Flying Anchovy flaps in place, awaiting the player. Once the player has entered its horizontal view at Mach 2 or lower, it'll charge at them in a straight line, hurting the player on contact only stopping once it hits a wall, becoming stunned on the impact, or is stunned by a player's jump. While stunned, Flying Anchovy loses the ability to fly for a short bit before returning in the air to strike once more. Flying Anchovy will become defeated when hit at Mach 2 or higher, thrown after a grab, thrown another enemy, hit by most [[transformations]], or in contact with some environmental hazards like Boiling Sauce and [[Outlet]]s.
