“The web-slinging spider, Squitter, is one of the coolest new animal friends. When you press the Y Button Button, he spins webs that knock out enemies. He can also shoot web platforms that the pair can use to cross gaps in the terrain by pressing the L Button, R Button and A Button Buttons.”
—Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest instruction booklet, page 25

Squitter is a large orange-and-black haired spider and an Animal Friend in the Donkey Kong franchise. He is one of the few spiders in said franchise to actually have eight legs, whereas most others, such as Small Spiders from Donkey Kong 64 and Skittlers 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.

History

Donkey Kong Country series

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest

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.

Levels:

Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!

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.

Levels:

Donkey Kong Land series

In Donkey Kong Land 2, Squitter has the same role and functionality as he did in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. However, here his webs have shorter range, and will disappear shortly after being shot.

The player can also have Squitter create web platforms by pressing B Button then Select Button.

Levels:

Donkey Kong Land III

Squitter reappears in Donkey Kong Land III. His shorter web range and web platform button combination return from Donkey Kong Land 2. His ability to defeat enemies by jumping on them returns from Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!.

Levels:

Super Smash Bros. series

Squitter makes a cameo appearance as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. He later appears as a spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, where he is an advanced support spirit that negates the jump and speed reduction effect of sticky floors.

Squitter SquitterTrophy3DS.png Squitter is one of Donkey Kong's animal friends. It must take him hours to lace up the four pairs of shoes he wears... The spiderwebs he shoots from his mouth can damage enemies, and they also can make platforms to walk on. But can he use them to make shoe racks? One of Donkey Kong's animal friends. Shoe-shopping must be expensive when you have eight legs! Anyway, Squitter helps you out by shooting webbing at enemies and making platforms appear in the air! And then, when that's all said and done, he can put his many, MANY feet up and relax.

Trivia

  • While most real-world spiders produce silk from their backsides, Squitter is able to shoot it from his mouth. However, members of the spider family Scytodidae are actually able to spit harmful venom-infused silk from their chelicerae, and Squitter even resembles these spiders, as both have an orange coloration with dark spots.
