In Super Mario: Donkey Kong 2, a Rappy is seen with the other enemies building the Tower and attacking Mario and friends in chapter 2 until Monchee interveens; and in chapter 3 one is seen helping the Kongs fight the Kremling Krew, until DK and Donkey Kong Snr. are knocked out, causing the Kong army to retreat after the defeat of their leaders.

You can touch him and he won't do any damage, but don't get too close to Ottō. If you get close to him, he will stretch out his long legs and try to bite you. If you get pinched, press a button to escape.
