitty World, the Floppy Fish's design was changed drastically. Although its body is about the same shape and size, its mouth is much smaller, and the body is fully pink.
== Function ==
If either Alice or Samm gets near the surface of the water, the Floppy Fish will jump out and open its mouth. If it touches the player, they will be caught and dragged back into the water, causing them to lose both Balloons and lose a life.
In Hello Kitty World, although the Floppy Fish still leaps out of the water, its mouth is too small to actually eat the player, and it only bounces the player upward.
== Description ==
In the manual for Balloon Kid, both the Floppy Fish and Flicky Frog are given a shared description:
"Sea to sea you better not blunder, because these two will pull you under."
== Trivia ==
* The Floppy Fish doesn't appear in stage 4, the Whale.
* In stage 7, the Cave, Flicky Frog appears instead of the Floppy Fish.
* The design of the Floppy Fish is similar to Cheep Cheeps, a species of fish seen in the Super Mario franchise.
