Similar to [[Black Drum]]s, these baskets shoot an infinite amount of [[Slippa]]s in the direction of [[Donkey Kong]] or [[Diddy Kong]]. When stationary, the baskets themselves are safe to touch and can be stood on as on a platform. They only damage the Kongs when they roll down a temple stairway, as they are sometimes seen. However, upon contact with straight terrain, the rolling baskets rise up and become stationary. They can only be destroyed by the blast of a [[TNT Barrel]]. When 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.
The [[Kong]]s can stand on a basket of snakes, which causes Slippas to stop spawning. There are some baskets of snakes located in midair above a wide abyss, which the Kongs can only get across by jumping from the baskets of snakes. Sometimes the Kongs encounter a basket of snakes that rolls down the stairs, and they must avoid touching it or else they get injured. If a basket of snakes hits a wall as it rolls, it stops and faces upright. The Kongs can only defeat them with a [[TNT Barrel]].

A basket of snakes spits a Slippa at Donkey Kong

Baskets of snakes[1] are pot obstacles that appear in Donkey Kong Land and are the main obstacle of the level, Snake Charmer's Challenge. Baskets of snakes are similar to Black Drums in that they spawn indefinite enemies in the direction of Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, although baskets of snakes only spawn Slippas, as suggested by their name.

The Kongs can stand on a basket of snakes, which causes Slippas to stop spawning. There are some baskets of snakes located in midair above a wide abyss, which the Kongs can only get across by jumping from the baskets of snakes. Sometimes the Kongs encounter a basket of snakes that rolls down the stairs, and they must avoid touching it or else they get injured. If a basket of snakes hits a wall as it rolls, it stops and faces upright. The Kongs can only defeat them with a TNT Barrel.
