| [[File:Reptile Rumble Slippas.png|thumb|left|Screenshot from ''Donkey Kong Country'']]
| | The first appearance of Slippas was in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' where they, along with [[Gnawty]]s and [[Zinger]]s are one of the most common [[enemies]]. They appeared most in cave levels, and could easily be defeated by being jumped on. If a [[Kong]] touches them, without rolling or jumping, however, the monkeys will be damaged. |
| Slippas are enemies in ''Donkey Kong Country''. Slippas move by slithering on the ground. Slippas can be defeated from any attack, including being rolled into, jumped on, or from a [[barrel]]. A Slippa makes a hissing noise when defeated. In [[Misty Mine]], Slippas are released from some [[black drum]]s indefinitely.

| ===''Donkey Kong Country'' novel===
| | Slippas also appear in Donkey Kong Country's remake on [[Game Boy Advance]], where they play the exact same role. |
| A single Slippa appears as a minor antagonist in the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (novel)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' novel. As the Kongs explore the Abandoned Mines, Slippa and [[Army]] ambush the group. Slippa proclaims that "thessse minesss are oursss" and attempts to attack [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]], but Diddy stomps him with a double jump. Slippa then escapes back into the darkness.

| |
| Slippas are enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. They appear in many more levels and in a wider variety of environments than before, including mines, jungles, and skyscrapers. Slippas sometimes pop out of [[Basket of snakes|baskets]]. In [[Riggin' Rumble]] and [[Skyscraper Caper]], Slippas slither down the ropes until they reach the bottom. These Slippas can only be defeated by a thrown [[barrel]].

| | Slippas later appeared in the [[Game Boy]] game, ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. They are essentially the same [[Enemies|enemies]] as they are in Donkey Kong Country. Slippas are mostly found in mines, caves and occasionally factories. The [[Bosses|boss]] [[Dumb Drum]] also attacks the Kongs with Slippas, who will slither around and attack. |
| ==Profiles== | | |
| | ==Characteristics== |
| | Like most [[enemies]], Slippas attempt to attack [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]] or [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] by charging into them. However, the [[Kong]]s can jump on or roll over a Slippa to defeat it. Sometimes [[Oil Drum]]s and other types of [[barrel]]s will continually spawn an endless number of Slippas until destroyed. |
