{{Quote|These are called Drifter monsters!|[[King Dedede (anime character)|King Dedede]], in [[Escargoon Rules]]}} | |||
In ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'', Floaty the Drifter (here just called '''Drifter''') makes an appearance as a [[monster]] in the episode [[Escargoon Rules]]. [[King Dedede (anime character)|King Dedede]] brings out a bunch of them in order to make a fool of [[Escargoon]] as he pretends to be King of [[Dream Land (anime)|Dream Land]] for [[Escargoon's mother|his mother]]. [[Kirby (anime character)|Kirby]] defends the two snails by inhaling some of the Drifters to gain the [[Parasol]] ability, then using his parasol to bat away the rest of them. | |||
Drifters are very similar to their appearance in the games, and unlike most other monsters, are easily dispatched. They don't appear to be particularly threatening, as their only powers are flying around and wrapping themselves over their targets. They catch fire easily, as evidenced when King Dedede loses his last one to a set of firework explosions. | |||
