Origin[]
The move originates from Baron K. Roolensteins jetpack in Donkey Kong Country 3. His jetpack consists of a backpack with a propeller on the back that helps the user fly. King K. Rools free-fall animation after the move (him flapping his hands while falling) is also a reference to Baron K. Roolensteins hurt animation when his jetpack is hit with barrels.
