Similar to [[Oil Drum]]s, these baskets shoot an infinite amount of [[Slippa]]s at the direction of [[Donkey Kong]] or [[Diddy Kong]]. The baskets themselves only damage the Kongs when they roll down the temple stairs, as they are sometimes seen. However, upon contact with straight terrain, the rolling baskets rise up and become stationary, ultimately becoming safe to be touched. They can only be destroyed by the blast of a [[TNT Barrel]]. Although they seem to be malefic hazards, these baskets may sometimes be helpful for the Kongs, as they can be stood on just like on platforms; if the Kongs stand on a basket of snakes, no Slippas are spawned. Several baskets of snakes appear to be placed in midair over wide abysses, and the Kongs can leap from one basket to another in order to pass the chasms.

Baskets of snakes[1] are obstacles in Donkey Kong Land. Baskets of snakes spawn Slippas indefinitely, similarly to how black drums spawn other enemies. Baskets of snakes do not spawn Slippas while stood on. Baskets of snakes are the main obstacles of Snake Charmer's Challenge, and some appear in midair above a wide pit for the Kongs to travel across. Some baskets of snakes roll down stairs and hurt the Kongs upon touching them; if one hits a wall as it rolls, it stops and turns upright, becoming harmless. Baskets of snakes can be destroyed only from a TNT Barrel.
