As one of the few to first receive Flip Wreck and Fling Kong, I decided to do a first look topic on the topic like I have done to several others.



Flip Wreck's Sea Saw attack can miss an enemy when not timed at the right moment. His Wheeling and Dealing ability allows Flip Wreck to attack enemies while riding on his wheel, but he can be knocked off if he is hit. Like Thumpback and Thumpling, Flip Wreck can blow water at enemies from his blowhole using his Splash Damage attack. He can also use his Wheel as a shield and bash his enemies with it when further upgraded.

The Sword Swells upgrade path is a good option when enemies are in a tight group. The Whirlpool combo is excellent when you are surrounded as it damages enemies in a circular motion for a short while. Undersea Ambush is a perfect finisher at the end your Sword combos, and Blowhole Blaster is a must for using Splash Damage as it provides the range and increased damage it really needs.

This path allows the attacks from your Wheel Shield to expand. Fish?!? grants a powerful fish projectile attack while riding the Wheel Shield. When further upgraded, your Endless Fish allows unlimited fish to shot out and reduce your enemy's movement speed. The fish projectiles are good for covering wide areas and providing the most damage of all Flip Wreck’s attacks. Homing Fish gives a longer-range attack that sends fish flopping/homing in towards enemies.

Flip Wreck's soul gem power, Sea Slammer, allows you to slam down on your enemies when you ride on your Wheel Shield.





On to Fling Kong.




Using Fling Kong, your primary attack is throwing Power Discs at your enemies, and his secondary attack is the ability to use Fling Kong's magic carpet to dash into enemies. When further upgraded, you gain the Cymbal Crash that allows you to smash your Power Discs together and create soundwaves.

The upgrades in the Disc Jocky Path allows the Trick Shot upgrade to send Power Discs at multiple enemies and bounce off walls. Smash Hit is slightly less powerful than The Kong Klang, but does not require any charging. A Toss Up triples the damage of Power Discs and doesn’t take too long to charge, but you don’t control when it goes off.

Carpet Captain improves your Magic Carpet Dash attack. Smash ‘N’ Dash prolongs your Carpet Dash, and Shock Treatment continues to damage enemies that are caught in the Magic Carpet Dash. Double Whammy can clear your path of enemies or finish them off. Tap the direction you want to throw the discs before pressing Attack 1.

His Soul Gem Ability, Make It Rain, can do a lot of damage to enemies that are close to you with you summon Power Discs to rain down on your opponents, but charging it can leave you open for attack.

They both sound like great and original characters. I might get flip wreck over echo but I'm a super excited about Fling Kong.

They look AMAZING! Can't wait to get them!

The guy voicing Flip Wreck also sounds like Blast Zone.

Same voice actor, Flip Wreck and Blast Zone are voiced by Jess Harnell.

Cool, I was hoping that was the case. For some reason it didn't ring unique enough for me, but maybe it will grow on me.

Wonder when they'll be out in the US?

Within 2 weeks or mid May.

Tbh, when I first saw Flip Wreck, I expected him to sound a lot like Zap.

WAKKO VOICED FLIP WRECK?

I wish Fling Kong had been a Trap Master...how cool would it of been if he was fast with projectiles?
