'''Snapjaws''' are [[ | '''Snapjaws''' are rare, invulnerable piranha enemies similar to [[Lockjaw]]s. They only appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. They are succeeded by [[Nibbla]]s in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!|Donkey Kong Country 3]]''. | ||
== Overview == | |||
[[File:Slime Climb DKC2 shot 2.png|thumb|left|256px|A Snapjaw swims below Diddy and Dixie.]] | |||
A Snapjaw is the main enemy of [[Slime Climb (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Slime Climb]] and [[Clapper's Cavern (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Clapper's Cavern]]. It follows the [[Kong]]s while swimming along the water surface. If [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] fall into the water, the Snapjaw bites them. | |||
Snapjaws | Snapjaws cannot be defeated, including from [[Invincibility Barrel]]s. When Diddy and Dixie are temporarily invincible and swim into the Snapjaw, numerous small, orange sparks appear around the Snapjaw (for effect) as it continues chasing them. The Kongs' only option is to avoid the Snapjaw. If the Kongs are idle on land, the Snapjaw swims directly below them back and forth. | ||
In Slime Climb, Diddy and Dixie have to climb up a rapidly sinking ship while the Snapjaw swims after them. In Clapper's Cavern, another Snapjaw follows the Kongs throughout the entire level. In most parts of the stage, the Kongs cannot swim across because of the Snapjaw. Rather, Diddy and Dixie must jump onto [[Clapper the Seal]]s, which appear throughout the level, to temporarily freeze the water into ice so they can get across safely. | |||
While they cannot be defeated normally, Snapjaws can be defeated from a glitch in Slime Climb. First, Diddy and Dixie must jump into the water at the beginning, then swim to the bottom as quickly as possible, but not too low, otherwise the Kongs lose a life. The Snapjaw must then bite either of the Kongs, which causes it to be stuck. The surviving Kong can then safely continue without the Snapjaw. | |||
Snapjaws do not appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. Instead, the game's level equivalents, [[Slime Climb (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Slime Climb]] and [[Clapper's Cavern (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Clapper's Cavern]], have harmful water in place of the Snapjaws. The Kongs must avoid touching the water. | |||

==Trivia== | |||
*In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, during the level Slime Climb, if Diddy and Dixie are under the effects of an Invincibility Barrel while underwater, the Snapjaw repeatedly bites at them rapidly, which causes the game to lag. In the original release, if the Invincibility Barrel is in effect, Snapjaw swims around the Kongs but it does not bite them. | |||
