| '''Nibblas''' are red-orange, carnivorous fish enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. Nibblas behave similarly to [[Snapjaw (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Snapjaw]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Nibblas are entirely invulnerable to attack, and they swim through the water quickly, following [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] around a level. If the [[Kong]]s fall into the water, the Nibbla charges into them and bites then. One difference that Nibblas have from Snapjaws is that they cannot swim through walls. Nibblas are one of the few enemies from the game that do not appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. | |

|
| Nibblas appear in three levels: [[Bobbing Barrel Brawl]], [[Kreeping Klasps]], and [[Fish Food Frenzy]]. Fish Food Frenzy features a unique Nibbla that follows behind the Kongs throughout the level, eating the underwater enemies in their path. The Nibbla changes color depending on its mood. When it is blue, the Nibbla is happy; to keep this mood, Nibbla has to eat [[Koco]]s along the way. If Nibbla turns purple, it starts to frown; if it is light pink, its fangs begin to show; and if the Nibbla is bright red, it swiftly bites the lead Kong then changes back into light pink. If Nibbla eats a [[Lurchin]], its mood worsens, although there is Lurchin near the end of the level that guards the path to a [[Bonus Barrel]]. A [[No Animal Sign]] of Nibbla appears at the end of Fish Food Frenzy, but it is different from those of the actual [[Animal Friends]] because the Nibbla does not cross and stays behind. Aside from levels, a Nibbla's only other appearance is as a photograph in [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], categorized as part of the [[Aquatic Attackers]] enemy class. | | Nibblas are similar to [[Snapjaw (fish)|Snapjaw]]s an enemy from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Like Snapjaws Nibblas will follow the Kongs throughout a level ready to chomp down on either [[Dixie]] or [[Kiddy Kong]] if they fall into the water. Nibblas mostly appear in levels that have boardwalks in them. Also like Snapjaws, Nibblas are completely invulnerable and cannot be harmed. |

|
| In the [[Game Boy Advance]] [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|version]], Nibblas also appear in the [[Pacifica]] level [[Stormy Seas]] and the [[Kaos Kore]] level [[Lightning Lookout]].
| | Additionally, an unnamed Nibbla is a "sort-of" Animal Buddy who follows Kiddy Kong and Dixie Kong through level "[[Fish Food Frenzy]]" as a friend to the Kongs — so long as the player keeps him well-fed (although in any other level, he is an enemy only). If Kiddy and Dixie continually feed Nibbla Kocos, he will remain blue, smiling contently as he follows the Kongs throughout the level. However, if the Kongs feed Nibbla one of the many spiny-shelled [[Lurchin]]s scattered throughout the level, or simply fails to feed him enough, his mood will gradually worsen until he finally satisfies his hunger by attacking a Kong. |

| | Nibbla's status as an animal buddy is debatable, as his feeding requirements act much like an obstacle and inconvenience. However, for his help in clearing enemies from the level, he may be considered "partly" an animal friend, in fact one of the games Bonus Barrels is only reachable with Nibbla's aid. Also of note, there is a "No Nibbla" sign at the end of "Fish Food Frenzy", but no reward is given when bringing Nibbla past it. |
