History

Donkey Kong series

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest

In Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, Squitter can shoot webbing from his mouth, either as a projectile to hurt enemies or to make temporary platforms that can be used to reach high areas or cross gaps; however, he cannot jump on enemies and his jumping ability is actually worse than the Kongs.

Levels: Squitter has a level dedicated to him in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest (Web Woods), which makes frequent use of his ability to spin web platforms.

Donkey Kong Land 2

In Donkey Kong Land 2, Squitter still lacks the ability to jump on enemies, so he has to fire webs at them to take them out.

Levels:

Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!

In Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, Squitter appears in several of the levels in the Northern Kremisphere, most commonly in factory-setting levels. In this game, Squitter can now jump on enemies to defeat them, but he still can't jump on the enemies that are immune to Dixie's and Kiddy's jump attacks, such as the Buzzes.

Levels: Squitter has a stage centered around him in this game as well (Krack Shot Kroc).

Donkey Kong Land III

In Donkey Kong Land III, Squitter maintains the ability to jump on enemies to defeat them.

Trivia

  • Squitter is one of the few spiders in the Donkey Kong games to actually have eight legs, whereas most others simply have six. Despite this, Squitter still lacks some spider features, such as multiple eyes and chelicerae.
  • The eight pairs of shoes Squitter wears resemble the one worn by Expresso the Ostrich, another Animal Friend, with the shoes worn by both characters having an orange and white color scheme.
  • Squitter's name is referred to on Grunty's Tower of Tragedy quiz in Banjo-Tooie, another Rare game, as one of the possible (wrong) answers to the question What is blocking the vents in Grunty Industries' Sewer System?.
