'''Flotsam''' is an enemy from [[Rusty Bucket Bay]] in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''. It hangs on the walls of ''[[The Rusty Bucket]]'' and disguises itself as a flotation ring, springing to life if [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] get too close and bouncing after them.


Although its bright colors make it relatively easy to spot, it can be hard to avoid if you round a corner and one happens to be there. Interesting enough, this enemy is immune to the [[Beak Bomb]] ability.

Flotsams appear throughout [[Rusty Bucket Bay]] and its entrance in [[Gruntilda's Lair]].

While Flotsams can be sometimes tricky to spot, they can be easily defeated with attacks such as the [[Rat-a-tat Rap]], but are unaffected by [[Beak Bomb]].


The best way to deal with them is simply attacking them with a well-timed [[Rat-a-tat Rap]]. When defeated, the Floatsam will comically deflate before vanishing.
