'''Squitter the Spider''' is an [[Animal Friend]] in the [[Donkey Kong (franchise)|''Donkey Kong'' franchise]] who first appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''; he is a large spider covered in orange and black hair which has a vague resemblance to [[lava]].
'''Squitter''' is a large orange-and-black haired spider and an [[Animal Friend]] in the [[Donkey Kong (franchise)|''Donkey Kong'' franchise]]. He is one of the few spiders in said franchise to actually have eight legs, whereas most others, such as [[Small Spider]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' and [[Skittler]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', have six. Despite this, Squitter still lacks some spider features, such as multiple eyes and chelicerae. He also wears four pairs of orange-white shoes, which resemble those worn by another Animal Buddy, [[Expresso the Ostrich]].

====''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''====
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', Squitter can shoot webbing from his mouth, either as a projectile to hurt enemies or to make temporary platforms that can be used to reach high areas or cross gaps, however, he cannot jump on enemies and his jumping ability is actually worse than the [[Kong]]s.
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', Squitter appears to assist [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]] on their adventure. He has the ability to shoot out an unlimited supply of web projectiles from his mouth, which he can use to defeat most enemies, including [[Zinger]]s. He also has the ability to create temporary web platforms to reach higher areas, such as a [[Bonus Area]], or to cross a large gap. However, he cannot jump as high as the Kongs can in return. Squitter is unable to defeat an enemy by jumping on it, as this injures him in the process. Squitter appears in seven levels: [[Hot-Head Hop]], [[Krockhead Klamber (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Krockhead Klamber]], [[Hornet Hole (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Hornet Hole]], [[Bramble Scramble (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Bramble Scramble]], [[Web Woods (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Web Woods]], [[Toxic Tower (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Toxic Tower]], and lastly [[Animal Antics (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Animal Antics]].


'''Levels''': Squitter has a level dedicated to him in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' ([[Web Woods]]), which makes frequent use of his ability to spin web platforms.

In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', Squitter reprises his role, keeping mostly the same characteristics. Unlike in the previous game, Squitter can now defeat enemies by jumping on them, although it is no more effective than the Kongs' jump attack, because he cannot defeat stronger enemies like [[Buzz (enemy)|Buzz]]es this way. This ability was removed from the [[Game Boy Advance]] version. Squitter appears in seven levels: [[Fire-Ball Frenzy]], [[Blazing Bazukas]], [[Krack Shot Kroc]], [[Pot Hole Panic (Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!)|Pot Hole Panic]], [[Creepy Caverns]], [[Stampede Sprint]], and lastly [[Tyrant Twin Tussle]].

In ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', Squitter still lacks the ability to jump on enemies, so he has to fire webs at them to take them out. To make platforms, press {{button|gb|b}} then {{button|gb|select}} before it disappears.

Squitter appears in the last two installments of the [[Donkey Kong Land (series)|''Donkey Kong Land'' series]]: ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', based on his appearances in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' and ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' respectively. In both games, Squitter's webs have shorter range and disappear shortly after being shot. Web platforms can be created by pressing {{button|gb|b}} then {{button|gb|select}}. In ''Donkey Kong Land III'', Squitter can also defeat enemies by jumping on them.


'''Levels''':
In ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', Squitter appears in seven levels: [[Hothead Hop]], [[Krockhead Klamber (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Krockhead Klamber]], [[Hornet Hole (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Hornet Hole]], [[Web Woods (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Web Woods]], [[Toxic Tower (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Toxic Tower]], [[Fiery Furnace (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Fiery Furnace]], and [[Animal Antics (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Animal Antics]].

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===  
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', Squitter appears in several of the levels in the [[Northern Kremisphere]], most commonly in factory-setting levels. In this game, Squitter can now jump on enemies to defeat them, but he still can't jump on the enemies that are immune to Dixie's and Kiddy's jump attacks, such as the [[Buzz (enemy)|Buzzes]].
In the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], there are a few items of Squitter. ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' each have a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] of Squitter, unlockable at random. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', there is an Advanced support [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] of Squitter that negates the jump and speed reduction effect of sticky floors.


In the GBA version, Squitter is unable to jump on enemies.

In Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, Squitter appears to assist Diddy and Dixie Kong on their adventure. He has the ability to shoot out an unlimited supply of web projectiles from his mouth, which he can use to defeat most enemies, including Zingers. He also has the ability to create temporary web platforms to reach higher areas, such as a Bonus Area, or to cross a large gap. However, he cannot jump as high as the Kongs can in return. Squitter is unable to defeat an enemy by jumping on it, as this injures him in the process. Squitter appears in seven levels: Hot-Head Hop, Krockhead Klamber, Hornet Hole, Bramble Scramble, Web Woods, Toxic Tower, and lastly Animal Antics.

Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble![edit]

In Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, Squitter reprises his role, keeping mostly the same characteristics. Unlike in the previous game, Squitter can now defeat enemies by jumping on them, although it is no more effective than the Kongs' jump attack, because he cannot defeat stronger enemies like Buzzes this way. This ability was removed from the Game Boy Advance version. Squitter appears in seven levels: Fire-Ball Frenzy, Blazing Bazukas, Krack Shot Kroc, Pot Hole Panic, Creepy Caverns, Stampede Sprint, and lastly Tyrant Twin Tussle.
