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 brings out a bunch of them in order to make a fool of Escargoon as he pretends to be King of Dream Land for his mother. 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.
