'''Snaps''' are enemies appearing in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''. They are basic orange crabs. Snaps first appear in the [[Beach]] area, the third level of the [[Ruins]] area, [[Mast Blast]], and later in the [[Cliff]] area. Snaps move from side to side and can only hurt [[Donkey Kong]] or [[Diddy Kong]] if they come in contact with one. They also have the tendency to chase the Kongs, meaning that they'll change direction the instant the Kongs jump over one.
