Rattly's body is coiled up like a spring, which he bounces on to move around. Rattly's main attribute is the ability to bounce high, and because of this, he has been considered a successor to [[Winky]] from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''.

| | |
| | '''Rattly the Rattlesnake''' is an [[Animal Buddy]] in the [[Donkey Kong (series)|''Donkey Kong'' series]] who first appeared in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''; despite being an inhabitant of [[Crocodile Isle]], Rattly is allied with the [[Kong Family]] and is described as "rebelling" against the reptilian [[Kremling Krew]]. The name "Rattly" is a variation of the word "rattle", which is also what his species is named after. |

| [[File:Rattle Battle.png|thumb|left|200px|Rattly in Rattle Battle in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'']] | | [[File:Rattlyjump.gif|frame|left]] |
| In ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', Rattly only appears in a few levels. He first appears in [[Topsail Trouble (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Topsail Trouble]], where players start the stage in front of a [[Animal Crate|Rattly Crate]]. They can optionally use Rattly's assistance to climb the ship mast, up until the [[No Animal Sign]] next to the [[Star Barrel]]. Rattly later appears in [[Rattle Battle (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Rattle Battle]], his most major role in a level, because [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] have to enter a [[Animal Barrel|Rattly Barrel]] in a room at the start to play as Rattly for a majority of the level. In [[Gloomy Gulch]] level [[Gusty Glade (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Gusty Glade]], Rattly can optionally be ridden. In [[Toxic Tower (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Toxic Tower]], players are required to transform into Rattly to perform high jumps to escape from the rising [[toxic waste]], up until the Star Barrel, where players use other animal buddies. Rattly is used for the final segment in [[Animal Antics (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Animal Antics]], set in a jungle environment. | | In ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', Rattly is a large green, red-ringed snake who uses his coiled, spring-like body to jump high in the air and reach areas normally inaccessible by the [[Kong]]s; he can also defeat enemies that they normally wouldn't be able to, as well as perform a [[Supercharge Attack|supercharge]] (which is used for jumping instead of attacking). |
|
| |
|
| Rattly's most noticeable ability is his [[Super move|Superjump]], allowing him to bounce high to reach normally inaccessible locations, sometimes to find a level collectible or [[Bonus Barrel]]. Rattly can also jump in midair when falling from a platform, and he can bounce off [[Zinger]]s without taking damage. On a small note, Rattly hops while moving.
| | ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' featured an entire level dedicated to Rattly ("[[Rattle Battle]]"), which was also the first level that had the Kongs using an [[Animal Barrel]] to physically change into an Animal Buddy. |

| | *[[Topsail Trouble]] |
| Rattly reappears in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', in which he retains his behavior and appears in the same level counterparts as in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', [[Topsail Trouble (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Topsail Trouble]], [[Rattle Battle (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Rattle Battle]], [[Gusty Glade (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Gusty Glade]], [[Toxic Tower (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Toxic Tower]], and [[Animal Antics (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Animal Antics]].

| ===''Donkey Konga'' series===
| | *[[Toxic Tower]] |
| Rattly makes a cameo in ''[[Donkey Konga 2]]''. He is among the characters whose artwork appears in Freestyle Zone while the player plays the [[Nintendo GameCube#DK Bongos|DK Bongos]]. Two Rattlies are engraved on a bridge in the "Port City - Foggy Morning" background scene. In ''[[Donkey Konga 3 JP]]'', Rattly's artwork can appear again in Freestyle Zone.
| | *[[Animal Antics]] |
| | |
| ===''Super Mario Odyssey''===
| |
| Rattly the Rattlesnake is referenced in the [[Metro Kingdom]] in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', where one of the street signs is named after him. However, his name is misspelled "'''Rattley'''".
| |
| | |
| ===''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker'' (Nintendo 3DS / Nintendo Switch)===
| |
| Rattly the Rattlesnake is referenced in the level [[Uptown, Downtown]] in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] and [[Nintendo Switch]] versions of ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'', where the same street sign from ''Super Mario Odyssey'' is named after Rattly, although his name remains misspelled.
| |
| | |
| ===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
| |
| Rattly appears as an Advanced-class support [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. The spirit occupies one support slot and increases the fighter's jump height when used. The spirit's puppet fighter is a [[Yoshi]] with increased jump power on the [[Kongo Jungle (Super Smash Bros.)|Kongo Jungle]] stage. The track that plays during the spirit battle is an arrangement of "Snakey Chantey" from ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', referencing the level [[Rattle Battle]] in which Rattly is playable.

| [[File:Rattly DKLIII unused.png|thumb|Rattly (shown as Dixie) bounces on a Buzz.]]
| |
| *[[List of Donkey Kong Land III pre-release and unused content|Via hacking]], the player can control a partially playable Rattly in ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. However, his sprites are missing, and only part of his usual functionality remains intact, most specifically the ability to bounce on enemies that would normally injure the Kongs, such as [[Buzz (enemy)|Buzz]]es and [[Bristles]].
