'''Skittler Pillars'''<ref>{{cite| author = Knight, Michael | title = ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' Prima Official Game Guide | page = 100 }}</ref> are obstacles in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]''. They are large cuboid structures displaying a carving of a [[Skittler]] lowering on a thread. They are only encountered during [[Muncher Marathon]].

Skittler Pillars are usually placed apart from one another. Some of them repeatedly ascend and drop down with crushing power, squashing the [[Kong]]s if they stand beneath one, while others face each other vertically, simply rising and lowering simultaneously with a gap between them. The crushing type are introduced early in the stage, shortly before the appearance of [[Muncher (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|munchers]], where they cause [[banana]]s to fall nearby when they hit the ground; if one of these bananas is collected, another will take its place. The spot on which a Skittler Pillar is going to strike is marked by a chipped wooden panel. Skittler Pillars cannot be destroyed.

A single, hollow Skittler Pillar containing the [[KONG Letters|N Letter]] exists in the level. It acts the same as a crushing Skittler Pillar, but the Kongs can jump into its hollow space to obtain the letter.
