==Appearances==
'''Slippas'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country'' Nintendo Player's Guide, [[Media:DKC Guide 16-17.jpg|Page 17]].</ref> are snake enemies which appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. They are red with black stripes and resemble the real world {{wp|coral snake}}.


The first appearance of Slippas is in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' where they, along with [[Gnawty]]s and [[Zinger]]s are one of the most common [[enemies]]. Slippas also appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. They are essentially the same [[Enemies|enemy]] in either [[Games|game]]. Slippas are mostly found in mines, caves and occasionally factories. The [[Bosses|boss]] [[Dumb Drum]] also creates Slippas.
==History==
===''Donkey Kong Country''===
[[File:I-Slippa.png|thumb|left|A Slippa holding a "I" letter in the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Color)|Game Boy Color version]] of ''Donkey Kong Country'']]
[[File:Reptile Rumble Slippas.png|thumb|The Kongs jump over a few Slippas in Reptile Rumble]]
In their debut appearance, ''Donkey Kong Country'', Slippas appear in four levels: [[Reptile Rumble]], [[Millstone Mayhem]], [[Elevator Antics]], and [[Misty Mine]]; all of them are subterranean except Millstone Mayhem. Slippas move by quickly slithering on the ground. [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] can defeat Slippas by using any attack, including rolling, jumping, or throwing a [[barrel]] at them. When a Slippa is defeated, it makes a hissing noise. In Misty Mine, there are some [[black drum]]s that release an indefinite number of Slippas.


==Characteristics==
In the boss level [[Boss Dumb Drum]], Slippas are the second pair of enemies that [[Dumb Drum]] releases.


Like most [[enemies]], Slippas attempt to attack [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]] or [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] by charging into them. However, the [[Kong]]s can jump on a Slippa to defeat it. Sometimes [[Oil Drum]]s and other types of [[barrel]]s will continually spawn an endless number of Slippas until destroyed. The [[Kongs]] can also do a roll out attack to defeat them.
In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], the Kongs can obtain a [[photograph]] of Slippa by rolling into three of them in a row.


== Trivia ==
===''Donkey Kong Country'' novel===
A single Slippa appears as a minor antagonist in the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (novel)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' novel. As the Kongs explore the Abandoned Mines, Slippa and [[Army]] ambush the group. Slippa proclaims that "thessse minesss are oursss" and attempts to attack [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]], but Diddy stomps him with a double jump. Slippa then escapes back into the darkness.

===''Donkey Kong Land''===
[[File:Riggin' Rumble.png|thumb|Donkey Kong encounters Slippas slithering down ropes in Riggin' Rumble]]
Slippas reappear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'', where they have slightly different role than in ''Donkey Kong Country''. They appear in many more levels and in a wider variety of environments, including mines, jungles, and skyscrapers. Slippas sometimes pop out of [[Basket of snakes|baskets]].


* Slippas have a resemblance to the [[:wikipedia:coral snake|coral snake]], a snake found on several locations on [[Earth]].
In [[Riggin' Rumble]] and [[Skyscraper Caper]], Slippas slither down the ropes until they reach the bottom. These Slippas can only be defeated by a thrown [[barrel]].


Slippas appear in fifteen levels:
