In ''Donkey Kong Country Returns | In ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'', purple Skittlers rise and lower on a web thread, falling to the ground if jumped on. Some purple Skittlers hanging directly above a pit can instantly be defeated from a jump attack instead of falling down. Orange Skittlers slowly drop from their web regardless of the [[Kong]]s' actions. While on the ground, both purple and orange Skittlers go after [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] and attempt to injure them. | ||
If the Kongs are touched by a Skittler, they lose a heart point. The Kongs cannot approach a Skittler with a [[Roll Attack]] if it hangs from a thread, though other attacks are effective against it. When on land, Skittlers can be defeated by any attack, including a roll. | If the Kongs are touched by a Skittler, they lose a heart point.
