Yellow Snaggles

Yellow Snaggleses, also referred to as Super Snaggleses or simply Snaggles , are shark enemies that appear in Donkey Kong Country Returns, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. They are a sub-species of Snaggles, another shark enemy species. They are yellow with sharp teeth, and resemble tiger sharks.

Like regular Snaggleses, they leap out of the water at regular intervals, but will make a quick additional leap right afterwards without any warning. They appear in the Beach world, and in some other levels, including Damp Dungeon. They can only be defeated by being struck with a barrel. If the Kongs are snatched by a Yellow Snaggles, they will lose a heart from their health meter. Yellow Snaggleses make dog noises when they jump out of the water, just like their relatives.

Yellow Snaggleses behave differently in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, in that instead of jumping out of the water, they will simply chase any Kong who is within their range. However, if the Kongs are not underwater, Yellow Snaggleses do not attack them. These enemies can only be defeated with a swipe of Cranky's cane. Attacking a Yellow Snaggles with a corkscrew move will not affect the enemy, and will result in the Kongs getting damaged instead.

Trivia

 * The Prima guide for Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D erroneously refers to this enemy as "Jumping Nibbles."
