Snippys: Difference between revisions

'''Snapses'''<ref>Knight, Michael. ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' [[Prima Games|Prima]] Official Game Guide. Page 25.</ref> (singular: '''Snaps'''), also called '''Snippys'''<ref>Knight, Michael, and Alex Musa. ''Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D'' [[Prima Games|Prima]] Official Game Guide.</ref>{{page needed}}, are enemies appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]''. They are small orange crabs that can be defeated using any attack method. They have stronger variants known as [[Pinchly]]s.

In ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' Snapses are mostly featured in the levels of the [[Beach]] world, but they also later appear in the [[Ruins]] level, [[Mast Blast]], and later in the [[Cliff]] level, [[Tippy Shippy]]. Snapses move from side to side and can only hurt [[Donkey Kong]] or [[Diddy Kong]] if they come in contact with them. They also have a tendency to chase the [[Kong]]s, meaning that they change direction when the Kongs jump over one. Snapses can be defeated with a [[jump]], a [[Roll Attack|roll attack]] or by throwing a [[barrel]] at them.

A Snaps makes a minor appearance on the title screen of ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', where it wanders on the beach. A Snaps-looking crab with large claws is seen mounted on a weapon-like stick carried by an enemy called "Krob, the Konqueror" in a [[Media:Walruses.png|piece of concept artwork]] found in the game.
