Venus Trap Platforms[1] are carnivorous plants from Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and its Nintendo Switch port. They hang upside down and are supported by a coiled, flexible stem, which allows them to drop down and attack smaller creatures, then quickly return to their normal position. They lunge towards the Kongs or any enemy that moves beneath them. Venus Trap Platforms can be avoided as they descend to attack, but they cannot be destroyed. The base of their heads is coated with a leaf crown, which serves as a platform. The Kongs can quickly mount a Venus Trap Platform while it is close to the ground and be lifted to higher areas as it rises back.
Venus Trap Platforms can be found only in the first level of the game, Mangrove Cove. A later level, Bramble Scramble, presents the similar-looking Chompettes.
