Role in game
Flingers are the fifth enemy type introduced in the game, and are first encountered in the level "Three... Thousands Miles to Shell City." They hover in the air, and their levitation device makes them immune to SpongeBob and Patrick's spin attacks. They also spit a blob of goo at them, leaving a puddle if it lands on the ground. The goo damages SpongeBob or Patrick, and also makes them slide around for a couple of seconds.
They can only be defeated by hitting them from below with SpongeBob's bash or hitting them with thrown stuff from Patrick's throw move. They can also have their goo spun back at them, if SpongeBob or Patrick's spin attacks are upgraded.
They are defeated after two hits, and the Hillbilly Flingers give the player 80 Manliness Points when defeated, while the Trench Flingers give the player 45 Manliness Points.
Trivia
- They are most likely based on the Monsoon from Battle for Bikini Bottom, as they both hover above the ground.
