Slippa

Slippas are a fairly common type of snake that is orange with black stripes. Their colouring resembles the coral snake, a venemous serpent found in several parts of the Earth.

Donkey Kong Country
The first appearance of Slippas was in Donkey Kong Country where they, along with Gnawtys and Zingers are one of the most common enemies. They appeared most in cave levels, and could easily be defeated by being jumped on. If a Kong touches them, without rolling or jumping, however, the monkeys will be damaged.

Slippas also appear in Donkey Kong Country's remake on Gameboy Advance, where they play the exact same role.

Donkey Kong Land
Slippas later appeared in the Gameboy game, Donkey Kong Land. They are essentially the same enemies as they are in Donkey Kong Country. Slippas are mostly found in mines, caves and occasionally factories. The boss Dumb Drum also attacks the Kongs with Slippas, who will slither around and attack.

Characteristics
Like most enemies, Slippas attempt to attack Donkey or Diddy by charging into them. However, the Kongs can jump on or roll over a Slippa to defeat it. Sometimes Oil Drums and other types of barrels will continually spawn an endless number of Slippas until destroyed.
